Does this kill any lice that the kid may already have in their hair? or simply for prevention?

I got this from a friend's recommendation after lice was suspected at school. It was sold out at the store she told me about so I ordted it. It was after using this shampoo that we found a dead lice that had fallen / combed out of our hair. Only saw one and it was dead. It was after seeing that, that I bought and treated scalp with Rid. I felt more comfortable doing that but I do think it killed that one (or more that we didn't find) that night. We like the way it smells and I feel like it is safe to use. The leave in spray conditioner is really good- helps detangle my daughter's hair well. Now we use for prevention. I like it too. Hope this helped you.

No, this is only used for prevention. I've seen some reviews where people say the lice were coming up to the top of the hair but it doesn't kill them. I've always used NIX - treat first time and repeat in 7 days regardless of whether you still see them or the nits. It's important to nit pick every day that week.

Everything I have read says that this isn't really for human consumption. It is also a powerful anti-microbial, and insecticide and fungicide. I suspect you shouldn't allow your child to consume it. I'm sure there are other remedies that are less dangerous.

yes - it is so mild that it's probably safe for a baby's hair (but I wouldn't recommend it-lol)

Not that I know of. I'm not even sure it kills fleas. I have 22 cats, and I gave them all one of these flea pills, with a high fat content meal. Did it kill the fleas for awhile? I'm not sure, but they have fleas again now. Of course it might work better if you just have one or two cat's in your house. I also gave a pill to one of my outside cat's and it worked on him. But mites? I don't think so.

It says it kills them. I haven't used it for them specifically but it works for everything I have used it on.

You have to use RID to get rid of the lice. You use the shampoo for after the lice is gone to prevent it from coming back. It has really worked for us for months. I love it and will keep using it on our children.

The Lice Guru came to my home, sprayed my daughters buttocks length hair, thick as wool, with water she mixed with conditioner. She was able to comb right through my daughters hair from bottom to top and pulled out a minimal amount of hair. Mostly when her hair would begin to dry.

Sorry, I remember those days. It is very effective on fleas. I don't know about lice. It was sufficiently effective on the fleas, that in your position I'd certainly give it a try.

I have purchased this product and it is completely safe. If you expect your child hair to be straight like a relaxer it will not be but it does relax the nature curl in your hair and gives it a long look and makes your hair shiny.

Absolutely! The fleas will run for cover, but can not escape. It's also kills head lice. I will never be without my Neem oil. I researched this oil for hours and believe me when I say stop wondering if it's a good product because I will swear by it!!!!!

I sure wish I saw this sooner! As a nurse who's dealt with this problem more than I've cared to in my career (& my gosh do I feel terrible for the families & cleanup!), my answer to this question is: YES you CAN absolutely use a fine tooth FLEA comb that's typically used for cats due to the closeness/fineness of the teeth of the comb. In fact, I think it is a MUCH better option than the combs that come with the kits, whether Rx or OTC. I just would NOT RECOMMEND A DOUBLE ROW comb to anyone using this for lice. I would advise instead that you use a SINGLE ROW comb with teeth as fine as possible. I also have lots of experience with these particular combs as I recently purchased 3 of them. What I've noticed is that depending on the way you angle the comb, it may be just the second row that catches the lice or fleas and either are VERY easily overlooked when caught between the two rows. I've had this happen with fleas where I'd thought I'd tapped out all the trapped fleas only to see one or two drop off from time to time because it was caught between rows. This also happened with a couple of chiggers (little orange burrowing mites). I'd recommend when using double row combs, that you use them in front of a good light source. So to sum it up, treatment for lice is already quite toxic and you want to make sure you get as MANY nits off of the hair as humanly possible the first time to prevent retreatment because in my opinion, repeated treatment is the real nightmare.

The company specifies that it not be used on kids as they have not studied the effects it has on their normal development. It's the American way, if a little is good a lot is better, and that doesn't apply in this case. You need very little to keep mosquitos and the like at bay. Being that they have no control over that, they recommend not using it on kids 10 and under.

I used Pine Sol and shutting off the central heat to kill bed bugs in an apartment that had moved over from next door. I wanted to use d-limonene but is was too expensive. It would work however selling products designed to kill living creatures is serious business and strictly regulated. Use at your own risk knowing that this is safer for your family then most pesticides that are sold and regulated. And for cleaning it's certainly safer than laundry bleach however one should were protective goggles when using any of cleaning product. Well, you can skip them for the baby shampoo.

We started using this in k-5 after our first case of lice. My daughter is now in the 4th grade and although we have gotten numerous letters since from the school informing us that lice is in her grade, she hasn't gotten it again (KNOCK ON WOOD!!!). I pretty much swear by this stuff!

I do not know if it kills lice, but it is amazing with fleas and other types of bugs...This is a really good product and I assume it will take care of lice. Good Luck!

It only kills the existing ones but it does not prevent them. I use it to kill the existing ones then I use talstar to prevent new ones

My daughter still got lice. I still use it. My daughter is super susceptible. I use coconut oil and tea tree oil with lavender oil as well.
