Delice Solution for Head Lice & Nits, 50ml

Delice is a topical solution for head lice and nits, applied to the hair and scalp, left for the stated time, then rinsed and combed through. Head lice are extremely common in school-age children and have nothing to do with cleanliness, so there is no reason to treat it as anything other than a practical problem to sort out.

Two things decide whether treatment works. The first is combing, since a fine-tooth comb is what physically removes what the solution has loosened. The second is repeating the application after seven to ten days, because eggs that survive the first round hatch in that window. Skipping either step is the usual reason lice come back.

Benefits

• Combing is not an optional extra. It is the step that physically removes lice and eggs from the hair
• The second application after seven to ten days catches eggs that survived the first, which is why treatments fail without it
• Check every member of the household on the same day. Treating one person while another still has lice achieves nothing
• Head lice spread by head-to-head contact and have nothing to do with hygiene or dirty hair
• Wet combing with conditioner every few days afterwards is a good way to catch any return early

How to Use

• Read the leaflet in full, including the age guidance, before first use
• Apply to the hair and scalp, covering right down to the roots and behind the ears
• Leave for the time stated on the pack, then rinse thoroughly
• Comb the wet hair in sections with a fine-tooth nit comb, wiping the comb after each pass
• Repeat the whole process after 7 to 10 days
• Avoid the eyes and rinse with water if contact occurs. Do not use on broken or infected scalp skin
• Speak to a pharmacist or doctor if lice persist after two full treatments
