Licefreee Spray! Head Lice Treatment for Adults and Kids - Includes Professional Metal Nit and Lice Comb, 6 Fluid Ounce

I have to say I can't believe this stuff really works just like all the other reviews have said. Bought it 4 yrs ago when my oldest was in kinder and got these nasty critters; but it took 10 days to arrive in the mail and by then I was able to pick everything out. So I saved it....hoping I would never have to use it...4 years later in 4th grade she gets it again. Found them on Thursday; picked several out then remembered I had this stuff, sprayed it on but only used about half the bottle b/c I wanted to treat her younger sis just incase....I French braided her hair and we went up to bed. By the time we got to her room 2 adult lice were crawling on her forehead essentially trying to escape the spray! When she woke in the morning we found a dead one on her pillow. Only found 1 live one and several dead nymphs on her morning check before school. When she came home rechecked, found a few dead ones (looked really tiny, newly hatched nymphs) Was out of spray and did NOT want to wait so long to receive it in the mail. Google helped me realize they sell this stuff at the local "blank"Mart for 3 bucks cheaper than on here, so I ran there and bought the 3 remaining bottles. Used an ENTIRE bottle on her hair (she has thin hair down to middle of back) went strand by strand. When I got to the nape of the neck 5 live adult lice were escaping. I put them on a paper towel and sprayed the heck out of them with the spray. 3 died instantly. 2 very large GROSS ones seemed to not be effected at all. So I put them in a cup and poured the stuff on them and they died within a minute. Checked last night after shower, nothing. Checked this morning and nothing. Dare I say we got them all...but Im gonna keep checking and prob spray her and her sis again in a week just to be sure... plus I have the bottles on hand so I can. So I would say this stuff REALLY WORKS BUT you really have to use a ton and some adult lice seem resistant or slow to die, so I would still recommend picking thru the head really good strand by strand at least once or twice. If you miss just one nit or louse the entire process has to start all over again. I know it is time consuming, takes me 90 minutes per child, but if they are really gone in just 3 days then it is totally worth it! I can't believe her little sis hasn't gotten it. There is a lice outbreak in her kinder class and the ONLY thing we do differently with her than her big sis is apply Fairy Tales conditioning leave in spray every morning after I braid her hair. Her big sis didn't like the smell so she refused it and she was the one who ended up with lice (after a sleep over I believe is where she got it). Guess who is going to get the fairy tale spray everyday now too ;) (also purchased at local "blank"Mart for cheaper and faster than online. If you ever have to deal with this disgusting creepy problem I would not hesitate to try this stuff FIRST than applying those nasty smelling chemicals to your kids head...but don't be fooled into false sense of security thinking all you have to do is spray it and go..you really do still need to pick thru the head and remove ANYTHING at all that you see that shouldn't be there...dead or not. Good Luck! UPDATE: I have had to use this spray a total of 3 times on my kids this year! They kept getting lice from the same little girl whose parents were not treating her :( All 3 times we became LICE FREE after the 1st use! Easiest way I think there is to rid of lice! All my little ones friends also got it from the original culprit and I recommended LF to them as well before they poured all that nasty chemical junk that doesn't work on their kids heads and they were all amazed. Lice literally were running down my daughters shirt to get off her hair, I only picked out 3 from her head and then 12 newly hatched nymphs on her shirt! SO GROSS! Never found another one again. I wrote the school and told them about it and with parental consent they treated the original child who continued to spread lice up to over 10 people in the class (ridiculous if you ask me!) And after like 7 treatments, the little girl was finally lice free by the end of the school year. I read some low star reviews of people saying the stuff is too expensive, but honestly, nothing is too expensive if if gets rid of your kids head bugs!!!! You MUST go strand by strand and drench the hair, pick out anything you see that shouldn't be there, dead or alive just to be sure. For my girls with long hair I separate in 2 sections and do one at a time and then French braid the half that is done and drench it again; then work my way to the other side of the head and repeat. I don't even wait to see a louse anymore, when my girls tell my their heads itch "like it did when I had bugs in it momma" I just grab the spray and drench them. Since it is chemical free and doesn't smell that terrible, we just do it. I keep 3 bottles on hand, one for each daughter and 1 for a friend/neighbor just in case! I never thought in a million years we would have lice this many times in our home in the course of our elementary school life, but that is naïve to think that way; just use this stuff as directed and you can rest easy!

This is great works amazing. My granddaughter came home from kindergarten with lice and shared the little critters with her sisters in no time before we noticed. Tried other brands and lice eggs hatched and we had them again. Tried this brand sprayed their hair daily for about a week combing through and got rid of all those nasty little critters. Now I keep spray at hand and spray them the morning after washing their hair for prevention at school. It’s not stinky and it’s a spray which makes it very convenient for little ones since it’s quick . Highly recommend for both lice infestation and prevention.

