Lice Ladies of the Jersey Shore

Licelifters of the Jersey Shore would like to help you keep lice out of your life!!!!



Be proactive to
start the school year!  Be sure to check
your children’s heads with a good metal comb for lice. Performing weekly head
checks throughout the school year are recommended.

If you find
even 1 nit, you need to…


  • Treat
         properly using safe and effective products (be wary of OTC products that
         contain pesticides, lice have grown resistant to the pesticides)

  • We
         recommend The LouseBuster™ treatment, a revolutionary
         way to desiccate nits so they will not hatch

  • We also
         recommend the products used in our service, The Nit Nanny® products. Check our
         website for retail stores or order by going to the products tab of this
         web site

  • Communicate
         with your community, car pools, play dates, school, teams, family and
         friends that you have lice


  • Relax!
         Lice are harmless, just a nuisance. They have been around a long time. You
         will get rid of them

  • Check
         clean dry hair in sunlight or bright indoor light

  • Inspect
         small sections of hair 1/4″ – 2″ from the scalp

  • Look for
         tiny unmovable teardrop shaped nits, varying from cream to brown, on hair
         shaft

  • If found
         treat properly and tell school,
         friends and family to check as well

  • How to do a
    Combing head check
    (This is the best way to check if you have a good metal nit comb)


  • Perform on
         damp or towel dried hair and make sure it is free of tangles

  • Section
         hair by clipping hair on top of the head leaving 3-4” of hair down in the
         back of the head at the nape of the neck

  • Start
         combing with the metal nit comb by very gently scraping the comb along the
         scalp and dragging the comb all the way to the end of the hair shaft-be
         sure to comb in 4 directions

  • Wipe the
         metal nit comb clean on a white paper towel after every few strokes of the
         comb

  • Inspect
         paper towel for nits or lice (If unsure what you are finding, click on Nit Support to learn how we can inspect it
         for you.)

  • If found
         treat properly and tell school, friends and family to check a few times
