MIND THE GAP
The 33 microgrooved teeth are separated from each other by a carefully-calculated gap, which is smaller than even the tiniest egg. Their extra length goes all the way through even the thickest, curliest locks, to remove more nits in fewer strokes. Long and fine, or short and curly, the NittyGritty NitFree Comb works in all hair types.
GROOVY!
Every one of the Nitty Gritty NitFree Comb's 33 teeth carries a spiral "microgroove". Look closely and you'll see they're shaped like tiny drill bits. Why? Because this makes it impossible for headlice and eggs caught by the comb to slip out and escape when they're trapped between two grooved steel teeth. The teeth of a conventional metal or plastic comb will bend around nits, rather than gripping and dragging them off the hair surface, but look at our comb under a microscope and you'll see the difference. The microgroove on each tooth works to pull a tiny spiral cutting edge through your hair, and the teeth are welded into the comb handle in a special process which keeps that vital microgroove working all the way through your hair. It is amazingly effective at breaking the hermetic sealing of the nits, to remove them without tearing or pulling your hair.
HOT TIPS
The end of each comb tooth is machined precisely into the shape of a cone. The cones separate the hair gently and direct each hair strand through the blades without snapping or tangling. The tip of the cone is then rounded, so there is no sharp point to prick, scratch or bruise the scalp. Small children and older family members we have asked both say that this is one of their favourite things about the NittyGritty NitFree comb.
STEEL APPEAL
The special stainless steel used to manufacture the comb won't rust or tarnish if kept dry after each use. Each comb retains its tough, stylish appearance even after prolonged immersion in water and exposure to the different chemical products such as permethrins, decamethrins and vinegar-found in many head lice treatments (although remember these chemical treatments are not necessary, you can simply use ordinary hair conditioner or our Aromatherapy Head Lice Treatment with our comb). It is perfectly fine to sterilize the comb in boiling water.
CAN YOU HANDLE IT?
Use the Nitty Gritty NitFree Comb anywhere - even in the bath or shower! There are no sharp corners or edges to poke or scratch you, and the comb's non-slip grips make it easy to use even when using with a slippery solution or conditioner. Plus it's comfy, which encourages users to comb deeper, more thoroughly and more often than they would with a regular-style "scratchy" nit comb. Unlike all other combs on the market, the Nitty Gritty NitFree Comb is built to last from top-quality stainless steel, carries a lifetime guarantee and has been trusted by over 3 million families, healthcare and childcare professionals.
