Interventions

DEVICE

Elimax Green Lotion with Emogreen

STEP 1: Apply the lotion to dry hair, completely saturating hair and scalp. Use a towel to cover eyes and exposed skin areas. Massage from the roots to the tips, paying particular attention to the area behind the ears and the hairline at the back of the head. Leave the lotion in the hair for 10 minutes (no longer). In the case of long hair, pin the hair up away from the skin after application. STEP 2: Wash out by applying shampoo to the hair and rinsing thoroughly. Repeat if needed to fully rinse out the lotion. STEP 3: Comb to remove lice and nits. Part the hair into sections and comb one section at a time. Place the teeth of the comb as close as possible to the scalp and comb away from the scalp to the end of the hair. Use clips to pin back each section of combed hair. Clean the comb during use by wiping onto a tissue. Discard the tissue into a sealable bag. Discard the sealed bag. Check hair for the following 7 to 10 days. If lice or nits are present, repeat steps 1-3.
