Licefreee Lice Spray for Kids Hair, Includes Professional Metal Nit & Lice Comb for Kids, Kills on Contact, 6 Fl Oz

This was my first time using Licefreee Spray, and I’m really impressed! The spray is easy to apply, and it worked quickly to eliminate lice. I was a bit worried at first, but after using it, everything was gone just as promised. It’s non-toxic, which gave me peace of mind, and it didn’t leave any mess behind. I’m definitely relieved and would recommend it to anyone dealing with lice for the first time or looking for a reliable solution.

I have to say I can't believe this stuff really works just like all the other reviews have said. Bought it 4 yrs ago when my oldest was in kinder and got these nasty critters; but it took 10 days to arrive in the mail and by then I was able to pick everything out. So I saved it....hoping I would never have to use it...4 years later in 4th grade she gets it again. Found them on Thursday; picked several out then remembered I had this stuff, sprayed it on but only used about half the bottle b/c I wanted to treat her younger sis just incase....I French braided her hair and we went up to bed. By the time we got to her room 2 adult lice were crawling on her forehead essentially trying to escape the spray! When she woke in the morning we found a dead one on her pillow.Only found 1 live one and several dead nymphs on her morning check before school. When she came home rechecked, found a few dead ones (looked really tiny, newly hatched nymphs) Was out of spray and did NOT want to wait so long to receive it in the mail. Google helped me realize they sell this stuff at the local "blank"Mart for 3 bucks cheaper than on here, so I ran there and bought the 3 remaining bottles. Used an ENTIRE bottle on her hair (she has thin hair down to middle of back) went strand by strand. When I got to the nape of the neck 5 live adult lice were escaping. I put them on a paper towel and sprayed the heck out of them with the spray. 3 died instantly. 2 very large GROSS ones seemed to not be effected at all. So I put them in a cup and poured the stuff on them and they died within a minute. Checked last night after shower, nothing. Checked this morning and nothing. Dare I say we got them all...but Im gonna keep checking and prob spray her and her sis again in a week just to be sure... plus I have the bottles on hand so I can.So I would say this stuff REALLY WORKS BUT you really have to use a ton and some adult lice seem resistant or slow to die, so I would still recommend picking thru the head really good strand by strand at least once or twice. If you miss just one nit or louse the entire process has to start all over again. I know it is time consuming, takes me 90 minutes per child, but if they are really gone in just 3 days then it is totally worth it!I can't believe her little sis hasn't gotten it. There is a lice outbreak in her kinder class and the ONLY thing we do differently with her than her big sis is apply Fairy Tales conditioning leave in spray every morning after I braid her hair. Her big sis didn't like the smell so she refused it and she was the one who ended up with lice (after a sleep over I believe is where she got it). Guess who is going to get the fairy tale spray everyday now too ;) (also purchased at local "blank"Mart for cheaper and faster than online.If you ever have to deal with this disgusting creepy problem I would not hesitate to try this stuff FIRST than applying those nasty smelling chemicals to your kids head...but don't be fooled into false sense of security thinking all you have to do is spray it and go..you really do still need to pick thru the head and remove ANYTHING at all that you see that shouldn't be there...dead or not. Good Luck!UPDATE: I have had to use this spray a total of 3 times on my kids this year! They kept getting lice from the same little girl whose parents were not treating her :( All 3 times we became LICE FREE after the 1st use! Easiest way I think there is to rid of lice! All my little ones friends also got it from the original culprit and I recommended LF to them as well before they poured all that nasty chemical junk that doesn't work on their kids heads and they were all amazed. Lice literally were running down my daughters shirt to get off her hair, I only picked out 3 from her head and then 12 newly hatched nymphs on her shirt! SO GROSS! Never found another one again. I wrote the school and told them about it and with parental consent they treated the original child who continued to spread lice up to over 10 people in the class (ridiculous if you ask me!) And after like 7 treatments, the little girl was finally lice free by the end of the school year. I read some low star reviews of people saying the stuff is too expensive, but honestly, nothing is too expensive if if gets rid of your kids head bugs!!!! You MUST go strand by strand and drench the hair, pick out anything you see that shouldn't be there, dead or alive just to be sure. For my girls with long hair I separate in 2 sections and do one at a time and then French braid the half that is done and drench it again; then work my way to the other side of the head and repeat. I don't even wait to see a louse anymore, when my girls tell my their heads itch "like it did when I had bugs in it momma" I just grab the spray and drench them. Since it is chemical free and doesn't smell that terrible, we just do it. I keep 3 bottles on hand, one for each daughter and 1 for a friend/neighbor just in case! I never thought in a million years we would have lice this many times in our home in the course of our elementary school life, but that is naïve to think that way; just use this stuff as directed and you can rest easy!

Both our daughters got lice from school...then my head started itching!! Yes, our family of four were harboring untold numbers of pests in our hair. Made my skin crawl first time I saw the moving bugs. Even writing this gives me the shivers! We used both the spray and the gel form of Licefree and were pleasantly surprised by the effectiveness and ease of application. The non-toxic formula wasn't too stinky and gave me peace of mind as well.Based on the ingredients, Licefree works as a desiccant, sucking water out of the lice until it dies. Since the desiccant is sodium chloride which is salt, it is non-toxic when used properly (don't let kids or pets lick too much of it and try not to get into eyes or it will sting). It also works as a suffocating agent, smothering the lice. Both mechanisms require full contact of lice and product, so it's important that you spend the time to systematically apply it to sections of hair in an organized fashion. Just randomly spraying or glopping it on like shampoo to rub it all over will create pockets of air that will make it less effective. This is true of every lice treatment available by the way. Treatment failures are often not failures of the product, but failures in the application process. (Note: There are more and more reports of lice resistance to pesticide based formulas- another reason to choose a non-pesticide based formula like Licefree.)I really don't believe anything kills nits unfortunately, even though many products make this claim. The nit shell is just very tough to penetrate. This is why the combing is an equally important step. The metal teeth of the included comb are of good quality. Unfortunately the effectiveness of any comb depends a lot on the thickness of the strands of hair. If the hair strands are very fine, the nit attached to a hair strand will slip through the teeth of even the best combs. On the other hand if the hair strand is very thick, combing will scrape off the nits, but will also shred the hair. Plastic combs are ineffective no matter what kind of hair because the plastic teeth are not stiff enough to scrape the cemented nit from a hair strand.So for our family of four with very different hair, the comb worked well for some of us. The most effective means was again, carefully and systematically searching through sections of hair for nits, then using finger nails to pinch and scrape them off. I now fully understand where the term "nit picking" comes from. (Too bad I found out after the fact that there are professionals for hire that will do this for you for a price- look online for what's available in your town.)Be sure to retreat with Licefree as if you had another infestation within 7-10 days of the initial treatment, so you kill all the newly hatched nits. One bottle of the spray was enough for our family of four for the initial treatment. We had to get another bottle for the second treatment one week later but I am happy to say we are lice free. SO happy... good luck!
