THE FACTS OF LICE
Please read all information before using Lice Treatment Creme Rinse.

How to use the creme rinse
I. Inspect
If you suspect head lice - check. Head lice may be hard to locate because they avoid light. Nits are easier to see.
II. Treat
III. Remove Lice/Nits
Treatment kills lice but does not remove the nits.
IV. Clean home and personal items
After using the creme rinse, it is very important to clean personal items and your home to prevent the spread of lice. Nits may live away from the human head for about 7-12 days. Lice may live away from the human head for about 1 day.
