Head Lice Treatment Process

NitWitty employs a no-nonsense lice treatment process based on personal experience, medical literature and a thorough understanding of our insect foe. We do not recommend the use of pesticides or exotic oils, and we do not try to sell our customers unnecessary soaps, lotions or laundry detergents. We have done the research and practical implementation already, so you don’t have to make yourself into an overnight expert in order to properly treat your family.

Our treatment process is based on five key principles:

  • Use organic, non-toxic, food grade oils that have been clinically proven to immobilize lice and to help remove nits
  • Use the best combs and tools available with proper techniques, because it makes a very big difference (and trust us when we say we have tried them all)
  • Conduct a treatment regimen timed to maximally disrupt the life cycle of lice
  • Leave behind a complete tool kit and show parents how to examine and comb for lice on their own if they choose to
  • Walk families a thorough check-list of basic anti-louse house cleaning that is practical and do-able

Head Lice Treatment Products
Unlike some other people offering advice on lice treatment, our process never involves:

  • Using exotic oils (like tea tree oil, rosemary oil, etc.) that are far more likely to irritate the scalp, and that have never stood up to serious clinical scrutiny
  • Pushing unnecessary laundry additives, while countless studies have shown that the temperature of the wash is what matters
  • Selling nervous parents on repellent products that really do nothing

Head Lice Removal Technique
If you had nothing but olive oil, the right nit comb, and a good education in louse removal techniques, you would wipe out more head lice than a warehouse full of Rid shampoo and tea tree oil. Our goal at NitWitty is to give you all that and more.
