How often should I use lice prevention spray?

For effective lice prevention in Charleston, we recommend using a mint-based prevention spray every single morning before your child goes to school or daycare. Focus the spray on the nape of the neck, behind the ears, and even a light mist on their jackets or backpacks to create a scent barrier that repels lice throughout the day.

Does hairspray really help with lice prevention?

Yes! Hairspray is a great secondary tool for lice prevention. It helps by coating the hair shaft, making it more difficult for a louse to attach its eggs (nits). Additionally, keeping hair secured in braids or buns with hairspray reduces 'flyaways,' which are the primary way lice crawl from one head to another during close contact.

What is the best way to check for lice at home?

The most reliable method for lice prevention and detection is using a high-quality metal lice comb on damp hair. Focus on the areas behind the ears and the nape of the neck. If you find something suspicious and aren't sure, you can visit us at 318 Brighton Park Blvd. in Summerville for a professional head check to get immediate peace of mind.
