Lyclear Express Shampoo Treat & Protect 200ml

If a member of your family has a head lice infestation, or you just want to prevent an outbreak, there are a wide range of Lyclear products available to choose from, either with or without insecticides. Lyclear have over 18 years of expertise, and have developed products to meet the needs of all families. Our treatments are easy to identify – just look for the blue Lyclear logo. Before using a treatment, it’s important to check the hair of each family member thoroughly, preferably in daylight. Use an anti-lice comb to check dry hair for head lice and treat all those with head lice the same day, in order to avoid re-infestation.

Head Lice

• Mainly spread through direct head-to-head contact between people.
• Love schools. While playing children come into intense contact with each other. That is why children are affected by head lice more often than adults.
• Can also be transmitted via a scarf, a helmet or a brush.

You cannot become infested by eggs. Eggs do not move. Only head lice move.

Head lice are not new and have been around humans for centuries but this does not make them any more welcome! They are a common problem throughout the world and can easily spread if not treated when first detected. Thought to affect 1 in 3 children in the UK, head lice cannot be passed to or caught from animals and are highly contagious.
So how can you best safeguard yourself against head lice, and what can you do if you suspect that family member or even you may be playing host to unwelcome guests?

Spotting head lice

The main symptom of head lice is itching, but this is due to an allergic reaction rather than the lice biting. Everyone may not be allergic which can make an infection difficult to spot – other signs can include a rash on the neck. Spotting head lice themselves can be difficult because they are so small, even in the cases of very short hair. The best way is to use detection combine, either in a wet or dry method which you can read more about here.

Treatment

If you have found evidence of head lice, you have a few options to treat them but ensure that you are thorough as head lice can be quite resistant to certain chemicals. The best option is to use treatments that have a physical effect on the head lice instead of a chemical one, as the head lice cannot form a resistance to this. By using products such as Lyclear Spray, Lyclear Shampoo and Lyclear Sensitive, you will be able to make sure that all unwelcome guests are dealt with.