LICEFREEE really does work!! I've tried other over the counter lice treatment but lice remained until I've tried licefree, it kills the lice. I would recommend that you apply to dry hair and scalp and repeat treatment until lice is completely gone. # it works 💪

My saga with head lice began in mid-April. My oldest daughter came home on a Friday afternoon with a note from school saying that one of the kids in her class had been sent home with lice. I put the note aside and didn't think much about it. I thought "My kids are clean; there's no way my child could have lice!" A little while later, my oldest daughter said that her head had been itching. She has horrible dry scalp, though, so I dismissed it as dry scalp. But when she told me she found a bug in her hair at school, I froze. I had no idea what to look for, so I Googled pictures of head lice. The moment I picked up the top layer of my daughter's hair to check, my heart sank; she was infested with lice. Her hair was absolutely covered in nits. And what was worse is that my daughter's hair is long, thick, and coarse. I checked my youngest daughter's head and found a few nits in hers as well. I immediately went into panic mode. I went to the store and bought kits for my daughters and myself. I also bought the stuff for the home remedies I read about online: olive oil, tea tree oil, mayo, Listerine... We spent the entire weekend treating our hair, combing, and washing and cleaning the house from top to bottom. We did everything we were supposed to, including bagging up the unwashables, vacuuming the furniture, etc. I rechecked their hair daily, combing out anything I found, and had my husband do the same for me. After 2 weeks, I was happy to find no more signs of head lice on either of my girls or myself. However, a month later, my daughter slept over at a friend's house and caught it again. Once again, we spent 3 days sanitizing everything in sight, as well as using more pesticides on our heads and combing til our scalps were raw. After 2 more weeks, I was sure we had gotten rid of it for good. Imagine my horror when one day 3 weeks ago I went to scratch an itch behind my ear and pulled a live bug off MY head. I checked my kids, and sure enough, both my girls had lice again as well. I went into HYSTERICS! How could it be back when we had done so much to get it gone before?! I was desperate; I had seen Licefreee before, but was convinced that a spray would never work to get rid of the nasty little boogers. However, I didn't want to keep putting chemicals on our heads, when it was obvious that they weren't working. I started asking around and reading reviews and decided to go for it; I bought three bottles of Licefreee and the Terminator Nit Comb, as recommended on Amazon by other customers, and prayed for the best. I started with my oldest, since she was the one who always seemed to have it the worst. I used an entire bottle on her head, since her hair is so long and thick. I was amazed at the wonderful smell, and she was happy that her head stopped itching almost immediately. After following the instructions on the Licefreee box carefully, I began to comb out my daughters' hair. I was absolutely amazed! The comb glided through their hair without pulling and after only 3 passes on each strand, everything was gone. I recombed and retreated just to be safe a week later, but found NOTHING. Two weeks out, still nothing. HALLELUJAH. I am so happy with Licefreee that I could dance in the street! I only wish I had used the product way earlier to save myself a lot of time and stress! Thank you so much, Licefreee!

One reason this homeopathic remedy is so effective is simple. The main "inactive" ingredient is Benzyl Alcohol, a substance approved by the FDA for use on lice. I pulled the following from the FDA website on lice: "Prescription Medications The following medications, in alphabetical order, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of head lice are available only by prescription. If crawling lice are still seen after a full course of treatment, contact your health care provider. Benzyl alcohol lotion, 5%; Brand name product: Ulesfia lotion* Benzyl alcohol is an aromatic alcohol. Benzyl alcohol lotion, 5% has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of head lice and is considered safe and effective when used as directed. It kills lice but it is not ovicidal. A second treatment is needed 7 days after the first treatment to kill any newly hatched lice before they can produce new eggs. Benzyl alcohol lotion is intended for use on persons who are 6 months of age and older and its safety in persons aged more 60 years has not been established. It can be irritating to the skin." I have a unfortunate allergy to Benzyl Alcohol so I was caught off guard by the hives I am currently suffering. I haven't encountered this ingredient in ten years (and previously only in injectable form, when I needed progesterone injections during pregnancy ten years ago. It is my only non-medication allergy, which is why it did not occur to me to read the label). After developing hives and severe itching about 10 hours after using this product on my hands, back, scalp, and anywhere my hair touched, I of course looked to the bottle to find the cause. Upon seeing a Benzyl Alcohol as the main inactive ingredient, I immediately realized my error, but also wondered the reason for its inclusion as an ingredient as it is so unusual to find this ingredient in an OTC item (believe me, I'd realize it if I encountered it before topically!). This is why I searched to see if Benzyl Alcohol was something used on its own to kill lice, and come to find out, yes it is. I'm surprised to see it listed as an "inactive" ingredient and I suspect it is a workaround so you don't need an RX. I do wish the inactive ingredients had been listed on amazon, as it would have been one more chance at saving me my current painful dilemma and doctor's visit today. I do take responsibility, though, as it's my job to read the label, active and inactive ingredients alike. I won't make this mistake again. Bottom line, though, if you are looking for a prescription strength medication to kill lice, this fits the bill. As far as its use as a treatment goes, I can't speak to its effectiveness as this was a follow up treatment for us--we hopefully had no live lice in our heads when we used it. This was treatment number 2 of 4 as I want to do some kind of "natural" treatment every 3-4 days for two weeks, each treatment followed by a comb out, as that is what helped us get rid of lice very definitively last time we had it. This time we caught it super early, and one treatment likely would have been enough, but lice are persistent, so I figure I should be, too. For our first treatment we used an enzymatic lice killing shampoo (happyheads), which was effective but more expensive. One final point-- we are a family of extremely thick hair, hanging maybe four inches below our shoulders, and I needed to use an entire bottle on just myself, and my daughter and son combined (she has hair similar to mine but in kid form and his is very thick but short) used 2/3 of a second bottle. I'm thinking it doesn't really save money over the enzymatic shampoo, as that lasted our family of four through all four treatments last time. One bottle of shampoo, $30 for the Happyheads® Bye-Bye Lice® Family Treatment Box Kit, would be the equivalent of six or seven bottles of this spray on. I'd recommend this spray on if you are a family with fine hair, crew cuts, etc, or looking for something a little easier than shampoo. It definitely needs to be washed out, though, especially on thick hair--it felt pretty awful once it started to dry. Good luck getting rid of your lice, and I hope this added info helps!

