WHAT ARE HEAD LICE:
Adult lice are about 3mm long, about the size of a sesame seed and they are a grey-white to black colour. You’ll also be happy to know they don’t have wings so they can fly or jump across from head to head, that’s a common myth that many people think can happen.
Head lice eggs or nits are brown or white empty shells attached to the hair. The NHS have some really good pictures of head lice and their eggs so if you’re still unsure please visit the following link: www.nhs.uk/conditions/head-li...
HEAD LICE SYMPTOMS:
The main symptoms are itchy scalp and also sometimes the sensation of something moving in your hair. But the only way to be sure someone has head lice is by finding live lice and you can do this by combing the hair with a special fine toothed comb we call this a detection comb and you can purchase it from any pharmacy or even online.
MEDICATED LOTION TREATMENT:
Firstly remember as soon you spot head lice you need begin treatment, secondly everyone in the house needs to get checked for head lice and treated on the same day, by doing this it’s going to give you the best chance of getting rid of them.
There are various products you can buy from the pharmacy which your pharmacist will recommend to you, generally speaking Dimeticone containing products do work well and studies have shown they have a high cure rate, it’s also odourless which is always a good thing.
Dimeticone works by creating a physical barrier around the head lice so resistance is unlikely to develop it’s also generally recommended to apply it again 7 days after the first treatment. But obviously follow the instructions that come with the product as every product is different and always speak to your pharmacist first to make sure you’re safe to use it.
Some products however are not recommended because they’re unlikely to work, for example, products containing permethrin, head lice repellents, electric combs for head lice and treatments containing tea tree oil and lavender oil.
WET COMBING:
If you do want to go down a more natural route then there is wet combing which if done right can be very effective. Before we learn how to do it you will need some shampoo, conditioner, a towel, a normal comb and a head lice removal comb you can get this from a pharmacy or online however please remember these are slightly different to a detection comb as they are generally stronger.
Please follow the instructions in the video. This process is very effective if done right now if you have short hair it takes about 10 minutes and if you have long hair, it takes about 20 to 30minutes. You will however have to repeat the wet combing technique a couple of times this is to break the lifecycle of head lice.
Perform wet combing on days 1, 5, 9 and 13 to catch any newly hatched head lice. And make sure to check everyone hair is free of lice on day 17.

Happy to help :)
I’ve had lice for sooo long and I’m so happy that you are helping everyone with everyday problems
Did that work?
@@zeenathrizwan8968 yes it did work but then i got infected again by my cousin
@@michaellapascual4808 think.. ur cousin reading this comment 😆😆
I cant go to school because I have lice
@@myquarter-life-crisis5691 awh I wanna change my whole self before school starts like losse weight, try glowing up, and take all my insecurities away cuz I used to get bullied and still might : (
Tea tree oil mixed in coconut oil works wonderfully. After few hours they start to leave your hair on their own. 😊 Need to leave it on for 24 hours and repeat again.
This doesn't work though... They never leave.
R u sure it will work because am gonna try ???
I have seen a video of someone trying this. I will share the link when I find it.
@@angelangel2466 you found it yet?
@@cousinandgames9999 Ikr
Thank you for posting this. It's a subject many feel shame about. There is no shame in getting it. Only shame when you do nothing to get rid of it!
Nothing will work except PERMITE CREAM..only one night treatment
@@kiranchawla8600 hi Kiran...r u totally sured about ur recommended cream???I Wana use for my 10 years daughter...

Love from India ❤
No matter what the condition is. Do not hesitate to speak to your pharmacist. Once again wonderful presentation 😇👌
Thanks Joseph, so nicely said like always my good sir :)
I have had head lice for SO long (5 months) and this helped so much!
You call that so long.. lol I've had it since beginning of 2nd grade.. now I'm in 8th.. I even went bald at 3rd grade, but didn't helped at all.. now my hair is at my waist and I still have head lice...
How?! 😳 I hope it’s gone now!
3:42
Thx
I have headlice and my scalp is flaking off and I have tried as kind of treatment yet no success, even after combing it's still flaking and peeling off and itches badly.
Thanks
Looking good mate. Love the jumper!
Thanks 👍One of my favourite also :)
You are giving me 'Klaus' vibes..
If you have lice and you don't know how to get rid of it let me give you a little story of mine.
My hair is super healthy and long and was beautiful but because of that I had lice 5 different times.
Ive went through a lot with it like bullying, embarrassed infront of tons of people, I felt just hopeless and super sad.
My mom told my god mother about my problem and my god mother said she knew a recipe and came to my house to help.
We did 3 treatments total and I had no lice. It was probably the most happiest day of my life.
I used to cry a ton because of this... Theres so much more I just can't even talk about it.
