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...more
