Wash

After a minimum of 60 minutes, rinse thoroughly and shampoo twice with your regular shampoo.

Place the used hair cap in a sealable plastic bag and discard.

While hair is still damp, gently brush or comb out tangles using your regular hairbrush or comb. The oil-based formula helps leave hair soft and manageable, making detangling easier. If needed, use a leave-in conditioner for detangling.

Nit Comb

Comb thoroughly with the nit comb.

While hair is still damp, divide it into larger manageable sections and work through one section at a time. Hair clips may be used to keep combed and uncombed hair separate.

Nits (eggs) attach firmly to the hair shaft, usually close to the scalp. Starting at the top of the head and working your way down, comb through 1–2 inch sections of hair at a time. Place the comb as close to the scalp as possible and comb firmly from root to tip.

Repeat in 7 days

Nits (eggs) can remain on the hair after the initial application and may later hatch. As LiceBomb® does not kill nits (eggs), repeat the treatment twice to help interrupt the lice life cycle.

Why Repeat Applications Matter

Head lice have a life cycle that makes repeat applications important. Nits (eggs) are attached firmly to the hair shaft and some may remain after the initial application and later hatch. Repeating LiceBomb® after 7 days, along with thorough nit combing, helps address newly hatched lice and interrupt the lice life cycle.