I bought this product months ago. I wanted to wait and see how well it worked before I posted my review. And I must say, this product performed far beyond what I hoped! A little back story... My daughter has seborrheic dermatitis. For those who don't know what that means (believe me, I wish I didn't) it is an advanced strain of scalp psoriasis. It causes severe itching and irritation from the slightest things. Scalp tenderness, and scaling which leads to hair loss. She can't use spray hair color for Halloween, that is how bad it is. Her doctor (who I won't name) said not to use this product at all. That it would react badly with her prescription shampoo. He said that we should just use her prescription shampoo with a mild conditioner and just comb out her hair every night. And use a spray on furniture, but not HER furniture. I accepted this diagnosis for 2 years. I made a new friend at work. She had been having the same problem. Her son has scalp psoriasis. Not severe. But still a lot of irritation from most products. Her son got lice. She reluctantly tried this product on a small part of her son's scalp. He had no discomfort. So she treated his whole scalp and had amazing results! She said the lice were running from his head! So I did the same thing. I tried it on a small part of my Daughter's head. She said it burned. But only for a moment. The infestation was pretty bad at that point. She had been scratching a lot. I watched as the lice in that area just stopped moving. I used the comb that came with the spray and combed out the area that I sprayed. I used a toothpick to push the lice off the comb onto a paper plate. THEY WERE NOT MOVING!!!!! Why was this exciting? Because after taking the Doctor's advice, all of the lice I combed off my Daughter's head were always STILL MOVING. Even after using the products that he recommended (again, I will not name name's) the lice were always STILL MOVING. My Daughter said that she wanted to go forward. So I sprayed her entire DRY head (the DRY part is important!). She had some burning, but for less than 2 minutes. And the lice were running from her head! Within an hour, her shirt had more lice on it than her head!! Now it did cause her to feel tightness in her scalp. The next day, I washed her hair with her prescription shampoo and used a mild conditioner. I used the Licefreee metal comb after to comb her hair out. And I checked every millimeter of her hair. NO LICE. DEAD EGGS. And her scalp was not irritated at all! I was so amazed by this product that I was actually crying. I can not even begin to express what it is like to have a child with a scalp disorder, and finding a product like this! As I said in the beginning, it has been months since I bought this product. Where we live, schools dont care about lice anymore. Parents are not required to keep their kids home if they have lice. So I wanted to see if this product would actually do what it said it would. And it did! I am actually tearing up writing this review! This product is amazing and I love them for what they offer!!!!

We tried everything, including extremely expensive in-person treatments, but it just kept coming back, we could not get it killed off for good. But then we found this product, and this product is THE solution. Soak your hair with it & it kills instantly. When you use the comb, you will be speechless at how much comes out. Solved the problem for good! It works!

I tried the Licefreee Lice Spray and the smell of the spray is not bad at all. It’s easy to use but it makes hair sticky. Main thing I didn’t like is the metal nit comb that comes with it. It feels uncomfortable to use and not very helpful. The spray works fine, but the comb could be better.

Kit was complete with every thing you need. Easy to apply. And it works!!!!.

-

After using the spray and doing the treatment, we still found live nits in hair so this product doesn’t work properly. It was waste of money for us.

Does what it says on box

Not that much effective, costly, delivery time is more than 2 weeks
