Humanity struggles with insect parasites for many centuries. So to get rid of lice, many methods have been developed, from the use of folk remedies to radical shaving of hair. Modern pharmaceuticals create various means for the destruction of lice on the basis of chemical compounds and plant substances that are toxic to malignant insects.
One effective, but at the same time sparing, means are shampoos from lice. Usually shampoos from lice and nits are made on the basis of permethrin - an antiparasitic substance that affects the nervous system of insects, and at the same time destroys them and destroys the structure of the glue with which the nits are securely attached to the hair. Another type of shampoo against lice is done on phenothrin. Such means are effective enough in relation to adults, but almost do not affect larvae-nits. Also as insecticides can be applied tetrametrin, malathion and some other harmful for insects components.
Effective shampoos against lice
The assortment of lotions, aerosols, ointments and shampoos against lice and nits is extensive. But it should be noted that in order to fully withdraw bloodsuckers with the help of medical-cosmetic means, it is necessary to conduct several daily procedures (at least 3x-4x). After 10 days of treatment, it is advisable to repeat the course of treatment to destroy lice , beginning to appear from surviving nits. Let's try to determine which shampoos best relieve lice.
Paranita
A popular shampoo for lice is Paranit. In the package there is a special comb for combing the dead insects and nits. Paranit is used in the same way as a normal shampoo, but it is recommended to leave the foam on the hair for 10 to 12 minutes for greater efficiency, and then wash it off. Do not use this brand of shampoo for the treatment of pediculosis in pregnant women, nursing mothers and children under 3 years of age. Also, it is not possible to apply the drug for dermatological diseases affecting the scalp, and for allergies to the components included.
Pedillin
The combination of insecticides makes the use of Pedulin shampoo very effective. It is best to use shampoo in combination with the emulsion of the same name. First, apply an emulsion on the scalp with a cotton swab, evenly distributing it. Tie a headscarf to your head and hold the composition for about 30 minutes. After washing off the substance, soap the head with "Pedilin" shampoo, and, after 3 minutes, thoroughly wash off the foam with water. After the procedure, carefully comb the hair with a thick scallop.
Veda-2
The Veda-2 shampoo applied on the scalp is foamed and held for about 10 minutes. The hair is rinsed with water with diluted vinegar to kill the nits. It is not recommended to use a hair treatment product for children under 5 years old and people suffering from skin diseases.
