way :
  • The solution is only intended for external use on the hairy scalp and hair.
  • Before using the solution, the hair is washed and toweled. The preparation is evenly massaged into the slightly damp hair. Work from the outside in and make sure that the hair near the scalp is particularly well wetted with the solution, as this is where most lice and nits are found. Long and particularly thick hair should be separated and treated strand by strand.
  • Only use the solution undiluted and not together with shampoo, soap or other care products.
  • Leave the solution on uncovered scalp hair for 30-45 minutes; then wash it off with clear, warm water.
  • Before drying the hair, any hard-wearing lice eggs (nits) sticking to the hair should be combed out. This requires the use of a special lice comb.
  • In order to ensure full effectiveness, the hair must not be washed with shampoo (rinsing with water is allowed) for at least the first three days after using the preparation. As a result, the active ingredient remains on the hair and kills lice that hatch from the eggs even after the treatment, or the nit content is severely damaged.
  • Checks whether the treatment was successful should be carried out with a lice comb as often as possible, preferably on the day after the treatment and about 4 - 5, 8 - 10 and 14 - 16 days after the application of the preparation. Head and body lice are easily transmitted from person to person, so checking all contact persons in the family and in kindergarten/school is strongly recommended.
