my daughter always gets head lice and nits from school. we play a lot and sleep together so i easily catch them. i tried using comb but it does not remove everything. i still have to do it manually (divide the hair section by section to look for lice and nits) which is really time-consuming and tiring. we also used a local brand shampoo which attracted them more. i tried to use lice shampoo which really killed all of them but our hair begun falling and made some strands gray/white. when i looked into the ingredient, it does have a pesticide.
i started using nit-nurse shampoo and because it's natural, we did not have falling hair and hair color change. Also, I tie my daughter's hair into a bun or braid so she won't easily have another episode of infestation.
The combs you are told to use take up a lot of time! I have used a flea comb because Fleas are much smaller then the lice and the flea comb also takes out some of the eggs as well! I believe the combs cost about one or two dollars which is well worth the cost! My husband and I teamed up to get get our children lice free. My husband would interwound thread in a comb to take out the rest that where so difficult. We just traded off combs the nits stick to the thread!!
