How should I use Sklice?

• See the detailed instructions for use that come with Sklice.
• Keep eyes tightly closed and protect eyes with a washcloth or towel.
• If product gets into eyes, gently flush with water.

Inspect

• All household members should be checked by another person for lice and/or nits (eggs).
• Use a magnifying glass in bright light to help you see the lice and/or nits (eggs).
• Use a tool, such as a comb or two unsharpened pencils to lift and part the hair.
• Look for tiny nits near the scalp, beginning at the back of the neck and behind the ears.
• Examine small sections of the hair (1-2 inches wide) at a time.
• Unlike dandruff, nits stick to the hair. Dandruff should move when lightly touched.
• If either lice or nits (eggs) are found, treat with product.

Treat

• Your hair and scalp must be dry before applying product.
• Use the top of cap to break the tamper seal on the tube.
• Apply product directly to dry hair and scalp.
• Completely cover your scalp and hair closest to the scalp first, and then apply outwards towards the ends of your hair.
• Use only amount to completely cover hair and scalp, up to 1 entire tube, and discard the remaining.
• Rub product throughout your hair
• It is important to completely cover your entire head so that all lice and eggs are exposed to the lotion. Be sure that each hair is coated from the scalp to the tip.

Wait and rinse

• Allow product to stay on your hair and scalp for 10 minutes after it has been applied. Use a timer or clock. Start timing after you have completely covered your hair and scalp with product.
• After 10 minutes, rinse product completely from your hair and scalp using only water.
• After rinsing, dry and style as usual. Wait 24 hours before applying shampoo.

After treatment

• Wash your hands after applying product.
• Nit combing is not necessary when treating with product for it to work, but if desired, a fine-tooth comb or special nit comb may be used to remove dead lice and nits.
• This is a single use product. Discard tube after use.
• Do not use again on the same person and same lice infestation without talking to a healthcare provider first.
• If infestation continues, see a healthcare provider for other treatments.
• Machine wash any bedding and clothing used by anyone having lice. Machine wash at high temperatures (150°F) and tumble in a hot dryer for 20 minutes.
• After finishing treatment with lice medicine, check everyone in your family for lice after one week. Consider treatment for those who have lice.