Here's the recipe:)
Get a cup or bowl pour in:
Vineger
Salt
Than Pour in 2 lemons.
Put it in the fridge for a few hours
Than let it out for a few minutes so its not super cold.
Pour it all on your hair (Also the vinegar can burn your neck a bit since it stings a bit and can be bothering, so wear a tower and make sure to wash it right after.)
Keep it in for about an hour or two.
Please wash your sheets and pillows and make sure to burn the combs with hot water.
And after wash your hair.
You'll see tons of the bugs falling the the bathtub or sink which is a good sign.
2 more treatments and you'll be good.
Please don't let it get bad how I let it..
I had to cut my hair and my hair was SUPER long and beautiful
I got it again in the summer I think and I couldn't handle the stress and pain it caused me so I cut my hair off.
Right now my hair that was close to my knees is now above shoulder length.
you didn’t mention the quantity please? plus same is the case with me, I once even went bald because of these but now after 3 years I have lots of them again & I just want to get rid of them ASAP.
thank you so much I’m gonna try this because I can’t deal with it anymore
@@payton742 Did it work?
@@sushi4109 I kinda gave up on this solution but I managed to get rid of it by using a lice comb to comb thru my hair in the shower and I refused to stop until I didn’t see anymore. If you want to get rid of it put lots of conditioner in your hair and brush very thoroughly thru it. Then after you brush your hair start combing thru ur scalp until you are sure it’s gone.
I know how you feel. I gave up with treatments was angry at myself for getting lice.
Thank you Abraham. Your video has been most helpful. 👌
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for making this channel. It's so helpful and I'm so glad I found it. I also have a question.
Are these techniques as effective on afro hair?
imagine having you as a friend, brother ,boyfriend ... always knows answer to everything . Mr google 😂
😂Thanks for commenting Lucy this made me laugh. Promise you I don't know the answer to everything 😂
🤣
@@AbrahamThePharmacist hi big fan
My boyfriend scolds me because i have lice.....
I haven't found any way to get rid of them.....
Thanks a lot Abraham, this was really helpful. It might've been a bit late though, because we had to shave my sisters hair due to this. But she's free from lice and nits now :)
Glad it was helpful and thanks for commenting :)
I don't understand why people shave their head when they get head lice you can still get head lice once your hair grows back especially if you're around people who have it..my family always tries to tell me to shave my kid's head so that would be pointless because they're just going to get it back I'm not just going to keep shaving their head. I've also tried everything absolutely everything for the last 12 years and nothing works.
@@pinkpepper89 I agree with you, but as of now, no lice infestation yet. Hopefully it stays the same... Until the schools are reopened.
@@pinkpepper89 wait you can have lice for years?! How do you know if you do though?!
What technique u used the wet hair with conditioner or the medicine that he recommended??
Can u plz explain what enteric coated,sustained release, modified release,HCL,besylate,HBr,IP,USP& BP all those terms used before or after name of medication mean???
Nice comment of course I can. Added to the list for a future responding to comments video :)
Don’t many conditioners also already contain dimethicone? If so are they strong enough in concentration to be effective?
This is awesome.Thankyou very much:)
Glad my tips helped! 😊
i’ve gotten lice before and i can’t get rid of it because i get rid of it wash everything and then my friends give it back to me and i’m to scared to tell them i have it cause it’s embarrassing so i just keep getting it back.
Same so I’m finding what to do rn
Same I dont even tell my friends that I have it because they might get grossed out and spread rumors
Make new friends
Maybe start to keep away for a while. And if you get it from them, they maybe need to know. But be kind and private about it, so no one is embarrassed. But, fyi, nothing to be ashamed of. It's a fairly common thing that kids have been getting for probably centuries.
Some I’m finding a way to get rid of it
Amazing as always.
Thanks again! Sending awesome vibes :)
Mmmm
@@AbrahamThePharmacist Qq
Hey Abraham!
I was literally terrified when I got to know that I've got lice ...... I tried every remedy..... medication....but it just didn't work...... I was in panic mode when came across your video. I tried your wet combing technique by using conditioner... and wow! It really worked well 🎉 this was my first time and I got rid of many of those little creatures.... I will continue the process and will surely get rid of all of them. After this, I decided that I WILL comment you for being so helpful 🙂
Thankyou soooo much ❤
It really helped 😊😊😊
So glad I could help and sending awesome vibes
I have had lice for 2 weeks last month, and i got curious.. if the lice stays on the hair for a while, does it effect this process?
Hi sir , i have acne black spots on my face , my acne is not so worst or not good it is in medium condition, so i want to use accutane 10 mg perday and how many months to clear my acne black spots
Hi AbrahamThePharmacist! My name is Tentsie Allen. What kind hair shampoo for to get rid of lice?
