25. What is the best way to comb out lice?
Choose a Quality Comb: Use a metal lice comb with closely spaced teeth.
Setup: Work in a well-lit area with a white towel or cloth around the person’s shoulders.
Prep the Hair: Detangle with a regular comb. Dampen the hair and, optionally, add conditioner to immobilize lice.
Section the Hair: Divide hair into four parts. Starting with one, further section it for detailed combing.
Comb Close to the Scalp: Lice are often close to the scalp. Comb from roots to ends.
Wipe & Rinse: After each pass, wipe the comb on a cloth and rinse in soapy water.
Repeat: Comb each section multiple times from different angles.
Follow-Up: Comb daily or every other day for at least a week.
Sanitize: Post-combing, clean the lice comb in hot water or disinfectant.
Stay Alert: Check hair regularly for two weeks for signs of lice or nits. For persistent infestations, consider seeking professional help.
