Frequently asked questions & Answers

Is poor hygiene the reason for lice?Unfortunately, many people believe that lice are a sign of a lack of cleanliness.However, the lice don't care whether the hair is freshly washed or greasy.They spread through direct hair-to-hair contact.This happens regardless of the hygiene condition of the hair.However, the rumor means that those affected are ashamed of the fact that head lice have appeared in the family and do not report the infestation at all or report it too late.This allows the small parasites to spread even further.This means that the care facilities sometimes have to fight head lice for months.

Are metal combs the only effective combs against head lice?The decisive feature for the effectiveness of a lice comb is not primarily the material, but rather the shape and the close spacing of the teeth.When using a conventional comb to examine the hair or comb it out after treatment with a lice treatment, a reliable diagnosis cannot be made because its teeth are too far apart. In addition, even after a head lice infestation has been successfully treated, nits that are only the size of a grain of sand can still remain in the hair.However, this does not mean that there is a repeat infestation of lice, as they can also be from a previous infestation.They are then either empty or no longer infectious.The NYDA lice and nit comb has particularly narrow and long metal teeth that help you make a reliable diagnosis.Its angled shape also makes it easier to use.
