Terminator Lice Comb - Professional Stainless Steel Comb for Effective Head Lice Treatment (Color May Vary) (Pack of 1)

I ordered this comb because I found about 15 nits and 4 to 5 hatchlings on my six year olds head. I was able to remove them with just my hands and the plastic purple comb that comes with the treatment shampoo but I wanted a comb that would last and would make my job a little easier. I ended up doing the 1 day shipping because I found out my 10 year old cousin was covered in lice and I wanted to be able to help her get it taken care of.I want to recommend a page for anyone dealing with lice, it's called http://thenicelicelady.blogspot.com/?m=1 and she has the best advice. She helped me feel so much better about having to deal with lice and make it a task that may take some time but is actually effective. She stresses that there is no need to waste your time cleaning and washing everything the person with lice had come in contact with, you don't have to do any extra cleaning. She also explains why the only tools you'll need to beat the lice is a good fine tooth comb and some cheap conditioner.I took her advice and was able to try it out on my cousin, who has the thickest hair I have ever seen. My daughters hair is thin and blonde so it was easy to find the bugs on her but my cousin has dark brown/black hair that can't even be brushed all the way through with a hair brush and has to brush it in layers. I could see a lot if nits on her but could not visibly see the hatchlings and found one adult louse when I checked her hair dry, the day I realized how bad she had them. That same night I used the purple came that came with the Rexall treatment they had tried, several times, and she was still plagued by the bugs. I did the very bottom layer of hair just to try and start the process and get her some sort of relief, I used the conditioner trick but the purple come was definitely not very good at grabbing onto the nits. On that first round though I filled up three paper towels of hatchlings and nits. If that purple comb or any fine tooth comb is the only one you have that will do also, just make sure you comb through it and get everything you can.The day I got the Terminator comb in I had her take a shower so her hair would be wet and then I put the top part up, not even half up half down since her hair is so thick. I completely saturated her hair in conditioner, I ran out and had to use a spray on detangler on the top part which worked okay but wish I would have had more conditioner instead. After I had her covered I began using the Terminator lice comb and right away I could see how well it grabbed the nits and the hatchlings that i couldn't even see. She had so many that I worked for 2 hours and I know I haven't got everything.The lice lady says to remove what you can and do it everyday until you don't see any nits or lice, brush the comb through for 100 strokes but if you find a bug or nit start again at 1. Then when they are clear after 100 strokes you are supposed to do a wet check every 2-3 days for two weeks but if you find anything lice related the 2 weeks starts over.Okay, after I combed through the bottom layer the best I could I untied the top layer, before this I hadn't seen any large lice but the first comb through I pulled out 2 big lice and some more small ones. Out of the top of her hair I found a lot of medium to adult lice. After I combed through the top layer to the point that I wasn't finding really anything that warranted me messing with her hair much longer, I moved to the bottom to do a quick run through again to make sure any other big lice didn't run down to hide in hair. After each comb through I wiped the comb on a paper towel and made sure there were no bugs or nits stuck in the teeth that would get put back in the hair. When you use the conditioner and comb through it will slide out of the hair on the comb which really helps the bugs to stay in one place while you are still working on the hair. I will be checking her again in Saturday the 23rd, I was going to check tomorrow but her head is a little sore from all the combing.I had her take a shower after I was finished to wash the conditioner out and to get anything I may have loosened with the comb out and washed away. I kind of looked through her hair by lifting up part of it and checking a couple places I knew had a bunch of nits before and I did not see anything. I know I did not get every single lice or nit, but the main thing is to dwindle their numbers and beat the cycle. I was so happy and she was too. This comb is worth every penny. The treatments were 8.00 dollars a piece and they didn't even work. Go to that ladies blog and read. Do your research on these things and you will feel so much better and much more confident about getting rid of them for good. You just have to be a little nit-picky!! ;)As you can see there were some hairs that were pulled out but she is extremely tender headed and handled the whole 2 hours very well, those few hairs do not take away from the star rating because I know this product works and helped me get rid of a nuisance for my little cousin.

