Our Nitty Gritty Complete Nit Kit contains everything you need to banish head lice for good, without the need for any chemicals. Including our award-winning Nitty Gritty NitFree Comb, our Nitty Gritty Aromatherapy Head Lice Solution and our Nitty Gritty Conditioning Defence Spray.

Aromatherapy Head Lice Solution

 

Step 1- Apply our solution to the hair.

 

Our Nitty Gritty Aromatherapy Head Lice Solution is a simple, no fuss, natural solution to aid the detection and removal of head lice. It is 100% natural, made from a blend of essential oils, with no nasty ingredients! Our solution will not only allow our comb to glide effortlessly through even the thickest, curliest hair, but it also loosens the glue that sticks the eggs to the hair as well as immobilising the lice, making it difficult for them to move around the head as you are combing.

 

NitFree Comb

 

Step 2- Comb out head lice, nits and eggs with our Nitty Gritty NitFree Comb.

 

Our award-winning Nitty Gritty NitFree Comb is unlike any other product on the market, our innovative micro-spiral comb is the only product to not only remove the smallest head lice as well as the nits (the empty egg cases) but also, most importantly, it even removes the unhatched 'live' head louse eggs, which is the main cause of repeated infestations. One comb is all you need for an entire family and it will last you a lifetime! Once you are head lice free you can use it to do weekly head lice checks as part of your child's weekly hair care rountine!

Step 3 - Keep those pesky lice at bay with our Nitty Gritty Conditioning Defence Spray.

 

Lastly, once you have used our comb to clear all head lice and eggs our Nitty Gritty Conditioning Defence Spray will help keep those pesky lice from crawling back on to your little one’s heads. It's a carefully chosen blend of ingredients with a lovely grapefruit scent, that smells great to us, but not so great to head lice. It will not only keep the lice at bay but keeps everyone's hair beautifully fragranced, soft, shiny, de-tangled and in tip-top condition. So after you have cleared an infestation, we recommend daily use of our Nitty Gritty Conditioning Defence Spray. Simply spritz it on your child’s hair every morning before nursery, school or any other occasion where they will come into close contact with other children.

Our Nitty Gritty Comb comes with a Lifetime Guarantee! You can read more about our Lifetime Guarantee here.

Our comb is made from high quality stainless steel and will last a lifetime if it is properly taken care of.

It won't rust or tarnish if kept clean and dry after each use. Each comb will retain its tough, stylish appearance even after prolonged immersion in water and exposure to the different chemical products such as permethrin, decamethrin and dimethicone - found in many head lice treatments (although remember these chemical treatments are not necessary, you can simply use our comb with ordinary hair conditioner or our Aromatherapy Head Lice Solution).

How to care for your comb:

After each use it is important to wash your comb and dry it thoroughly. You can use an old toothbrush to clean your comb under a running tap to ensure nothing is left behind between the teeth.

It is perfectly fine to sterilize the comb in boiling water. As long as you dry it thoroughly afterwards.

We also suggest storing it in a little jewellery bag or plastic CD wallet or envelope, this will just protect the teeth and will help keep it good as new for years to come.

Why does it look like there is rust on the back of the handle?
 

Each of the 33 teeth are individually welded into the chassis of the handle and during this welding process it can cause some slight discolouration heat marks around the tiny perforation holes. This is not rust and will not affect the performance of your comb in any way.

An independent survey carried out by the highly-respected parenting website Mumsnet.com shows that the Nitty Gritty Comb isn’t just the best performing head lice product... it’s the most recommended too.
