Head Lice Comb
The Head Lice Comb and why it is Vital
Before we go on it is important that we understand the reason why the head lice is so hard to remove using a conventional comb: a head louse will lay her eggs very close to the base of the hair, almost on the scalp, and lives on the scalp herself, hence a conventional comb will not reach the tiny creatures, and its teeth are likely to be too widely separated to do so, too.
A head lice comb is designed to be smaller yet deeper, and also to have very fine teeth and tiny gaps between them, thus enabling the user to remove both lice and nits – the troublesome and difficult to eradicate eggs of the lice – from the hair with greater success.
Affordable Head Lice Comb
A cheap and simple item, generally made from plastic and metal and available from many shops on the high street plus internet suppliers, using the comb regularly is a must if one is to b certain of eliminating lice. In fact, there is a routine to be followed that is based around the life cycle of the head louse. A female adult louse will live for thirty days, and lay each day a handful of eggs. The first step, then, is to use the nit comb to remove all living creatures – statistics have shown there are likely to be less the twenty adults on the head at one time – and as many eggs as possible. As we know the eggs hatch in a week, and newborns do not begin breeding for another week, we know that if we comb regularly all new lice that are removed will not be layers, and one week later the head should be completely clear.
Conventional Head Lice Comb
As in many walks of life, however, technology has seen an advance on the conventional head lice comb, and it is now possible to buy electronic versions that, using a standard battery and a very small charge, electrocute the lice as they find them. This method is favoured by many as it has proved efficient and simple to use in a number of trials, yet many people still prefer to refer to the older and less technologically advanced nit comb.
Whatever route is chosen it is vital to remember that a nit comb should be used in conjunction with other methods, including washing the hair with special shampoos, as this is the best way to make sure that homemade remedies for head lice are successful.