Do you have any other tips? The web combing hair has never worked for me. My hair is EXTREMELY thin so the comb doesn't even get through, even if it does, my hair just come in my hand like a waterfall.. 😭
Straightener. Girl Iron your hair. Put 5-6 drops of tea tree oil in your shampoo bottle and conditioner bottle and shake it up in there. There wash and dry your bed sheets, covers, ECT in a dryer on high heat.
Ya know what's hilarious? My 7 yr old daughter(USA) just got head lice one week ago from "hat day" at school... the doctors prescribed PYMETHERIN 5% CREAM and we had to keep it on our heads for 12 hrs..... well guess what is BACK... I think I'm going to listen to the Brits on this one!! Thanks for the help!!
What if i use oil instead of conditioner
Where can you get the comb from?
Back to school season!!!
Sure is :) Socially distant schooling - Sending awesome vibes :)
Why permethrin isn't effective? And what about deltamethrin?
This is really helpful
Glad I could help
Doe ivermite cause hairfall?
Very cool. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
thanks for the video !!!
Thanks for commenting!
Very helpful thank you! One question: do we need to clean all bedding/jackets/towel etcs? Or just do the wet hair combing technique?
You must clean all items used by the infested person or people
And have the decency to tell others your child has come into contact with! My daughter has a friend at school who is covered by lice! And this girl's mother knows, and still won't treat her hair!! I know it's not the child's fault, but this is NOT fair to my child and family!
Aww, that's sad. Maybe you can have the friend over and comb her hair. I've done that for other kids.
They were so badly infected you could literally see the lice running through without even looking through the hair. It was so sad. I knew they'd get infected again at home but I just wanted to bring some relief to them.
I’m getting constant sleep paralysis and I can’t stop what do I do
use a strong toothpaste on the hear then after combing the hair...
use put a comb in hot hot water in the sink drain...
dont use a dry towel
I had head lice in my hair from 3 years. Wanted to shave my head. But I decided to cut my hair short but nothing work. I hope your method works
I hope so too!
I had lice when I was six now I’m 13 and I have it again😭 so ima watch dis lol
But would if you wait like a week before actually knowing u have lice?
Thank you soo much!
You're very welcome
Sir actually I'm using allergy medicine is it good to use permithrin medicine for head lice
Permethrin medicine is safe and effective when used as directed. It kills live lice but not unhatched eggs.
Thank you soooo much!!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
I especially appreciated the wet combing technique with the little girl.
Glad it was helpful!
@@AbrahamThePharmacist I have hair lice on my dread please how do I get it off
Kindly will you make a video about dandruff in moustaches its actually i thought seborrheic dermatitis and person feels itching there and see white scales something that thing may be dandruff ... kindly make video about its treatment ... thanks

So im stuck between shave it or just die
Same my mother was actually the first person in my family that got lice, now I got lice... my parents are buying a headlice removal comb and special shampoo but I wanna die as well... I'm too embarrassed to tell my friends and I feel awful. How is it going for you now? :[
@@nightstar7942 i am free from the lice
And it only took a week, i dyed my hair (it hurt a lot) but i bleached n just combed my hair everyday and washed my hair daily and it worked!
No need for a lice removal or so, just comb ir and done
Its gone
@@iamdepressed4550 omg I'm so happy for you! You got rid of it fast. I don't wanna bleach my hair but I will brush it 3 times a day now. Thank you for sharing your experience it gives me hope to get rid of it quickly.

Nice video. I am also a pharmacist. Wish to b a pharmacist like u....
Thanks for commenting Iqra, sending awesome vibes 😀
What will i do when they just wont leave my hair, i have tried everything for so long and they just Come back when i finally get rid of them im so tired of them
Wash all of your sheets, pillow cases, blankets, comforter, all of that stuff. And if you’ve been around anyone while you’ve had the lice ask them to check there hair and then check yours. Most of the time the lice in your hair is gone but not the lice you’ve probably left behind. And after you know for sure that your lice is gone, brush your hair with the lice come for about a week after, just to be extra certain that your lice is gone
Its ok I have lice too but I'm gonna get rid of them
Color ur hair
im a grown man & i think i have lice. it feels like bugs are crawling on my scalp at night. i am clean, shower every day. so im surprised. i have no contact w/little kids. i do have long hair which tend to be damp & like to wear hoodies. can that cause lice?
I've had it since beginning of 2nd grade.. now I'm in 8th.. I even went bald at 3rd grade, but didn't helped at all.. now my hair is at my waist and I still have head lice...
I hope this works.....
Did it worked?
