How to quickly comb out nits: use vinegar
Before you start combing out cocoons, you must kill all adult lice, otherwise you will not be able to recover from head lice. A special shampoo is recommended here. And only when all the parasites are killed, you can start combing.
How to comb out nits? The scheme will be as follows:
- first you need to prepare a vinegar solution: combine vinegar essence and pure water in a 1: 1 ratio. If the composition turns out to be too strong, then you need to increase the volume of water;
- now you need to thoroughly wet your hair with the prepared solution. The vinegar will help dissolve the glue that holds the nits to the surface of the hair.
- wait noticeably 5 – 10 minutes. Then rinse your hair with clean water and apply a leave-in conditioner to the strands. Treat all hair without exception. This will make it easier to remove leftover nits as many will be washed away during the vinegar removal process;
- now you can start removing the eggs. Here you need a special metal comb with thin teeth that fit tightly enough to each other. You can buy it at any pharmacy;
- you have already removed some of the nits while washing your hair, but there are still many eggs left on your hair. How to comb out nits? Part a section of hair to match the width of the comb. Comb thoroughly so that not a single white cocoon remains on them;
- treat all hair in this way.
During the combing process, the comb must be constantly rinsed after cleansing each strand. Pour hot water into a bowl and add liquid soap to it.
After combing the strand of hair, dip the comb in soapy water, and then wipe it on a paper towel. This will help remove stuck lice and nits from the teeth.
After all the hair has been combed, the head must be treated with the vinegar solution again. Then rinse and inspect them again. If the eggs of the lice are found again, then combing out must be carried out again.
When you finish the procedure completely, rinse the comb in boiling water and boil the towel.
If done carefully, the parasites won’t bother you anymore.
