<\/a><\/p>\nKeeping the Bugs at Bay
\nWhen it comes to head lice the solution is usually focused on harsh, unpleasant treatments that
\nmust be administered to children after the lice come home. But Circle of Friends is shifting the
\nfocus to prevention. After all \u2013 isn\u2019t preventing lice in the first place the most desirable option?
\nIntroducing Lice Defense Shampoo and Leave-in Conditioner, a powerful – yet gentle duo that
\ndeters lice naturally, leaving little noggins squeaky clean and insect free.
\nTea Tree, Andiroba and Lavender Oils are the key ingredients that keep lice way safely and
\nnaturally. Lemon Peel Oil acts as a natural cleanser, while Vitamin B-5 and Glycerin hydrate the
\nhair leaving it soft, manageable and free of tangles. And unlike those harsh, stinky and irritating
\nchemical treatments, with Lice Defense parents and children will actually enjoy bath time thanks
\nto its kid-pleasing lavender scent.<\/p>\n
Usage
\nUse Lice Defense Shampoo several times a week when an outbreak of lice has been discovered in
\nyour community until the outbreak is under control. It is gentle enough to use daily if preferred.
\nSpray Leave-in Conditioner on hair (wet or dry) each morning. The fine mist will coat the hair and
\nprovide an extra lice deterrent. Lice do not like hair that has product on it, especially when that
\nproduct is infused with tea tree oil!<\/p>\n
Did you know?
\n1. Back-to-school is when head lice are most commonly transmitted.
\nFailure of inspection and prevention in August to November can lead to
\nwidespread infestations by December and January (University of
\nFlorida).
\n2. There are 6 to 12 million cases of head lice in the United States
\nyearly, with an estimated 12 to 24 million days of missed school
\n(Medscape Medical News, 2006).
\n3. Treatment costs may vary from $20 for over the counter products
\nlike RID Shampoo, to $200+ for a lice removal service.<\/p>\n
Lice Facts
\n1. Lice are most often spread at schools, child care centers, slumber parties, camps, little
\nleagues (shared batting helmets) and playgrounds.
\n2. Children should avoid head-to-head contact with other children and should not share
\nhairbrushes, combs, hats, helmets, pillows, sleeping bags, etc.
\n3. Lice live exclusively on humans; they cannot be transferred to pets or vice versa.
\n4. Lice are not a sign of poor hygiene — they can be a problem for children of all ages and
\nsocioeconomic status.<\/p>\n
