The recommended usage for someone with nits and head lice is:
Shampoo application on: Day one, day two, day three, day five and day seven.
If you have any evidence of lice, which would be the nits and or bugs then you should be using the shampoo on day one, two, three, five and seven. Why? You will be killing head lice daily as they hatch because as you know it is impossible to remove all those nits in a day, or two, or three…
The recommended usage for someone with NO nits or lice but have exposed to lice is:
Shampoo application on: Day one and day seven.
Why use TLC if you don't have lice? Because you can be a carrier and not ever really get a case of lice. If not treated then that bug or two that is somewhere on your head will get off and go to the family member that has lice and continue the cycle.
Everyone in the household will start the treatment on the same day and end on the same day but follow whichever treatment plan fits your needs.
If your school is average, most outbreaks will last a minimum of 3 to 6 weeks. Some schools will battle with it for months and months.
The most common question is:
What do I do to protect against getting lice again?
Lice Lady Tip: Many families will continue using TLC Shampoo once or twice a week after completing their course or treatment until they hear from the school that there have not been any new cases for a couple of weeks. By doing so you are killing anything live on the head on that day, thus interrupting the cycle. But you must be diligent and continue to check your children’s heads frequently. You do not want to go through this again due to others reinfesting your kids.
Total Lice Control Shampoo can be used daily. It is safe and gentle enough to be used everyday!
Lice Lady Note: There is not a repellent out there that works to my knowledge. I go to families homes that have invested a lot of money and faith in these products, and they do not prevent the lice infestation. That is why TLC Total Lice Control Shampoo does not sell a repellent!
Total Lice Control Shampoo is safe for all ages and it can be used daily.
The amount used per day varies by hair length. Here is the recommended daily amount:
