Whether your child is going to sleep-away camp or day camp, they can be protected from head lice by following a few simple steps.
 
 Tips to Avoid Head Lice in Camp

*Wear Organic Fiji Coconut/Lavender
    Oil lice repellent in your hair daily.

*Wash hair 2 -3 times a week with                                                   Lice R Gone shampoo.
*In the shower, comb conditioner through your hair with the metal
   Licemeister comb, at least every other day.
*Keep your hair pulled back in a ponytail or braids.
*Don't share hair care items such as brushes, combs, clips,
   headbands, etc.

*Try to avoid laying your head on others people's beds or towels.
*Try to limit the hugging of your friends.
*Place all your clothes into the hamper - do not re-wear clothes.
   Bring
enough clothes to sleepaway camp to last until wash day.
*Bring a lint roller to camp.  Great to use on your pillow and
   bedding if there is a lice outbreak in camp.

  Head Lice Go On Vacation

School is almost over and summer vacation will soon be here.  Unfortunately, lice don't take vacations.  Well, that's not entirely true.  They go on vacation with other people and return on your family's heads!

There are steps you can take to stay lice free on vacation too!
 
Follow the advice as shown above in the tips for summer camp section.  Since your sheets will not be changed everyday, and you may not be able to bring enough clothes on vacation to wear something different everyday, a lint roller will be your best friend.  You can even use it to delouse your seats in the airplane! 
That, coupled with the daily use of our Coconut/Lavender repellent oil, combing with the Licemeister comb in the shower, and Lice R Gone shampoo 2-3 times a week, you can rest assured that the only things you will be returning from vacation with are great memories!

Contact The Lice Patrol... we will be happy to help you with your product needs.

Have a great summer!

Sincerely,
 
Barbara Gips
