Anti-lice: natural tips to get rid of lice!

With the back-to-school season, lice are back again! No panic: lice are neither dirty nor dangerous for humans, they are just very annoying. So how can you get rid of them while avoiding the use of chemical insecticides? For a gentle anti-lice action, that respects your child’s health and the environment, here are some natural tips.

Natural tip no. 1: avoid insecticides

Most conventional anti-lice products, sold in stores, contain chemical insecticides. Beware of the consequences for your children’s hair! These products can irritate the scalp and cause allergies. They may also contain pesticides and are flammable. Finally, besides being expensive, they are not always 100% effective!

Natural tip no. 2: use essential oils

That’s why Hairborist created the purifying essential oil Plantapoux. With frequent use and meticulous brushing, your children’s hair regains shape and health. Directions for use:

→ Mix 10 drops of Plantapoux essential oil with 20 ml Repair or Renovator.
→ Apply on dry hair.
→ Leave on for 20 to 60 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
→ Repeat daily for one week to guarantee lasting results.
→ Afterwards: once a week.

Natural tip no. 3: eliminate nits with neutral henna

Do you know the properties of neutral henna? 100% natural, without coloring the hair. But a very effective natural remedy. The coating action of neutral henna forms a thin protective film around the hair fiber, preventing nits from attaching to the hair root. As a result, the hair is better protected from a new infestation for several months.
