School is here and its THAT time of year again... let's face it, kids will be kids, and little girls like to hug... those little critters spread like...well, lice.
So, here's the most obvious sign to watch for:
Scratching behind the ears and neck area (these are the "hot spots")
Cleanliness is NOT the issue here. (like some might think) The issue is being around other kids that have been exposed.
Here's what you have to do:
watch your kids and explain to them that sharing brushes, combs, barrettes, etc, is not good; perform frequent checks... little girls are more likely to get lice--they typically have longer hair (easier to hide), and they generate more heat (lice LOVE heat).
RID is one brand... there are others that are available over the counter. Follow the directions on the package and wash all of the clothing they have come into contact with... including bedding, & stuffed animals... it is also advisable to treat everyone in the house (including yourself!).
Note: We at the salon CANNOT treat anyone with lice...infact, by law, we must close our doors and disinfect ourselves and our stations & tools immediately as soon as we find one louse or nit (egg).
