Don't Let Santa Bring Lice For Christmas

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. - Dec. 6, 2017 - PRLog -- After 5 years and over 20,000 people through the doors at my lice treatment salon,  we know for a fact that many, many kids and teens will get lice...the gift that keeps on giving over the Christmas break. On a slow day, in my salon, we will check 20 people for head lice. A week or two after Christmas break, we will see 30 or more people a day! The reason - lice is spread by head to head contact. The most likely person to give you lice..is someone you love - a best friend, sibling, or favorite cousin. Over Christmas, there are so many opportunities to be close with people you love. Lice to not jump or fly, you have to 'touch heads or hair' for lice to transfer.

Here are 3 easy tips to stay lice free:

1. Braid or Bun Everyone's Hair. Lice need a piece of loose hair to climb on to a head.

2. Don't Share Hair Brushes! If someone has an active infestation, it is easy to spread if someone shares their hair brushes. (Hint: color code brushes like a toothbrush).

3. Mist Hair With A Scented Hair Product. Hair spray, gel, mousse, even old school Aqua Net Scented Hair Spray. Repellent scents include: Coconut, lavender, tea tree, rosemary, peppermint, and others. (Use sparingly, don't repel people!)
