# Head Lice

#### The prevention and treatment of head lice

**Detection**

Wash the hair using ordinary shampoo, followed by conditioner. With conditioner still on comb the hair. After ordinary combing use a fine tooth comb always combing from the roots to the ends of the hair with every stroke. Rinse the hair then repeat the combing procedure in the wet hair. Do this regularly.
