Application:
Apply the dimethicone lotion to the hair, spreading it well so that everything feels smooth, especially close to the scalp. Leave it on for 15 minutes and then wash it out with regular shampoo. If the hair still feels somewhat smooth after the first wash, that's fine. This protective layer prevents lice from getting a grip on the hair, which can prevent reinfestation.
Combing after treatment is always recommended because gone means gone. The lice will all be eliminated, but the nits can still hatch to some extent. The nymphs (young lice) are very small and difficult to comb out (they are also close to the scalp), which is why we advise repeating the treatment “lightly” after 9 days. If nymphs have hatched in the meantime, they will be eliminated by the lotion before they mature and can lay eggs in turn.
