Once your child starts nursery or school, head lice are almost inevitable at some stage. Although there are many different treatments on the market now, we have always found them to be a real pain – usually they are shampoos that have to be left on for a certain amount of time before being washed out. Quite frankly, some of the treatments stick to high heaven, and washing them out is like removing creosote. The chemicals stop normal shampoo from lathering up, meaning you can wash the hair over and over and over and still end up with a child who wakes up in the morning with their hair plastered to their head in a greasy, smelly mop.
We were recently sent some Hedrin Treat & Go – a new, no-fuss way to get rid of head lice and eggs. I was dubious at first – this is a spray that you apply to the hair, blow dry, and then leave over night, or all day. But actually? We were pleasantly surprised. The spray doesn’t have a chemically smell – in fact, it doesn’t really smell at all, especially after blow drying. The instructions tell you to rinse before washing out, and although it takes a couple of rinses, it does come out quite well, allowing you to add shampoo and lather up the hair afterwards.
Obviously, the ideal situation would be no head lice at all, and Hedrin Protect & Go Spray claims to help here. Simply apply to damp or dry hair, comb through and leave. Used regularly, at least twice a week, this conditioning spray works by killing lice before they can take hold. It left the kids hair really soft and silky, and since using it we have not had head lice in the house. Yes, it’s not the cheapest product out there, but if a couple of sprays a week can help keep head lice at bay, it could save a fortune on treatments!

We have jus had a letter from nursery saying some people have headlice, I want to be prepared!
would love to win for my daughter x
For my neice and nephew and me!
It’s the best there is to rid us of those pesky blighters
It’s a fact of life isn’t it, a pain but inevitable. As long as you keep the combing going I find you get rid quickly with a bottle to kick start the process
I would like to in as I have many children in my family so when one gets visitors they spread, so its always handy to have some in the house
I don’t have any children but would love to win this prize for charity, to go to Romania.
My daughter’s school has an outbreak every now and then and headlice is a big fear for me so good to be prepared!
It would be great to have in reserve for when needed
I thought we would leave nits behind at primary school, but sadly that is not the case – they still keep making cheeky reappearances now my kids are at secondary school! Nit lotion is always handy!
So I can give it to my Sister who has a 6 year old and 9 year old, who , sadly have nits from time to time, it’s always nice to deal with it in a ‘fun’ way 🙂 I remember when I was a kid, and having nits was horrid, the stuff, ewwww!!!
I would love to win to make it easier on my little girl who has long mermaid hair and is a nightmare when she gets nits!
Will love to win as school is always a nightmare with headline and love to try this brand.
My youngest started reception in September, he has quite long hair! I am dreading the dreaded nits coming!!
I would like to win as its always good to have some treatment standing by ready for those horrible little visitors
I would love to win this to pass on to my Daughter in law as her 3 little ones keep bringing home little unwanted friends from school
My head is itching after reading this post. Great to hear that the spray doesn’t have a strong smell, my childhood spray smelt awful!

I love the idea of the leave in spray. Headlice feel inevitable, especially having a daughter at school with long hair, so preventing them is a great idea. I still have memories of sitting in the bath as a child with evil smelling liquid on my head #TriedTested
