Getting rid of lice has always been somewhat difficult.
There are tons of products available to make the job somewhat easier.
In this article we will discuss which type of head lice comb is best for removing lice and their nits.
For starters if you plan of using just a head lice comb alone to get rid of lice, you have your work cut out for.
It is always best to use a shampoo and other products that will help the comb slide easily through the hair by weakening the glue the nits attach themselves to on the hair shaft.
The comb you choose will determine how long and how much effort you must use in nit-picking.
When shopping for a head lice comb, you will see two types - plastic and metal.
Metal come with rigid teeth and thin slits, which will aid in removing and crushing lice eggs (nits).
With a plastic lice comb, the teeth will just slide over the nits and are not as efficient.
If the person has long hair, then the plastic works well in untangling the hair before using a metal comb.
Finding a good metal head lice comb is simple enough, as they are found in drugstores and in large supermarkets.
Years ago trying to find a good metal comb was somewhat difficult and one had to do a quite a bit of searching.
Because of popular demand manufacturers began making fine-tined metals combs available for the masses.
As the masses recognized that the best and sure weapon against lice is a fine-tined metal head lice comb.
There are two types of options that metal combs come in long-tined or short-tined.
If the sufferer has short hair, then you will use a short-tined version.
If one has long hair, then use the long-tined version.
With a quality metal comb, adequate lighting and time - you can easily or at least somewhat easily defeat the lice and nits.
Make sure you have a good light that allows flexibility as you move to different areas of the scalp - fluorescent lamps is always a excellent choice and tend not to give off a lot of heat.
To find a good head lice comb, you can go to your local drugstore or supermarket; and the major online retailer.
Amazon is also a great place to make a purchase as you can get discounted prices and consumer user reviews.
