Women numbered in the hundreds of thousands all over the world complain about lice related issues. Even though there are many of different products such as shampoos for treating lice, only of a few of them actually work. Most lice removal products have a chemical base.

Lice do not produce a few hundred eggs, they account for millions of nits in our hair. There are some products available that are effectively treating head lice. The easiest and most common is the lice comb. A lice comb has tough bristles which are narrow. When you use the comb on your hair, the bristles catch the lice which then can be manually killed.
