Usage and Amounts

Method of Use (For head lice)

  • 1. Spread 7 grams on the hair for each use.

  • 2. Spread the powder on the hair.

  • 3. Disperse the powder all through the hair, using hands, a comb, etc.

  • 4. Wait one hour. Cover the head with a shower cap or the like, to be sure the powder does not get into the eyes, ears, nose or mouth.

  • 5. Rinse the powder away thoroughly using room-temperature or lukewarm water, ordinary shampoo, etc. A conditioner or other ordinary product may be used afterward.

  • 6. Repeat the use once in a day, on every third day (skipping two days each time), for a total of three or four uses. Ordinary shampoo and/or conditioner may be used at any time during this period. Lice eggs hatch in about 7 days, and this procedure is designed to successively kill the new generations of lice.
    The fourth use is to make sure any newly hatched lice are killed.
