Instructions
The head lice removal process works across three core steps:
1. Removal: Products designed to help loosen and remove lice and eggs from the hair and scalp.
2. Maintenance: Ongoing washing and combing to support continued removal during the cycle.
3. Protection: Daily spray and routine checks to help reduce the chance of re-infestation.
Following all three steps provides a comprehensive approach to managing head lice within your household. Please watch our video on the How To Apply page for a detailed guide on how to use each product correctly.

COMMUNITY & EDUCATION
Taking Lice Care & Education to the Tiwi Islands
LiceDoctors founder Janine Heard and the team recently travelled to the Tiwi Islands, providing head lice treatment, haircare and education to more than 200 children and community members.
The visit formed part of the Happy Hair Program, helping bring professional treatment and practical education to remote communities where access to these services can be limited.
FAQs
Do you need to re-apply the product after 7 days?
No. In most cases a repeat application is not required when Head4Lice is applied correctly and thoroughly, following the included instructions. If new lice are picked up later from school or close contact, that's a new infestation and can be treated as one.
Do I need to remove the eggs from the hair shaft?
No. Removing every egg is not essential, as Head4Lice is designed to treat the eggs as well as live lice. Combing is optional. If you'd like to remove eggs for appearance, our Egg Remover loosens the glue holding them to the hair, making them easier to comb out.
Why are some eggs white and others black?
The white or clear eggs are hatched eggs –that is just the empty shell left. The dark eggs are the next cycle ready to hatch – they are dark because they have the body inside.
Is it true we need to treat all members of the family?
We recommend checking everyone in the household. Often more than one person may have early-stage lice that hasn’t been noticed yet. Treating or supporting all affected family members at the same time helps stop the cycle from continuing in the home.
Do I need to sterilise the house?
As lice can live for up to 24 hours away from their blood source (scalp) before they die of dehydration, you will need to:
- change sheets and pillowcases
- soak headwear and brushes in boiling water for 5 minutes
- cover fabric lounges, scatter cushions and the headrests of the car with sheets or towels only for the next 24 hours
- change your clothing immediately after the treatment
- scrub under your fingernails
What about the carpets?
It would be highly unlikely for an adult headlice to have dropped off onto the carpet and then make its way back to a scalp all before it dehydrates (within 24hrs) and dies.
Do you need head to head contact to get headlice?
Head-to-head contact is the most common way lice spread, but it isn't the only way. Lice can also transfer during close contact, and static in the hair can make this easier. Our Preventative Spray is designed to help reduce hair static.
I found lice in my son’s hair, but he showed no signs of having them- he wasn’t even itchy! Why, when my daughter was tearing her hair out?
Actually it is more common NOT to itch- you only itch if you are sensitive to the saliva of the lice!
Can I use conditioner alone to manage head lice?
No. Conditioner can help with combing and checking the hair, but it isn't a lice treatment. For an active infestation, use Head4Lice first, then our Shampoo and Conditioner for follow-up care.
Do we need to treat our pets?
No. Head lice only live on human hair and cannot survive on pets.
How long will the LiceDoctors process help before the kids may get lice again?
Our products support the full lice cycle present in the hair at the time of use. However, new lice can still be caught from school or close contact with others. We’ll guide you on prevention habits - such as regular comb checks, tying hair back, and using our preventative spray - to help reduce the chance of future infestations.
