Nix Lice Treatment

Pros: Quickly kills the lice and it's eggs, easy to use
Cons: horribly strong smell

Thinking about Nix, is like thinking back to some of the more painful stages of my youth... Back when the obnoxious was just another part of growing up. Looking at my hair now, you wouldn't think that I would have ever had to deal with lice and even ...

Pros: Easy to use. Wonderful customer service.
Cons: Has a medicinal smell, expensive, did not work for us!

At the end of last school year my 12 yr. old, a 6th grader, came home with more his report card. Yes indeed! He brought a "gift" from another student.... HEADLICE!

Many of you are probably saying, " YUCK ", "EWWwww " etc. I agreed, HEADLICE...

Pros: Easy to use...and finally the answer to our nit nightmares!!!
Cons: A bit costly...but buy THIS KIND first. It'll save you $$ in the long run.

YUCK!!! I was astonished, and uninformed, the first time my son ever came home from school with head lice. I felt embarrassed because I always associated head lice with poor hygiene and was sure others felt the same way. So, now I was sickened by the...

Pros: Works great with no offending odors, comes highly recommended by friends and medical advisors
Cons: Can be costly if more than one application is required or more than one family member is infected

During the last week of Ellen's preschool I was on complete bedrest (pregnancy) rendering me unable to drive her to and from preschool. Ellen took the ECFE minivan to and from school during that week and was seated in a booster chair with and attached...

Pros: none
Cons: pesticide, expensive, doesn't work after SEVERAL repeated treatments!

The first time I used this product I had no idea it was a pesticide! Call me stupid and un-educated, but I assumed it was medicated or something. The thought of actually putting a poison pesticide on my childrens hair was so far from my mind I would have ...

Pros: Kills most eggs
Cons: Expensive

I think lice are the most disgusting creature on earth. Not only are they mis-associated with bad personal hygiene, they are also an embarrassing, unwelcome visitor who also like to mingle with your child's playmates and anyone else with a scalp and a...

Pros: Kills the lice.
Cons: OVER-PRICED, leaves hair rough unless you pay more for the cream rinse combo.

There it is…the telltale digging on the top of the head with a grubby little index finger. You kinda blow it off at first…just a case of needing a bath and shampooing of a little head. After all…little kids are notorious for NOT washing their hair...

Pros: Easy to use and doesn't dry out the hair
Cons: It's a bit pricey compared to Rid

My kids attend school in what would be considered a very clean suburban area. To my shock, I discovered that some of the kids in school have parents that don't bother to check their kids heads and send their kids to school with more insects in their...

Pros: Prevents them from returning for 14 days
Cons: Dries your hair out slightly!

I just have to say this really fast... I hate Lice Okay now I'm ready. Lice has been a frequent problem in my family between my mothers thick, curly , Black hair and my long brown hair. It has occurred about 3 times in my childhood. It once...

Pros: the combs are useful
Cons: not effective

We found the Nix treatment to be TOTALLY worthless.
The whole idea is that it will KILL the lice,correct?

Well,I'm all for natural alternatives,but the other day when I discovered lice in the house,I decided to rid ourselves of them and...

Pros: Removes the lice- nothing fancy here
Cons: Smells a bit funky

At the awful private school I was forced to attend from grades K-7 there was the worst lice epidemic I have ever heard of. I fell victim to it 3 times on different occasions. It wasn't because this product does not work. Yeah, so my hair is a bit...

Pros: kills lice if used correctly
Cons: contains insecticide, not recommended for infants

Unfortunately, Nix is a product I have had the
misfortune of becoming familiar with both at
my previous job working in a medical clinic and
at home.

The problem with Nix and other over the counter
headlice treatments is...

Pros: Works within one to two treatment
Cons: Lice are resistant and the product contains chemicals

Note: Since writing this review, my daughter was reinfested--or the Nix didn't do the trick, but I doubt that was the case. We next tried the mayo treatment and seemed to have better success. However, they still came back... We then used RID and did...

Pros: none
Cons: it is a pesticide

Aren't our children subjected to enough contaminants without putting a pesticide directly on their heads? They live with smog, harmful UV rays, a depleted ozone layer, over filled dumps, car exhaust fumes, regular germs, and them some disgusting little...
