Treatment process

1. Liberally apply all natural oil on DRY hair, saturating the hair and scalp.

Comb oil through hair with the detangling comb to further distribute the oil and remove knots.

2. Use a tail-pin comb to separate the hair into four quadrants, and use the hair clips to secure each section.

3. Meticulously comb one quadrant at a time. Wipe the comb off onto a white cloth. Remove as many lice and nits as possible with the comb.

4. Wash and rinse out the oil. Then blow dry.

5. Final dry check using a bright light to closely inspect the hair to remove any remaining nits.

Final check is performed within 3-5 days after the initial treatment.
