Head Louse

You can call them:

Head Louse

Head Lice

or even better try this one!

Pediculosis Capitis (the technical term for the little bugs).

Nits is the term for the eggs.

I wish that I could give you a miracle treatment or cure for the little problems. It has become a chronic problem espescially in schools. There is so much out there in the way of treatments and information on how to prevent it that if you were not already tearing your hair out before them you would be after.

There are numerous
treatments that range
from the chemical to the
alternative therapy.

One point that I
will say is head lice DO NOT jump.
Good legs for walking though!

On the serious side which this is I have seen so many families at breaking point and I want to help you all.

Come and see me and I will give you information on appropriate treatment and provide on going support for you and your family. In the clinic I have designed a two page information leaflet that goes through ALL the necessary cleaning regime and the most ideal way to combat the lice. Cleaning such as car seats and lounges etc in a detailed list form that is easy to follow.

Trichologists do keep up to date with the latest research and studies for all areas of the hair and scalp.

Please do not send kids to school with head lice, or take them to the hairdressers until they are totally gone,(including the eggs), as this is how they are spread.

Sometimes having someone outside that is an expert in the area to guide you is the best answer.
