Prevent Head Lice with Lice Shield Hair Products {GIVEAWAY}

Like clockwork, after every summer vacation, Christmas vacation, winter recess and spring recess there is always, ALWAYS a case of head lice in my daughters’ classes. It’s because we all come back from our various places: summer homes, rentals, beach vacations, lake houses, visiting family in Europe, traveling to Asia and around the globe — and someone always comes back infected. It’s just the fact of going back to school!

So….what do you do to help prevent your child from getting head lice?

Nothing is a guarantee, but ever since my oldest one has been in Kindergarten — and that’s been 4 years now — we always use shampoo, conditioner and a leave-in conditioning spray that repels lice (and so far, they have never gotten lice).

I was recently introduced to Lice Shield, a new line of hair care products that help repel lice. Lice Shield has a proprietary blend of natural oil extracts that help repel lice; and according to their website, with regular use, the likelihood that your child will contract head lice is dramatically reduced. Lice Shield is scientifically proven to repel lice, safe and free of harmful chemicals and gentle enough to use every day.

Lice Shield hair care that helps repel head lice

What do we like about Lice Shield? My girls like the smell. And I know why: Lice Shield is made with natural essential oils like citronella, geraniol, rosemary and lemongrass which all repel lice, but smell good too! I also love that the shampoo and conditioner are combined – it makes taking showers and baths much easier.

And, since it is the beginning of the school year, let’s set the record straight with The Top 6 Head Lice Myths:

Catching head lice is not associated with poor hygiene. Anyone can get head lice!
Head lice can’t jump or fly (or swim!). They are normally transferred by direct contact from head to head.
Head lice are not able to survive off the scalp for long, so while it’s possible to catch them from clothing or hats, it’s extremely unlikely.
Children with shorter hair are just as likely to catch head lice as those with long hair.
You can only catch head lice from humans, so don’t worry about your pets passing it on.
Itching is not always a sign of head lice infestation as only 30% of people suffer from itching caused by head lice – it is an allergy to the lice that causes the itch!

So, let’s all hold hands and make this back to school season the first where NO ONE gets head lice. Please?!?

Oh my…what a great time for this. My grandson just came home having head lice this past weekend. It about made us sick. We used a lice shampoo, I’ve spent forever washing beddings, used sprays on furniture. it has been never ending. My daughter picked nits and lice out of his head. He came home saying he had mosquitoes in his head so sure enough…we found these. There was 2 other kids in his class (kindergarten) with this.My other daughter in another state is having the same issues and the doctor said there is LOTS of this right now…ugghhhh
