If you have children at school or nursery, chances are you’ve also come across head lice. With the Easter holidays approaching, it’s the perfect time to stock the medicine cupboard up with head lice treatment ready for the new term.
Although your child may not have head lice now or you’ve never experienced it before, but you’re worried they may catch them, Hedrin have prevention products available to keep parents at ease by being able to avoid possible infestations.
I have teamed up with Hedrin to offer one of you the chance to win a Hedrin head lice bundle including:
- Hedrin Treat & Go: A fuss-free solution which is great for children who just want to get out and play. When dry, the solution remains on the child’s hair for eight hours while they play, go to school or sleep. Hedrin Treat & Go is a water-based treatment which rinses out of hair easily, without any greasy residue. It requires two applications, seven days apart.
- Hedrin Protect & Go: Hedrin Protect & Go is a clinically proven head lice protection spray which offers parents the opportunity to deal proactively with the threat of infestation. A gentle conditioning spray to help stop head lice taking hold. Simply spray on after every hair wash, or at least twice a week.
- Hedrin Stubborn Egg Loosening Lotion: When a female louse lays her eggs, she glues them to the hair shafts making them hard to remove, even after the lice have hatched. Having nits (the dead, empty eggs) visible, once treatment is complete, can be distressing for the child and can affect their confidence. The latest addition to the Hedrin product family makes it significantly easier to remove nits from the hair after treatment. The unique gel base in Hedrin Stubborn Egg Loosening Lotion carries lubricant oil that releases the chemical bond between the egg and the hair, allowing the egg to slide off easily. Research has shown that it is 10 times more effective than combing alone, both from dry hair and when compared to hair treated with a conditioning shampoo.
- Hedrin Once: Hedrin Once is clinically proven to kill lice and eggs with just one 15 minute treatment. A thicker gel formulation which contains Penetrol® to aid penetration into the louse egg. Hedrin Once has been awarded the esteemed ‘Stamp of Approval’ from Mumsnet after 250 parents gave it the all-round thumbs up!
- Hedrin Headlice Detection Comb: The easy, effective way to spot head lice and nits. The comb is made from tough Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene and the teeth are precision engineered to trap the lice and prevent bending in use. Plus, it’s clinically tested to ensure comfort and accuracy.

Always braid my girls hair but it’s still doenst help
I don’t do anything to prevent it, I do check regularly because there are always emails home from school about it but so far they’ve all avoided it. Probably jinxed myself now, there was an email last week saying they’re going round!
I comb through my daughters hair (and everyone else in the family) very regularly with a nit comb.
Nit comb & conditioner but whatever will be will be, they’ve only had them twice but they all got them then!
keep hair tied back as often as possible and ensure to check hair every other day to catch them before they start breeding!
I wish I knew the magic formula as we are plagued bythem but we always try to keep hair tied back.
use tea tree shampoo & conditioner also keep hair tied up
Keeping long hair tied back and constant checking for and tackling them

My son has always had super short hair, but he now wants it longer and my daughter starts school in September and refuses to ever wear her hair up so I’m looking for tips. Thankfully they’ve both inherited my really fine hair which helps!
