Reviews
Daughter brought lice from kindergarten. I noticed that she often scratched her head, and this is obvious lice symptom, which, alas, was confirmed. The hair is medium length but not thick. I am an opponent of all shampoos, because they contain insecticides, albeit in small quantities. The skin in children is too sensitive, allergies often appear. Folk remedies also do not inspire confidence. I decided to fight with a comb. I bought AntiV. There is nothing special about him, but he combes out the parasites well. Planted a girl, pre-treated hair vinegar solution. Scratched about an hour, then the daughter began to spin, could not stand it. Found several adults, not a lot of nits. Repeated every day, but for 20 minutes. I looked through the hair through a magnifier. So got rid of without chemistry, did not have to change the hairstyle.

My daughter was 13 years old when she began to complain about lice bites. Get rid of with hair dye based hydrogen peroxide. Nits combed her with a LiceGuard comb. I didn’t want to overpay for an ordinary comb. Completely arranged a set at a more affordable price. First used with short cloves. Then, for prevention with long ones. I remember my mother in childhood brought lice with dust soap, her head was scratched with an ordinary comb with small teeth.

The lice and nits comb is a simple and simple remedy, without which no lice and nits removal procedure can do.
