Preventing head lice is not an easy task when you consider just how contagious this condition is. Tiny insects known as lice live on the scalp, and feed on small amounts of human blood. These insects lay tiny eggs called nits in the shaft of the hair. One of the best ways to prevent an infestation of head lice is early detection. Have your child checked out by a pediatrician if he has come into contact with a child who has head lice. If you detect insects or eggs, you need to treat them with medicated shampoo, and you need to wash all of the clothing your child has touched. It's always a good idea to use products recommended by schools and pediatricians, like the products from Hair Fairies. These products contain organic, all-natural ingredients that won't irritate the delicate skin on your child's scalp. A complete treatment plan includes shampooing the scalp to prevent nits, combing out lice and nits, and applying preventative oils or sprays. Hair Fairies products are sold online, and at their exclusive salons in Los Angeles and New York City. Hair Fairies is the only lice treatment product backed by a full-service salon. After you treat a lice infestation, there are a few things you can do to prevent exposure in the future. For one thing, you need to educate your child about how lice are spread. Tell your child to avoid head-to-head contact with other children, and avoid using brushes, combs, scarves, hats, towels and any personal items belonging to other students.
