Lice Guard - 4 Easy Steps To Get Rid Of Head Lice by:Barb Dearing

If you are still using the old-fashioned shampoos to get rid of head lice

, it's time to try a new approach. The fact is, these stubborn little bugs have gradually evolved to the point where they are practically immune to the chemicals used in the shampoos. Instead, you need to develop a "seek and destroy" mentality that wipes out the frontline, or adult population, while infiltrating the backup troops known as eggs and nits.

One of the most effective ways to wage the war on lice is to use a comprehensive system known as Lice Guard. This is not just a product, but a well-formulated four-step plan to wipe out these creepy little bugs once and for all.

1. The first step of the Lice Guard system is marketed as the Robi comb, but this is not your average lice comb! The Robi comb is an electronic device that is combed slowly through the hair. The comb starts vibrating to let you know it has encountered a louse -- it then traps and kills the offending bug. By continuing to comb the hair until the buzzing stops, you know that you have effectively removed all of the live adult lice from the hair. This step provides peace of mind as you no longer have to wonder and hope that you have been able to visually locate all of the live bugs.

2. The second step of this system involves a special shampoo designed to help remove eggs and nits. The shampoo helps loosen the grip that eggs and nits have on the hair, so they can be easily removed with combing. The shampoo itself is non-toxic and contains no pesticides. It can actually help repair hair that has been damaged by the harsh chemicals contained in traditional lice shampoos. By applying the shampoo to the hair before combing, you can actually triple the number of eggs and nits removed with the comb.

3. After shampooing, it's time to comb the hair again with a heavy-duty egg and nit comb. This comb is made of stainless steel, as opposed to those flimsy plastic combs that come with the average shampoo kit. Even though the comb is made of stainless steel, it has rounded blunt ends that make it gentle to use. The comb is sturdy enough to be boiled in between uses and can be used on any type of hair. It even comes with a long-handled mini-magnifier to help you visually locate eggs and nits that may be hiding in the hair.

4. Finally, it's time for the final step of the process. A non-aerosol spray repellant is applied directly to the hair to help discourage new lice from moving in. If you or your child is likely to be re-exposed to head lice, this repellant can be used to keep lice from returning to their old home -- your hair! Like the shampoo, the repellant spray is non-toxic and pesticide-free. If used once in the morning, it will protect against infestation lice all day.

By using this four-step system, you should be able to get rid of head lice within a week or two. If you would like to read actual user comments about Lice Guard and other popular health products, you may want to visit the website recommended below.
