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.
