Hedrin Kills Headlice Liquid Gel, Fast and Effective Lice and Nit Treatment, Kills Head Lice and Eggs, 8 Treatments, Clinically Tested, Suitable for Adults and Children, 250ml

Works as it should. Easy to apply, fast and effective. Still had to do a second and third coating just to make sure everything was gone, but all in all very happy. Just make sure to wash out thoroughly otherwise it leaves your hair looking a bit greasy.

In my opinion, this is the only product that works and we’ve tried many, courtesy of the one parent who doesn’t treat her nitty kid. IMPORTANT though, you need to tweak the instructions a little. Ignore the 20 mins assurance. It’s not long enough. If you go on the hedrin site, they recommend overnight or 8 hours and this is the only way. It’s very greasy, so use old pillow cases. I put a tea towel between pillow case and pillow to prevent it wrecking my pillows. As soon as you put this on, you’ll see nits coming out to avoid it and after an overnight soak, there should be dead nits on the pillow. They’ll certainly come out with the nit comb. Washing out: this stuff is oil and will stay in your hair for days if you’re not careful (see other reviews). However, I have a tip that works well. When you go to wash out, tip half a yoghurt pot full of washing up Liquid on the hair and massage it (no water just the soap). When it’s covered, rinse. Then use 3 lots of shampoo and 1 of conditioner. The hair will be a little fluffy when dry but it won’t look greasy. Also then, soak the bottom of your bath/shower in washing up suds for an hour or two to get rid of the oil as it’s super slippery! Hope this is helpful.

Life saver with two small kids at school

Well it works! We got hit by the school nits and they wouldn't go away even with daily combing with a Nitwits comb. This killed them off immediately, although my son does react to it, it leaves red streaks on his skin, but they don't irritate him at all and he says it's nice not to itch anymore!

God I hate headlice. This got rid of them. Simple and effective and got the job done in a couple of washes Left my daughters hair lovely and soft

Easier to apply than the spray version, thicker gel doesn't get everywhere, doesn't drip so much. It's very effective, you can literally see the lice drop out as you apply it. Good size bottle to treat 3 family members. Doesn't smell great but not as disgusting as the old ones. So difficult to wash out. Really important to use shampoo before wetting the hair. It took 3 shampoos to remove most of it, and left the hair looking greasy. Left the bath extremely slippery too.

Bought this as I don't have time in my schedule for head lice treatments. It's called Once and you leave it on for 15 mins. Thought it would be quicker than their Treat and Go mousse I've used before (which you need to leave on for 8hrs and use twice). It seems to go further on thick long hair than the Treat and Go mousse did. I was impressed with its effectiveness. I found lots of lice seemingly dead on contact. It says to use again if you find live lice after one week. I waited a week (child was itchy on day 6) found a lice, and lots of eggs. I really had hoped 'Once' would mean just that. Because I was trying to save time using this, I feel I might as well be using the treat and go mousse; it's much easier to wash out. I've used up so much shampoo trying to get this Once stuff out its costing me extra while taking ages. You have to apply shampoo (this time I've tried washing up liquid on myself) directly to the hair without water. Even doing that, the hair comes out very lank. Then you need to wait for it to completely dry before you wash it again. I will say that the Once lotion is easier to use on yourself than the Once spray bottle version. I found that slippery and difficult and it just isn't nice being that close to sprayed dimethicone and trying not to breathe it in.

Absolutely brilliant, by the time you've put it on, waited 5 minutes, combed it through, they are dead! Amazing product! Will definitely buy again!
