Once you are lice free, we want to keep it that way! So here a a few things you can do to prevent lice. 

​

1. Keep your child's hair pulled back into a bun or braid when going out of the house for several weeks after treatment. Lice primarily spread from head to head contact.

​

2. After pulling your child's hair back into a bun, spray their hair with a natural spray containing essential oils that are known to repel lice. There are many options available for purchase or make your own. 

​

Lice Repelling Essential Oils

1.  Rosemary

2. Tea Tree Oil

3. Eucalyptus

4. Lavender

​

3. Be a friend, tell a friend. If you find lice, it is VERY important you tell those that have had close contact with your child/children so they can get rid of lice too and ensure your child/children will not become reinfected. Also alert your classroom or school if necessary. 

​

4. Don't share brushes or hats with other children and ensure all brushes have been properly boiled before use after treatment. 

​

5. Make sure to follow our cleaning checklist to ensure all lice have been removed from home.
