How Can We Prevent Head Lice?

Remember that head lice will attack anyone; even the cleanest family from the best of homes is not immune to an outbreak of lice. Having head lice is very common, as many as 12 million people get lice every year.

Girls are particularly susceptible, especially those with long hair. Diligence is required to rid your family of head lice, but it can be done without using harsh chemical treatments.

Can Lice Ice keep my children from getting lice again?

YES! Lice Ice can prevent head lice! To prevent and repel reinfestation, dilute Lice Ice gel 1:4 (1/2 cup Lice Ice to 2 cups water) and apply to hair and scalp as a spray or spritz. Lice Ice can also be used in place of styling gel.

Prevention Tips

Reinfestation is likely if you have not cleaned your living environment, including your car, or if your children come into contact with others who have head lice.
