September is National Head Lice Prevention Month!
Did you know that September is National Head Lice Prevention Month? The treatment professionals at Lice Nannies have HEARD IT ALL when it comes to cockamamie ideas around how to prevent your child from getting lice. Here are just a few of my favorites:
- Myth: Put lots of hair gel in your hair
- Myth: Spray tea tree oil in your hair
- Myth: Dye your hair
- Myth: Use “Repellent” shampoos and sprays
- Myth: Bag things, clean like crazy and spray your furniture if someone with lice has been in your home
- Myth: Don’t wash your hair as often-lice like clean hair
And here are the realities of lice…. based on scientific facts, not fear mongering: Lice cannot live off your head, so you need not worry about cleaning ANYTHING. Simply use a reliable treatment method such as the one formulated specifically Lice Nannies USA by a Doctor of Pharmacy at Lice Nannies USA, and you will be rid of the lice for good! Lice don’t care if your hair is clean, dirty, short, long, sprayed with hair gel, tea tree oil or magic lice repelling fairy dust…. they thrive in any hair that is longer than 1/4-inch-long and care not about the smell, color, or cleanliness.
Our best suggestion to you for preventing head lice is simple: keep your child’s hair from touching other kid’s heads. For girls, this can be accomplished by braids or a bun. Lice need loose hair to grab onto, so tying hair up is almost a guaranteed way to prevent getting it. For boys, this means encouraging them not to press their heads against that of their friends (most often this occurs when they are squeezing in to view someone’s phone, wrestling, etc.
Voila! There you have it. The very best Lice Prevention tips from Lice Nannies USA 😊