Louse and nit free after 4 days with household of 4. This durable nit comb exterminator when used properly glides through hair, pinches the louse/ nits into the comb teeth for fast removal. Use white paper towel to clean comb, place hairs and louse on white paper towel or jar.Fast louse nit treatment:All heads be treated same day. I used Nix cream. Lice eggs are like cement glue to strands. The comb gets them off. Seal off bottom of bedroom doors, choose 1 clean room after treatment for all household to sleep in for a few days for louse and nits to hatch and pass away. (They don’t live long without a host) Every morning and night cycle wash all contact clothing and bedding (I put boiling water in wash)Added assurance: Recommend purchasing separately the BeBird R1 wax remover scope pen to inspect household scalps & strands from comfort of your cell screen to assure the all clear. Brown fella = adult louse, clear or grey means youngin. It’s worth being mindful when you finish treatments you may notice damaged hair follicles that show up on the scope with white round spots on the strands. The hair endured a lot and is recovering. Nit eggs are typically oval shaped and off white. If you see black -the egg is no longer viable. This exterminator comb works so well I highly recommend it. Store box bought ones don’t hold the same power as this one in my experience. Section off the hair in as many sections possible for thicker hair, apply cream and start gliding the comb up and away from scalp at an angle, repeat every day or what you have time for. Enjoy the results and leave a review like me. Happy family and customer! Thanks so much for this product!

Here's my horror story: After a "super-lice"¹ outbreak at my daughter's school, and my daughter catching it, we spent a lot of money and time on so many different products to rid her of this horrible pest. We bought almost every type of over-the-counter lice treatment (most of which had a "lice and nit comb" include). My daughter has very long and THICK hair. The lice/nit combs included in the kits were almost always plastic, and even if they were metal, they were still very cheaply made. Needless to say, each and every one of them broke upon first use. So then I went to our local beauty store and bought a $10 lice comb they had that looked more sturdy and had the prongs very close to each other (so it'd hopefully pick up everything). Problem was, they would not glide through my daughter's thick hair, not even in small sections with lot of conditioner. By this point we are months into the process and while she'd be good for a few days, it only took a week or so and she was infested again. I was at my wits end and started to worry about all the chemicals being continuously used on her (not to mention the damage it was doing to her hair). I started doing the natural coconut oil and tee tea oil remedy (Google it if you want directions). It worked great and the time between infestations was longer, but she still had them coming back. After a lot of research I realized she's not re-catching the lice, but that all these methods just killed the actual full grown or baby lice, not necessarily the eggs, and those stupid cheap combs included weren't pulling them out. So we were killing most the lice, but week or two later when those tiny eggs hatched we had an infestation again. I ordered this comb based off reviews and having tried basically everything else. I was hesitant that this comb would be like the one I purchased at the beauty store and not comb through her hair, but just get stuck and yank out her hair. HOWEVER, once I got it, I ran it through her DRY hair and it ran through smoothly, which was a surprise considering how close each prong was to another. So I was very hopefully. I then did the apple cider, coconut oil, and tea tree oil method (Google for directions, the apple cider loosens the "glue" type substance on the eggs). I then used this comb to go through her coconut oiled hair and not only did it glide through smoothly not matter what angle I was combing from (down, right, left, up) but it caught the eggs, nits, and tiniest, newly hatched baby lice (we're talking so small I could only tell they were there by wiping on paper towel and using magnifying glass). I also made sure to start at the very root of her since the eggs attach near scalp. It was amazing (and gross) what this comb took out. I let the oil treatment sit over night (as recommend, and btw coconut oil is an amazing conditioning treatment for hair), and did one more combing in morning, althought there wasn't much left after first combing. It has been months now and she's FINALLY lice free with no re-infestation since the treatment using this comb! God, what a relief!!! What I realize is, all other combs weren't simply catching all the eggs/nits/tiny newly hatched lice, which was the problem. No matter what treatment you decided to use (although I suggest all natural) a very thorough combing to catch the eggs/nits is crucial! And this comb is the only one that works at grabbing and taking out everything, hence you won't then have future breakout in week or two. Don't waste your time and money with any other combs, they aren't designed like this one! I wish I would have used this one in the first place. Would've saved a lot of money, stress, time, and my child suffering. I can see why the professional lice/nit removal places that charge $$$ use this product. A+ review from me!
