head lice treatment

Most kits include a hair treatment (shampoo or solution), a fine-toothed lice or nit removal comb, and often a household or furniture spray for treating bedding and furniture.

Household sprays are included to treat lice on furniture, bedding, and other surfaces; some product descriptions claim residual protection (for example, up to four weeks) and note formulas suitable for use around pets in certain cases.

Nit combs are usually included to physically remove dead lice and nits after treatment, although at least one lotion product in these listings specifically advertises that nit combing is not required.

Common warnings include keeping products out of reach of children, avoiding eye contact (eye irritant warnings), consulting a doctor if pregnant or nursing, and noting non-toxic or paraben-free formulations where applicable.

Across these listings, application forms include multiple-form kits, liquids, sprays, and creams.

Suggested minimum ages vary by product and include recommendations such as 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, and 6 years.
