The Potting Shed

We get them fairly frequently, as there are 2 or 3 families at school that do not check Twisted Evil

This is the best comb on the market, and believe me with 3 children we have tried most.

We do a wash with tea tree shampoo, then rub in tea tree conditioner and leave in, then comb. This can take an hour if necessary. Keep going, wiping th ecomb each time on a tissue. Every now and then dip the comb in a bowl of boiling water. Only stop when no more live nits come out.

At first do it 2 or 3 times a day, as every time you comb you break eggs too, which need to be damaged.

I have thick curly hair, and mine takes ages to do.
