Nix

• Buy Nix anti-lice creme rinse (over-the-counter) and follow package directions.
  • First, wash the hair with a regular shampoo and towel dry it before using the anti-lice creme. Do NOT use a conditioner or creme rinse after shampooing (Reason: interferes with NIX).
  • Pour 2 ounces (full bottle) of Nix into damp hair. People with long hair may need to use 2 bottles.
  • Work the creme into all the hair down to the roots.
  • If necessary, add a little warm water to work up a lather.
  • Nix is safe above 2 months old.
  • Leave the shampoo on for a full 10 minutes or it won't kill all the lice. Then rinse the hair thoroughly with water and dry it with a towel.  
  • Repeat the anti-lice shampoo in 1 week to kill any nits that survived.
