How Soon After Lice Treatment Can I Wash My Hair?

Finding out that you or your kids have lice can often be filled with uncertainty and stress. You may be wondering what the best way to get rid of lice is and looking for as many helpful tips as you can. 

Furthermore, washing your hair likely sounds like a soothing way to relieve all of the discomfort and irritation that comes along with lice. Unfortunately, if you are using an over the counter treatment for your lice, washing your hair after can cause the treatment to be even more ineffective than it already was. The good news is that our lice clinic in Milwaukee, WI offers a safe and entirely effective treatment that will have you lice-free and relieved in no time.

Potential Problems

In order to get rid of lice you may reach for OTC treatments, chemicals, or other products, but these are often ineffective. Many of these products only kill lice, but they do not kill the nits. This means you would have to be reapplying the product every 9 to 10 days. They also often come with negative side effects like a burning, itchy scalp. Washing your hair before or after the treatment can cause these products to be even less effective. For example, if you wash your hair within a few days after using these lice treatments, it can remove the lice medicine altogether and no lice will be killed.  

AirAlle Lice Treatment

If you want to avoid expensive lice treatments that are ineffective and contain harmful chemicals, then our AirAlle lice treatment is your solution. Instead of using harsh chemicals that do not actually remove all the lice in your hair, AirAlle uses heated air to kill both lice and nits through dehydration. Not only is this a much more effective way to ensure all the lice are gone, but it comes with no negative side effects. 

Unlike other lice treatments, AirAlle does not require you to wait to wash your hair after the treatment is over. The treatment only lasts 30-60 minutes and then you are free to wash your hair whenever you would like, and it will not impact the effectiveness of the treatment.
