Stop Lice in their tracks

Picksan Stop Lice removes all lice in a few steps

Picksan Lice Stop Anti-Lice contains natural active ingredients, including the patented MelAza extract. The MelAza extract consists of a special neem seed extract that comes from the neem tree.

The Neem seed has been used in India to treat lice for thousands of years. The Picksan Lice Stop shampoo cares for your hair and is soft on the scalp emitting a pleasant scent. Picksan Lice Stop shampoo leaves hair feeling smooth and easy to comb.

Warning:
Lice suck blood which results in small wounds on the scalp. This means that the shampoo comes into direct contact with the scalp and can permeate it. It is therefore dangerous to use chemical products as these may cause harm.
Picksan Lice Stop contains only natural, harmless ingredients that act effectively and safely against lice.

Removes all lice in a few steps:

  • Wet the hair with warm water, and lightly pat dry with a towel.
  • Dependant on the hair length, spread ¼ to ½ bottle of Picksan lice shampoo evenly through the hair and massage the scalp. Ensure that all hairs are soaked with the lice shampoo.
  • Leave the shampoo on for 15-20 minutes, covering the shoulders with a towel. Rinse the hair thoroughly with warm water and allow to dry.
  • Comb the hair with a lice comb. Comb from the top down, beginning at the roots.
  • Repeat the treatment outlined above 10 days later.

Important:
The lice are killed, but the eggs are not. This is because the active ingredient has difficulty permeating through the eggshell. The lice that later hatch from the eggs will be killed during the second treatment.
Given some eggs require 9 days to hatch, we recommend the second treatment is performed after 10 days.
Of course it is also possible to already perform the second treatment after 5 days, and the third and final treatment again after 5 days. This is not harmful for the hair or scalp.
Lice can become resistant to chemical products. It is much harder for lice to become resistant to natural products such as Picksan Lice Stop Anti-Lice. Picksan Lice Stop Anti-Lice contains a MelAza extract that consists of a combination of many active ingredients. It is difficult for lice to build a resistance to all these active ingredients.

Top 10 misconceptions about lice

“You get lice if you are unhygienic and have long hair that you do not look after.”
Wrong: everyone who comes into contact with someone that has lice, can get infected.

“I just wash away lice with shampoo. People get lice when they do not wash their hair with shampoo".
Wrong: Normal shampoo does not remove lice (think about the tight grip).

"I just comb lice and lice eggs out".
Wrong: Lice (grip) and lice eggs (stick) even resist lice combs and hair dryers. Anti lice shampoo is needed

"If I cut off the white nits then the lice will be gone."
Wrong: The white nits are already empty and no longer have a function.

"If someone has lice, it is only important that those with lice are treated."
Wrong: All "contact people" should be deloused, as they can also be infected without realising it.

'If a child has lice you need to wash bed linen, toys, floor covering etc."
Wrong: Head lice are only found in hair and can survive only a few hours without blood.

"A child that has lice can only go back to school once nits are no longer observed."
Wrong: Indicate at school that your child has lice and that you have treated it and will repeat the treatment. Mention that the "source" is probably still at school.

"A doctor needs to determine that all the lice are gone."
Wrong: Doctors do not determine this; they often lack time and cannot see if the nits are empty. 

"Lice are only active in September and January."
Wrong: Lice can be unwanted guests the whole year round.

“Lice are harmful and can cause illness”
Wrong: Lice are harmless and are more of a nuisance than anything else!
