⚡ At a Glance
- • Treatment Action: Breaks down the glue that attaches eggs to hair and immobilises lice for easier removal
- • Best for: Parents and carers seeking a natural, gentle method to aid lice detection and comb-out
- • Not ideal for: Households preferring fast-acting chemical insecticide treatments over comb-based removal
Natural essential oils loosen egg adhesive and restrict lice movement, helping combs remove eggs and lice. Best results come from using alongside a fine-tooth NitFree comb for thorough removal.
Easier Comb-Outs – with glue-breaking action from essential oils
A blend of essential oils works on the adhesive that secures nits to the hair shaft, while also making lice less mobile so combing captures them more effectively. The solution reduces resistance around eggs, allowing a fine-tooth comb to strip hair clean.
Faster, less painful combing makes full-head checks more practical, particularly on long or tangle-prone hair. That helps reduce the need for repeated treatments.
Gentle on Scalp and Hair – with a chemical-free essential oil formula
Formulation contains natural essential oils and explicitly avoids 'nasty ingredients', so no insecticide chemicals are included. The blend also leaves hair conditioned and carries a pleasant scent noted by users.
Suitable for frequent checks and for people with sensitive scalps, as the approach focuses on facilitation of combing rather than harsh chemical eradication. Conditioning effects ease detangling.
More Effective When Used with a NitFree Comb – with comb-compatible glide
Designed to be used in combination with the Nitty Gritty NitFree comb, the solution allows the comb to glide smoothly through any hair type to capture lice and eggs. Reduced friction promotes consistent, thorough passes across the scalp.
Pairing with a fine-tooth metal comb improves detection and removal rates compared with combing dry. That makes head checks quicker and more reliable for carers.
