Getting Rid of Lice: What You Really Need to Know

Getting rid of lice isn’t something that happens with just one treatment. It takes a bit of time and ongoing effort to make sure they’re completely gone and don’t come back.

Using the right tools makes a big difference. Most drugstore lice treatments aren’t very effective anymore because lice have become resistant to them. That’s why we recommend Absolute Clear, a natural enzyme-based product that works fast. It not only kills lice but also breaks down the sticky glue that keeps their eggs or nits attached to the hair. That makes combing them out much easier.

It’s also important to follow up with repeat treatments. One treatment is rarely enough. Doing it more than once helps catch anything that was missed the first time and prevents lice from sticking around or spreading again. At Clean Comb Salon, we keep things simple. For one flat fee, we’ll treat the individual and continue with weekly checks until they’re completely lice-free for two weeks. We guarantee it.

Cleaning your home is just as important as treating your hair. Lice can hang out on bedding, furniture, clothes, and even in your car. Make sure to vacuum everything including mattresses, couches, rugs, and car seats. Toss all bedding, pillows, coats, and blankets into the dryer on the highest heat setting for at least 30 minutes. There’s no need to wash them because washing won’t kill lice or nits. To make things easier, we also recommend using Absolute Clear to spray your home. It helps reduce your workload and gives your space extra protection for up to six weeks.
