What is head lice?

Head lice are tiny, wingless insects (yep, six legs and all) that make themselves at home in human hair and feed on the scalp. Not cute. There are three stages:

• Nits (the eggs)
• Nymphs (baby louse)
• Lice (the grown-up freeloaders)

They’re not a sign of poor hygiene - just a super common part of school life and daycare.

What is the head lice life cycle?

Once a nit hatches (usually in 7-10 days), the baby louse becomes an adult in just over a week. Each female adult can lay up to 5 eggs per day. That’s a whole lot of uninvited guests in a short amount of time, which is why quick treatment is key.

How do people catch head lice?

Mostly through head-to-head contact - think hugging, leaning in for pictures or playing hairdressers. Lice can also be spread by sharing hats, helmets, hairbrushes, towels or pillows.

What’s in the Head Lice & Eggs Destroyer Kit?

Everything you need (except the lice, thankfully!):

• Our Nick Off Nits Cream, made with natural oils to help stun lice and loosen nits.
• A cow-print shower cap (because... obviously) to let the cream work its magic.
• A fine-toothed comb to remove lice and eggs from the hair.

It’s easy to use, low-tox and actually works - no synthetic chemical nasties needed.

What does head lice look like?

• Nits: Tiny (about 1mm), yellow-white eggs stuck near the scalp.
• Nymphs: Slightly bigger (1.1-1.3mm), tan or white in colour and fast-moving baby lice.
• Adult lice: Around 2-3mm long and tan in colour. Females are usually bigger and better at egg-laying (unfortunately).

Can head lice jump?

Nope! They don’t jump, swim or fly. But they’re speedy little climbers and can scoot from strand to strand pretty quickly. And yes, they can hold their breath during a shower or swim, which is exceptionally rude.

Can head lice live on bedding and furniture?

Lice need human blood to survive. Away from the scalp, they usually die within 24-48 hours. No need for panic cleaning, a good vacuum of pillows, bedding, rugs, and car seats will do the trick. Skip the sprays too! They don’t work on lice and aren’t great for your indoor air.

What Ingredients do you avoid and why?

We skip the harsh stuff. No Pyrethrins, Piperonyl Butoxide or synthetic insecticides. No silicones like Dimethicone either, it coats the hair (leaving it limp) and doesn't break down in our waterways. Our formula uses natural oils and plant-based ingredients because we gentle can be effective!

Can I use the kit for head lice prevention?

Tempting, we know! But we only recommend using the kit when there’s a confirmed infestation. For regular lice-checks, use our Protein Shot Leave-In Conditioner and comb through. It’s a great way to keep an eye out (and makes detangling way easier too).

Do I have to treat everyone in the house?

Not unless they’ve got lice. Check each family member with a conditioner comb-through. If you spot even one louse or nit, it’s time to break out the kit for that person. No need to treat if they’re clear, just monitor closely.

Do I need to spray my furniture and bedding?

Head lice are parasites and require human blood to survive. They are not environmental pests so pesticidal sprays for furniture and bedding are unnecessary, not to mention more harm than good. Vacuuming is the safest and best way to remove lice or fallen hairs with attached nits from upholstered furniture, rugs, stuffed animals and cars.

Lice aren’t like cockroaches, so no. They don’t infest your couch or carpets as they require human blood to survive. A quick vacuum of the usual spots (bedding, soft toys, car seats) is all you need. They are not environmental pests so pesticidal sprays for furniture and bedding are unnecessary, not to mention do more harm than good.

How can I tell if the nits are dead or alive?

Unfortunately, you can’t tell just by looking. Some might be hatched, others might be duds, but the safest option is to remove every single one. That’s why a thorough comb-through is part of the plan. Missing just one can mean you’re back to square one in a few weeks.
