🚨 Ever wonder how a child can get lice AGAIN so soon after being treated?
I get asked this all the time.
Here's something many people don't know
When lice have been living on a scalp, they leave behind tiny traces of themselves—they literally mark their territory and leave a scent behind. The pheromone tells the lice on a friends head that your child is a desirable living space. That they are clean and tasty. That scent can linger for weeks!
Once your child is back at school and their after school activities, they're around other children again.
They're now back in the environment where they picked them up in the first place.
Lice don't jump or fly—they crawl. All it takes is one close head-to-head moment for a louse to move from one child to another.
That's why I always recommend prevention after treatment— a good mint spray and KEEP LONG HAIR
Our Mint Defense Spray is one of the ways we help families reduce the risk of reinfestation. It leaves hair smelling fresh with peppermint and is designed to be part of a daily prevention routine, especially during school outbreaks.
No product can promise your child will never get lice again, but combining a preventative spray with keeping long hair tied back and doing regular head checks can make a big difference.
💜 Prevention is always easier than another treatment.
