DIY Lice Removal: Steps For Success
Even if you opt for at-home treatments, The Lice Clinics is behind you every step of the way. Each DIY kit includes detailed instructions to guarantee an effective lice removal process based on the following steps.
-
Step 1: Apply Active Solution
Apply ample Active Solution to dry hair, saturating roots and scalp, while working the oil through all the hair.
-
Step 2: Rinse
Wait 20 minutes and wash out the oil. Dish soap will get the oil out faster than shampoo; may have to repeat washing with dish soap several times.
-
Step 3: Comb Through Hair
Use the Terminator comb to comb through all hair, combing in small sections. Conditioner can be used, if needed for the combing.
-
Step 4: Repeat
Repeat oil application on days 5 and 10. Repeat combing on days 2-10.

What Are The Symptoms of Head Lice?
An itch here and a scratch there can seem like nothing at first. A few days later you notice that the scratching is becoming more frequent and seems as if it’s gradually getting worse. You might notice some raised patches of skin around your hairline and your first thought might be that you’re having a reaction to a recent hair care product you used.

How can I tell if my child has lice?
Head lice can be seen by the naked eye but it can be very difficult. Adult lice will be the easiest to spot because they are the biggest. But at the size of a sesame seed, they still aren’t that big.
Head lice are most commonly found on the scalp, behind the ears and near the neckline at the base of the head. Symptoms include a tickling sensation or feeling something moving through the hair.
It's after hours and I just realized my child has lice. What can I do?
Call or send us a text at 864-484-7087. If a technician is available to answer immediately, they will. Otherwise, someone will call the next morning. In the meantime, we wouldn’t recommend any drastic moves, without talking to us first. Pull your child’s hair back and make sure no one in the family goes head-to-head with each other. It’s not going to get much worse overnight- so let everyone get a good night’s sleep and tackle it in the morning. We definitely don’t advise you to stay up late washing laundry, applying a DIY clinic from the pharmacy, or searching the internet for advice. You’ll be doing a lot of needless work.
Where do lice come from?
Head lice have been around for millions of years and dried-up lice and their eggs have been found on the hair and scalps of Egyptian mummies! Head lice do not come out of the air or from the ground. They are human parasites that feed on blood and travel from one head to another. Head Lice are uniquely adapted to be on a human head. They would never choose to come off of a head and onto a pillow, hat, chair, etc.
How do lice spread?
Head lice can be spread whenever there is direct head-to-head contact with an infested individual. Lice may also be transmitted by items such as hats, hair ties, scarves, pillows, etc. However, this type of transfer is probably quite rare.
How can I treat my home for head lice?
The great news is lice are not environmental, like fleas or bedbugs. They do not invade your carpets, curtains, mattresses, etc like we grew up hearing. Lice are dependent on a human head to stay alive.
After a successful head lice treatment, we recommend a couple of precautions. Sheets should be washed in hot water and placed in a high-heat dryer for 40- minutes. Brushes, hairbands, etc can be cleaned out and placed in the freezer overnight.
If there were a certain place on the couch where an infected person always sits or a car seat cover that worries you, you can either lint roll it, spot vacuum it, or take the cover off and throw it in the dryer for 40- minutes.
Otherwise, your house is not an issue at all-and, thankfully, neither are your pets!
How can I prevent head lice?
This can be tricky. Head lice are so prevalent today that it can be difficult to avoid. Hair pulled back in a braid or a bun is a helpful deterrent. Spraying hair with an essential oil scent, such as peppermint spray, is another deterrent. Knowing that head lice are spread primarily through head- to- head contact, it makes sense to talk to your children about how they can limit their heads or hair touching friends’ heads or hair.
Only a small percentage of cases are transferred by secondary objects, but it still is wise not to share brushes, hats, scarves, etc.