Thanks
We bought the whole head lice kit and bought olive oil shampoo and olive oil leave in conditioner
I don't have lice in my hair ,i have extra long and thick hairs which i am proud of .but my roommate she got them ,i found out today in washroom .what do i do .i am super scared .
Apply tara mira oil on hair leave for one hour then wash out using shampoo and conditioner. The smell of the oil kills the eggs and lice.
Don’t give up!! I had lice all the time as a kid because a girls parent was refusing to treat her kids hair. It was horrible but we just kept treating and treating even though I kept getting reinfected 😭
Keep combing, do it multiple times a week if you need to! Don’t give up.
Thanks for sharing!
thank you. it works
Glad I could hlep
Lice have gone but wat ant the ticks stuck on hair, they r stubborn
Or you can apply the tara mira oil on hair and leave it on until they leave your hair.
What is it called?
NEVER had head lice ever today when showing I pulled one out of my hair just one so I am going to get it figured out it scared me tho lol
Dude the same thing happened to me I saw my hair move then I picked up one of them by mistake
Please make video on " How to take care of your eyes and how to get rid of spectacles? " Sir , your all videos are really very nice and informative.🤩😍😊👍👌
Noted, thanks for commenting :)
@@AbrahamThePharmacist thanks for your wonderful reply sir 😊😊
Thank you soo mush
You're welcome!
You said that in Wet Combing Technique, you need to do it in Day 1, 5, 9, 13. Meaning that you don't have to do it every single day?
Its very difficult to use the comb in my curly hair. Ive tried head lice removal shampoos and etc alongside with the comb. I always comb with a conditioner, afterwards my head feels good however idk why but one day it has gotten worse. I hated it, ive had this problem for years.
imma just shave my head also I don't know how I got lice I would always be in my room 😃
when you've had lice for a while, there's a good chance your clothes and furniture are infested with dormant eggs. so you need to do a deep clean of your clothes and house along with the lice treatment
Also use a straightener and iron out your hair as close to the root as possible. Put some tea tree oil in your shampoo and conditioner. That will help as well.
I been getting crawling feeling all over my body and scalp . idk . I checked my kids and myself and I can’t find anything so I don’t know what causing the crawling feeling and stings.
Dunk your hair in a bowl of oil. Literally you want to drench the whole hair and scalp. Leave it on for hours. Then get a head live comb and starting combing in sections
What about nits
What's 5, 9, and 13. What's does that mean?
Thankyou ❤️❤️
You’re welcome 😊
Did it work
Nice video.
Many many thanks
I’ve been itching my head for weeks and I finally said to my mom “I think I have lice” and she said she thinks there’s nits so she went to the store to get lice stuff
Hope my video helps
The rest of my family is bald so should i still check??
What us dimethicone? A oil or shampoo?
It's a silicone used in nit treatments
Very informative
Glad it was helpful!
it saved my life
Glad I could help
No one to my knowledge has head lice except for me so how did I get it!!
I’ve had lice for over 5 years and I’m confused on how I never bothered to look this up😐
If you would’ve went bald 5 years ago your hair would’ve been grown back already and lice would’ve been long gone
@@SeeYouInHellMyLove the fact u think I’m lying is funny but no I’m not bald but my hair was falling out I just shaved my head and now I’m lice free🥰
So u lived with lice for 5 years ?🤣🤣
Do you have scabs
@@HerionfatherSayso that's really not nice to say how bout you had head like lice for 5 years
Hair spray for little ones at school is really good as a barrier also hair should be tied up 👍🏽
Thanks for commenting :)
And tea tree oil shampoo and conditioner. I have my daughter use it every other day, and our regular shampoo and conditioner on the other days.
Which hair spray
What are you talking about what produck?
Sir my daughter have alots of Lices from School and i cant even make her bold coz i tryed everything every Shempo every sprey for killing them expensive treatment but nothing work please can someone give me any good advise
How often should we do it?
I didn't really understood what "on day one 5 9 and 13" means 😟
think of day 1 as the first day you do treatment. then, day 3 will be 2 days after. day 5 will be 4 days after. for example, if you did the treatment on Monday, this is day 1. day 3 would be Wednesday, and day 5 would be Friday. hopefully i explained well
@@sodotta thankyou so much
Those tthis work i need to know i have lice
WHO U GONNA CALL? MYTH BUSTER!
😂This made me chuckle and brought back memories Fizzy, sending those awesome vibes :)
While watching this my hair got so itchy 😂😂
Mine too ha ah ba
Samee
Mine too..
You need a metal lice removal comb and use paper towels to wipe the comb to catch the lice and seal them in a ziplock bag because the conditioner doesn’t kill them and they will move again when they start to dry. Putting the paper towels and found lice and nits in a ziplock bag suffocating the lice. Be sure the bag is sealed. I know. Im a professional
