As mothers first and foremost, we always suggest that while pregnant (particularly in the first three months), nothing should be used to treat head lice other than our Nitty Gritty NitFree Comb with olive oil. Natural and herbal remedies include tea tree oil and green-tea shampoo as well as over-the-counter products like Puressentiel and Nitty Gritty. And our much-loved Nitty Gritty Conditioning Defence Spray, which can be used on all members of the family above the age of two. It’s a carefully chosen blend of ingredients with a lovely grapefruit scent, that will not only keep those pesky lice at bay but keeps everyone’s hair fragranced, soft, shiny, de-tangled and in tip-top condition. During our manufacturing process, the NitFree's 33 MicroSpiral teeth are individually welded to the chassis of the comb, so as to make sure that the space between the teeth is accurate and precise. Cons There's little clinical research into efficacy of treatments, the potential side-effects aren't known and they can be strong-smelling

Our amazing, award-winning Nitty Gritty NitFree Comb is unlike any other product on the market, our unique micro-spiral comb is the only head lice product which removes not only the smallest head lice as well as the nits – the empty egg cases – but also, most importantly, it even removes the unhatched 'live' head louse eggs, which are the main cause of any ongoing infestation. If you still can't eradicate them, speak to your doctor or pharmacist about what to do next. What do head lice look like?

Here to help you

An old toothbrush or nail brush is useful for removing and cleaning the lice and eggs from the comb. Just make sure that nobody brushes their teeth with it afterwards! Another item which is very good for cleaning the comb is one of the little brushes that come with an electric razor. We believe it's the biggest advance in head lice treatments ever, and millions of 'NitFree' families in the UK wouldn't use anything else on their children's hair. Nitty Gritty Aromatherapy Head Lice Solution is a simple, no fuss solution to aid the detection and removal of head lice. It is made from a blend of essential oils, with no nasty ingredients! Chemical insecticides. These poison the lice or paralyse their nervous systems and various trials have shown they work. However, they can lead to louse resistance so shouldn't be used as a preventative measure - plus some smell horrible, like malathion (Derbac-M) which has a garlic aroma. This kit includes a nice big 250ml bottle of Nitty Gritty Conditioning Defence Spray and of course our fabulous award-winning Nitty Gritty NitFree Comb.

In our 2022 survey, two in five parents who used an alternative to traditional branded treatments chose herbal treatments and a nit comb. And 92% said our comb would be their first choice of treatment if their children suffered a head lice infestation in the future. Part rather than detangle hair. Part down the middle rather than attempting to detangle the entire head of hair and use lots of conditioner because these types of hair are highly absorbent. Some 69% of parents we surveyed in 2022 said they used a head lice solution, with medicated treatments from Boots, Superdrug, Full Marks, Hedrin, Nitwits and Lyclear all making the list.

Remember to ‘Spread the word, not the lice!....so pass this fantastic offer onto your friends, family and other mums at school. The more children who are nit free, the less likely your children are to be reinfested! We have trialled this ourselves and if you boil the comb for 1 minute it will be absolutely fine. After 2 minutes, the plastic on the handle was just starting to show signs of melting, so make sure you have a timer handy. Most people however, don't bother with the boiling as lice can't live for very long once off the human head.
