Head Lice Don’t Take Summers Off!

/in /by

The days are getting longer, the temperatures are heating up and summer vacation is right around the corner. Everyone’s ready to take a break from the routine, and kids are looking forward to spending carefree days running around outdoors with their friends. The last thing on anyone’s mind is lice removal. But unfortunately, head lice don’t take a break for summer.

Even though kids are no longer around each other in school every day, cases of head lice tend to be more prevalent in the summer months. Kids go away to summer camp, have sleepovers more frequently and spend much more time in close contact with one another. Adding to that is the fact that head lice tend to thrive in summer’s warm and humid conditions. This all increases their chance of catching head lice.

We’ve put together a few tips to help you reduce the chances of having to deal with head lice removal this summer.

Avoid Head to Head Contact

Make sure your kids understand that the best way to prevent getting lice is to avoid head-to-head contact.

Be Prepared at Sleepovers and Camps.

Since head lice travel quickest by direct contact, sleepovers make it very easy for them to get passed around. The kids can take some simple precautions but still have fun.  Send them with their own pillows, PJs and hair care items.

Do Regular Checks for Head Lice.

Lice removal is easiest when the pesky bugs are caught early. It can save you a lot of time and hassle if you regularly check your child’s hair, especially when they return from sleepovers or camps. Use a fine-tooth comb to thoroughly go through your child’s hair to search for lice and nits. It’s easiest to spot lice in bright natural light, and a magnifying glass can be helpful.

If you do find that your child has head lice, stay calm and come up with a good treatment plan. Fresh Heads is a science and research-based lice treatment center that offers easy and effective treatment options. Trust us with your family’s lice removal needs, and you’ll be back to having summer fun before you know it!

Reasons to Go With a Head Lice Pro

/0 Comments/in /by

A dreaded outbreak of head lice brings with it the need to make an important decision about treatment.  When all is said and done, there are two choices for lice removal treatment: do it yourself or go with a professional like Fresh Heads Head Lice Treatment Center.  There are some very impressive reasons for choosing professional head lice removal treatment.

Many people are under the impression that the do-it-yourself route to treating head lice is the most cost-effective choice.  In most cases, this choice of head lice treatment is actually more expensive than the cost of using a professional service.  Over a three to six month period, a person with head lice may have to have five to seven lice removal treatments.  Over time, the cost of prescription, non-prescription, and home-remedy products, combs, laundry products, and home-cleaning products that are used for is extremely high.

Choosing the professionals at Fresh Head Head Lice Treatment Center for head lice removal treatment may be a little more expensive in the short-run, but in the long run, it proves to be less expensive than the multiple head lice removal treatments that are needed when you do it yourself.  Fresh Heads Head Lice Treatment Center professionals can get things under control quickly and effectively.  Our one-treatment complete head lice removal process can be done discreetly at our Treatment Center or in the privacy of your home.  And when we are finished, you are completely head-lice free.

Do-it-yourselfers usually rely on over-the-counter pesticide treatments that are becoming increasingly useless in the treatment of resistant head lice.  Over-the-counter products do not come with a professional grade nit comb.  They do not include adequate instructions on how to use the product and the comb.

Fresh Heads Head Lice Treatment Center uses non-toxic, pesticide-free products and treatments.  As such, head lice do not become resistant. Professional head lice removal companies have effective tools for treating head lice.  Most important to successful head lice treatment and prevention are the education that the professionals provide to their clients.  Fresh Heads Head Lice Treatment Center professionals know all there is to know about products, treatment methods, and the follow-up steps needed to prevent another outbreak.

When it comes right down to making that all-important decision about head lice removal treatment, the better choice is to choose the professional staff at Fresh Head Head Lice Treatment Center.  We are trained and knowledgeable.  It is our desire to provide you with a stress-reducing, cost-effective experience when we provide our thorough head lice removal treatment.  You’ll be glad you chose Fresh Heads!
