How Do You Keep Lice From Coming Back?

Lice Lifters Of Mercer County » Blog » How Do You Keep Lice From Coming Back?

  • August 15, 2019
  • Lice Lifters

Parents dread finding out that any kid of theirs has head lice. Even though they’re not dangerous, they are an annoyance that anyone would try to help their kids avoid. Kids will be kids, though, so the occasional case of head lice is sometimes unavoidable. They spread by crawling from one head to another, and kids always seem to contact each other. Another issue is making sure after they’ve been treated that head lice do not return.

Did Lice Come Back, or Did They Never Really Go?

Keeping lice from coming back might seem to be a separate question from how you treat them first, but these two things might be related. In many instances, what parents mistake for their kids picking up a new lice infestation again is actually they never really have gotten rid of them in the first place.

Lice are sesame-seed-sized parasitic insects that live off the blood under the human scalp. They are small and hard to spot on the hair or scalp without adequate light. Their nits, or eggs, are even smaller and are normally found near the base of hair follicles, where they’re attached with a sticky substance by a female louse. It takes about 7 to 10 days for a nit to hatch, and this amount of time again for these to grow into adult lice that can lay eggs. The problem with treating head lice is that if even a couple of lice or nits are missed, the infestation will start to recur again in about a week or so as new or missed nits hatch.

Ensuring You Have an Effective Treatment

When their kids get a lice infestation, most parents will search for the best way to get rid of head lice. Ideally, this would be a safe method, which rules out some over-the-counter or prescription products that use toxic pesticides. It should also be effective, which rules out most home remedies since few, if any, of them have been proven effective. The effectiveness criterion can also rule out many over-the-counter products since most lice are immune to their toxic ingredients.

For effective lice treatment, you need to make sure you kill all the live lice activity and remove all the nits. This is very hard to do since they are small and have evolved to blend in with our hair and scalp. It can take a trained eye to be sure the job is done right.

Seeking Professional Lice Removal Help

To spare yourself the frustration of trying to get rid of lice on your own, you should consider going to a lice removal salon. You will find lice treatment clinics that specialize in solving this problem for parents struggling with these pests in most areas.

Best center to visit. Sabrina was very helpful patient, provided so much information.
Clara Calogera
Best place to go for lice, their treatment is one of the best, very friendly and very professional.
Ashley Lamenta
We were able to get in immediately, same day. They were so kind towards my young child, she was completely comfortable and that made her very cooperative with the process. We were provided with information on how to help prevent any futire issues and I would HIGHLY recommend going here if you have any lice exposure. They were honest and upfront about pricing and because they didn’t see any lice, they didn’t recommend further treatment which was so refreshing to know they weren’t taking advantage of us and doing anything unnecessary
Lisa Muscato
This was a lifesaver!! We thought we could treat this at home, but my kid had a bad case and we needed professional help. Jen and her team were incredibly professional and helpful. Highly recommend!!

Jenn basically saved my family. After 10 days of dealing with lice, I googled how to get rid of lice and this place popped up. I called her and she explained the whole process and worked with my schedule to get us all in and treated the next day. Customer service is excellent.
Hannah Rizzo
I had an amazing experience at Lice Lifters! After discovering that my child had head lice, I was feeling really overwhelmed and unsure of how to handle the situation. I decided to call Lice Lifters, and I’m so glad I did. Rachael was incredibly friendly and professional, making both me and my child feel at ease right away. She took the time to explain the whole process, and it was clear they she knew exactly what she was doing.

The treatment was thorough and effective. Within no time, they had removed all the lice, and I left feeling so relieved. What really stood out was her focus on education — she gave me detailed instructions on how to prevent future infestations and recommended some great products. Plus, their clean, welcoming clinic made the entire experience as comfortable as possible.

I highly recommend Lice Lifters to anyone dealing with lice. The peace of mind they provide is absolutely worth it!

Lice lifters is THE BEST place! I have tried 2 kinds of otc treatments for my daughters hair, non of which worked. We came into lice lifters today on very short notice ( and it was Saturday) and they got her hair taken care of VERY thoroughly, a calendar with a treatment plan and preventative care. My mind is now at ease knowing that this company and the technician actually really do care about their clients! I felt comfortable while there, and left confident that my daughters lice problem is under control. Thank you so, so much! I will recommend to anyone who ever needs lice treatment! 10/10!

I called Lice Lifters in full panic mode on a Saturday morning and in less than an hour Michelle called me back, got my two daughters and I scheduled to come in an hour later, and by the end of the afternoon Cheyra had us all lice and nit free. 10/10 wonderful experience from start to finish. Cheyra was so kind and knowledgeable and made my girls and I so comfortable the whole time. I let her know it was a pleasure – but also I hope to never see her again! If I do come across lice again…this is exactly where I will be going.

I would rate my visit on a 1 to 10 scale 10 meaning the best # 10 Cheyra is a very sweet young lady and knows exactly what she’s doing.
Rachel Yassky
LiceLifters was a fabulous experience in every way – except for the very reason we were there!! The owner who was able to squeeze us in quickly on Saturday to the young woman who took care of my son and me. She was thorough, knowledgeable, and just super nice. Sorry if you need to go, but if you do — LiceLifters are the people to see!

My family was going an absolute nightmare with lice… my poor daughter went through so many over the counter treatments and for almost a year we could not get rid of them.she is so sensitive when it comes to pulling and combining her hair… every time we knew they were back she would just break down in tears…I couldn’t stand her going through that , let alone everything I had to do!!!! Lice lifters saved us.. my daughter can finally enjoy her summer .. and I’m thankful to be done with all the work it involves…we went to lemoyne.CHEYRA.THANKS
Katlyn Myers
Shay was amazing with my daughter and I. She kept us calm, answered all of our questions, explained everything in detail, and was so kind and understanding. This place is a life saver. Thank you!

Heidi Holtzapple
Great knowledge, technique, and caring people.
Koren Ripple
Professional and kind staff. I thought we were already clear of lice but wanted to be sure. They could have lied to me and said we needed treatment but they were honest and said we had done well. I would trust them to tell you the truth about what’s needed to take care of your specific case.

Kasey Perry
I came into the clinic yesterday due to frustration of not being able to completely get rid of the lice in my daughters hair. BOTH employees were extremely helpful and well educated on lice. Estelle worked strategically on both my hair, and my daughters hair and was extremely patient with my daughter. She also educated me the entire time of the ins and outs of lice and how to keep them away! I am beyond thankful for this place and the services that they offer! Did I mention how spotless this clinic was!?
