LICE TREATMENTS

Over 12 million children suffer from lice infestations each year. And because lice spread so easily, through close body contact or shared personal items such as clothing or hairbrushes, thousands of adults have to contend with this condition as well.

While lice infestations can be easy to detect, getting rid of the pests can be a bigger problem. Lice, and their eggs, must be destroyed in order to get rid of an infestation. Solutions purchased from a local store can require repeated treatments, and often involve picking through the affected areas with a comb, looking for (and removing) each individual louse one by one. Not only is this process time consuming and frustrating, oftentimes it doesn't work; if you miss just one, the lice will continue to spread - and finding their eggs, which hatch 7-10 days later, is almost impossible.

The top treatments we've reviewed greatly facilitate that effort. They kill the lice on contact - no more need for combing through and picking out the lice. And some of the treatments also can be mixed with your laundry to kill any lice that may be hiding within your clothes.

There are a number of features to consider when looking for an effective lice treatment. Some of these include:

•  Effectiveness.  How quickly does the product work? Does it require multiple treatments, or can you expect immediate relief?

•  Guarantee.  What kind of guarantee backs up the product?

•  Cost.  How expensive is the product, compared with its competition?

We hope you find this information valuable in selecting the right Lice treatment for you!

Licenex

 

LICENEX

 

5 stars

 

Cost:

$37.00 - Shampoo

 

5-star Top Rated Product for 2009

Licenex is a powerful, all-natural product that kills lice and their nits on contact. No more combing through hair picking out individual lice and washing with chemical shampoos. Licenex can even be used as a spray for your furniture, and mixed with your laundry for your clothes and bedding, to give you a whole-house solution.

Licenex is a hypoallergenic, pH balanced shampoo. It contains no artificial or synthetic chemicals, so you are exposed to no chemical risk. Although the product is strong in its application, it is gentle on the scalp.

Licenex works to attack lice and their eggs with special biological enzymes, which penetrate and break down their exoskeletons on contact. It then dissolves the "glue" that holds lice onto the hair, so they can be rinsed out. In this way, the lice are removed without needing to comb and pick them out one-by-one.

Licenex does not require an overnight application. We recommend you use the shampoo on repeated days, to be sure you've reached all the lice and their eggs. The product can also be mixed with your laundry in order to remove the lice that may be hiding in clothes and bedding, and used as a spray for your furniture. Because of these reasons, we recommend making use of the multiple-bottle discount plans - If you buy two bottles, you get a third one free; and if you buy 3 bottles you get two free. This is a safe way to ensure your house is free from infestation.

Licenex comes with a consumer-friendly 90-day money-back guarantee. Since the product works very fast, this is more than enough time for you to see the benefits you need.

Licenex is a strong formula that attacks lice and their eggs immediately, and yet is safe to use every day. With competitive pricing and a money-back guarantee, Licenex earns our highest rating.

 

 

Liceadex

 

LICEADEX

 

4 stars

 

Cost:

$24.95 - Shampoo plus Lice and Nit Removal Rinse

$9.95 - Spray

$94.95 - Family Pack

 

Liceadex, or DermaTech RX/Lice, is sold online by the Q Based Healthcare Company. The product is a safe, non-toxic shampoo sold for the removal and prevention of head lice and nits. The company boasts a 100% success rate with individuals using this product and offers a 30 day 100% money-back guarantee.

Q Based Healthcare states that Liceadex will work immediately and on contact. A one time use is usually all that is needed. Liceadex sells for $24.95 for a 4 oz bottle. Another option is the family pack, which consists of four 4 oz bottles. The cost for this option is $94.95. Another product sold is the Liceadex spray. This 8 oz. bottle sells for $9.95 and will rid your personal belongings of lice, such as hats, pillows, brushes and even the beloved stuffed animal. The company claims Liceadex spray will kill lice and nits instantly. Lastly, for those needing bulk quantities of the product, Liceadex can be purchased by the gallon for $267.95.

The Liceadex website is simple and visually appealing with soft green and blue colors. Some nice extras include a question and answer section regarding head lice, the different types of lice, lice treatments, information on pets and lice, and dangerous pesticides found in some products among other topics. There are numerous pictures, which some customers might find very helpful.

Liceadex is an effective product that comes in a variety of options. It is safe and non-toxic, with an appealing and informative website. Liceadex earns high marks in our review.

 

 

Naughty Nits

 

NAUGHTY NITS

 

3 stars

 

Cost:

$39.95 - Shampoo

$39.95 - Hair Oil

$39.95 - Spritzer

 

Naughty Nits is one of over 100 products sold by Natural Remedies. As the name suggests Natural Remedies sells homeopathic herbal treatments. The web site is visually confusing, with almost too much information being offered in a variety of colors and different fonts. If you know exactly what product you are looking for, then the website is easier to navigate through. With the variety of products offered, the site is better suited for individuals who embrace alternative medicines.

Naughty Nits offers 3 products in their line. A foam shampoo (50g tube), oil (60ml bottle) and spritzer (100ml bottle). Directions for use are to shampoo the hair and leave on for 5 minutes, then repeat. The oil is used next; it is applied to the wet hair and left on overnight. In the morning, this can be washed out with shampoo. The oil acts to loosen current nits and prevent future re-infestation. The Naughty Nits spritzer is used as a follow up to prevent re-occurrence or prevention of head lice if there is an epidemic in your area.

All three products - the shampoo, the oil and the spritzer - contain lavender and rosemary. One interesting feature of the website is the detailed information available on the history and treatment of these herbs.

The Naughty Nits products are offered a la carte or as a package deal. If ordering all three products the cost is $79.90, plus shipping. The shampoo alone costs $39.95, the hair oil $39.95 and the spritzer $39.95. The company does offer a 1 year money back guarantee for orders under $200.00. For orders over $200.00 a 25% re-stocking fee is applied. Shipping charges are standard.

While Naughty Nits may be an effective product, and has a comforting return policy, it is considerably more expensive than our top-rated products.

 

 

Heal Head Lice

 

HEAL HEAD LICE

 

2 stars

 

Cost:

$69.95 - Hair oil

 

Heal Head Lice is a natural oil sold online by the Healing Natural Oils company. Heal Head Lice is organic and free of pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers. It is 100% natural essential oil used from plants. The website is simple and easy to use, and includes a question-and-answer section regarding the nature of head lice and removal of lice and nits.

While the Healing Natural Oils Company sells a variety of oils for body, hair and skin, there is only one product for head lice, Heal Head Lice. This oil comes in a 33ml bottle that sells for $69.95. The company states that one bottle is sufficient for one person. Directions are vague, simply stating to put a few drops of Heal Head Lice on the scalp and to repeat every 3 days until the lice and eggs are gone. The company offers a 60 day money back guarantee.

Unfortunately, Heal Head Lice falls short compared with the top-rated products in our review. It requires multiple applications to achieve the same results; it does not offer protection for the prevention of head lice and nits; and the product is far more expensive than its competition. The bottom line is there are better products available that offer a more complete, affordable package.
