- Do not share hair accessories: rubber bands, headbands, brushes and combs.
- Do not share hats, coats, hoodies, sweatshirts, scarves, etc.
- Children should not hang coats next to each other, but rather put them in a backpack if cubbies are not available. Do not put coats in piles EVER!
- Head to head contact is the most common way head lice are passed. We recommend using lice prevention products. While not 100% full-proof, they can be effective in keeping lice away because of their high percentage of essential oils which have been proven effective in the battle against head lice. They also create a barrier on the hair which is also a deterrent. Clinical studies have been performed on head lice prevention products which have proven their effectiveness.
- Long hair should be kept in braids or ponytails. Boys should keep their hair short.
- Once a week, take a peek. You should conduct lice checks at home regularly by putting detangler in the hair and combing through with a Knock-Out Terminator lice comb and wiping on paper towel. You will be able to see nits or lice on the paper towel.
