Our Nitty Gritty Conditioning Defence Spray doesn't just keep your hair in great condition, it also messes up their 'radar'; by masking your hair's unique aroma it encourages head lice to stay on their existing host rather than migrate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter you have used our award-winning Nitty Gritty NitFree Comb to clear an infestation, we recommend daily use of our Nitty Gritty Conditioning Defence Spray for all the family above the age of two. It's a carefully chosen blend of ingredients with a lovely grapefruit scent, that will not only keep those pesky lice at bay but keeps everyone's hair fragranced, soft, shiny, de-tangled, and in tip-top condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's an eco- and family-friendly 250ml atomiser spray that will last for ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHOW DOES IT WORK?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt works because their sense of smell is believed to play a part in the way that head lice detect the presence of a potential new host. We have chosen ingredients, in particular, Neem oil, which is known to be insect repellent and which lice just don't like. So because they don't like the smell of the new potential host who has been spritzed with Nitty Gritty Defence Spray, they stay put on their existing host. The distinction between our human natural aromas seems to be why some children, for example, can remain uninfested even when all of their brothers, sisters and parents have hundreds of the little monsters crawling all over them! As well as Neem oil, the other active ingredients are Tea Tree oil, which also has known insect repellent properties, Lavender oil and Grapefruit oil, which we use to neutralise the smell of the Neem Oil, which is not just unpleasant to lice, but to us humans as well. So we neutralise the odour of the Neem oil just enough for it not to be offensive to us, but enough to deter the lice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAqua, Polysorbate 20, Glycerin, Phenoxyethanol, PEG\/PPG-18\/18 Dimethicone, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin, Panthenol, Sodium Hydroxide, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Herb Oil, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Melia Azadirachta (Neem) Seed Oil, Limonene+, Linalool+, Citral+\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDirections\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse a nit removal treatment to clear your hair of any infestation.

Since traditional lice treatments kill adult lice using a pesticide-based neurotoxin, they have limited or no ability to kill yet undeveloped eggs (nits). This means a second treatment is part of the instructions, in order to kill lice as they hatch 7 10 days later, before an infestation can be ended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVamousse uses a different mode of action to kill lice and eggs both in the same application. The protective lipid layer of the adult lice is compromised by the advanced formulation to rapidly deliver the active ingredient to the louse, causing a rupture of the intestinal tract followed by dehydration. Eggs are similarly dehydrated, rendering them no longer viable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKills super lice\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eStudies have identified strains of head lice in some U.S. regions that have become increasingly resistant to pyrethrins and permethrin, the active pesticide ingredients in most over-the-counter head lice treatments. Super Lice do not look any different from regular lice. These lice have been called super lice since they are harder to kill with traditional pesticide-based products.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVamousse Lice Treatment is pesticide-free and relies on active ingredient Natrum Muriaticum (sodium chloride). Because its pesticide-free, Vamousse has no pesticide-resistance issues.
