Vamousse Head Lice Treatment - 160ml

Vamousse Head Lice Treatment – 160 ml is a medically effective head lice solution designed to treat active infestations by eliminating both head lice and their eggs (nits) in a single treatment. This innovative mousse-format treatment is pesticide-free and works by disrupting the protective wax on lice and eggs, leading to complete eradication in approximately 15 minutes.

Ideal for busy families, the light, non-greasy mousse spreads easily through hair, ensuring thorough scalp and hair coverage. The pack typically includes a steel fine-toothed comb, making it easier to remove dead lice and nits after treatment. Vamousse is suitable for adults and children aged 2 years and older.

Key benefits:

• Kills head lice and eggs in one 15-minute treatment – no re-application required in most cases.

• Pesticide-free formula – lice are unable to develop resistance.

• Easy mousse application for thorough scalp coverage.

• Suitable for children aged 2 years and over and adults.

Directions for use:

1. Start with dry, untangled hair.
2. Shake the can well before application.
3. Separate hair into 3-4 sections using clips.
4. Hold the nozzle close to the scalp and apply a generous amount of mousse to the roots, paying special attention to behind the ears and nape of the neck.
5. Work the product down the hair shaft to ensure full saturation of hair and scalp.
6. Leave on for 15 minutes to effectively kill lice and eggs.
7. After treatment time, use the enclosed fine-toothed comb to remove dead lice and eggs (nits) from the hair.
8. Once combing is complete, shampoo and towel dry hair.

Note: Full saturation is essential for effectiveness. A second can may be required for very thick or long hair.
