23.01.2022 Why are lice so hard to get rid of? An adult louse can be light brown or grey, is two-three millimeters long, and has a lifespan of about 30 days. An adult female can lay an average six eggs per day (up to ten) and does so as close to the scalp as possible to promote survival, securing the eggs to the hair shaft with a glue-like substance. Nits are the size of a pinhead, and appear whitish or yellow. It takes approximately eight to nine days for an egg to hatch, which is why ...getting rid of lice is rarely a quick fix. A nit hatches into a nymph, an immature louse, and as long as there is a blood supply, it develops into an adult in nine to 12 days. To get rid of an infestation, you must completely eliminate both the organisms and the eggs they lay, says Dr. Patrick. Otherwise, the remaining live lice will lay more eggs, and the eggs will hatch to produce more live lice. One of the reasons lice are such a headache to eradicate is that they are difficult to see, let alone identify. They crawl so fast and hide so quickly from light, they can be difficult to spot even when you know they're there. Moreover, when caregivers do spot something, they are often not sure what they’re looking at. In fact, researchers found that school nurses, teachers, and parents routinely misdiagnose and treat lice when they are viewing lint, dandruff, or residue from hair products. Nits are glued to the base of hair shafts so if suspected nits are easy to remove, they are likely not nits,

21.01.2022 Good evening everyone, Unfortunately here we are again with a severe case of lice. This is again the product of a child who has had no one in their life to help them with treatment and combing, this is what happens when a child is left and expected to deal with it on their own. I have seen infestations like this more times than I’d like to but this is the worst case ever in my 8 years of doing lice removal.... If you are struggling to stop this ever constant struggle, don’t be embarrassed to reach out to me as I’ve seen it all, nothing you come to me with can shock me. I am not here to judge, this is why I started my business, I am here to help. Thanks for listening Catherine

19.01.2022 Good morning, yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting a beautiful young lady who has suffered with lice for around 16 years. These before photos were taken after already combing for 2 hours. I am posting this here to show exactly how bad a lice infestation can get when left too long. I had one very happy client after we’d finished, she couldn’t believe after all these years they were actually gone. We still need to complete the follow up appointment but the after photos here... show how beautiful her hair is now. Not only are the lice a pain but when an infestation get this bad there is a high risk of infection from the bites as the bites turn in to really big sores. We managed to accomplish this with using zero chemicals, I use my very own all natural high quality products. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me. See more

18.01.2022 What exactly are lice? Lice are tiny, wingless parasites that feast on minuscule amounts of blood for survival. Since they can’t fly or even walk on the ground, these insects can only live off of a host for 24 to 48 hours. As its Latin name pediculus humanus capitis suggests, lice feed solely on the scalps of humans.

14.01.2022 Hi everyone, I’m happy to let you all know that I have now joined with a hairdresser, she has been a hairdresser for 30+yrs so now I can offer haircuts at follow up appointments. I am asked regularly if I can cut hair unfortunately I can not. A lot of families have not been able to go to a salon for haircuts for long periods of time because of lice, now you can get it all done in one place. If you’d like to take advantage of this service please let me know when making a booki...ng. Thanks Catherine See more

13.01.2022 Now available the fantastic nit free terminator comb. This comb is amazing, it’s the only one I will use as it’s so effective if used the correct way. It is virtually impossible to get rid of nits with expensive shampoos and toxic chemical treatments alone. The secret is to use a stainless steel nit comb to remove the live lice AND ALSO REMOVE THE NIT EGGS so they don't hatch and repeat the breeding cycle. But not all nit combs are created equal There is only one comb that will do this; the original and unique patented Nit Free Terminator comb which is the most effective and economical, chemical free solution to the horror of head lice in the world.

07.01.2022 What's wrong with insecticidal lice shampoos? Even though these treatments have been approved by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), and recommended by many pediatricians, you may be wary of the long-term repercussions of using a harsh insecticide-fortified shampoo. Research has linked pyrethrins and pyrethroids to elevated estrogen levels (which may pose a cancer risk), as well as to hyperactivity and other behavioral disorders in children. (Pyrethrins and pyrethroids are ...also commonly found in flea bombs, flea collars, and human and pet scabies medication.) To top it off, those insecticidal shampoos often don't even work anymore, because so many lice have also become resistant to pyrethrins and pyrethroids. Because head lice have become immune to the onslaught of chemicals used by the pharmaceutical companies, natural means of removal have filled the void,
