Nit Free Terminator Lice Comb, Professional Stainless Steel Louse and Nit Comb for Head Lice Treatment, Removes Nits

This Comb Is The Answer!!! - C. Cortesi "Zydeco29 on Nov 15, 2007 I Like

This is the first time I have felt compelled to write a review for anything and I buy lots of items from Amazon. My daughter came home from a summer visit at her father's infested with lice. I thought it would be simple to get rid of. No clothes were allowed inside until washed. I treated her head with lice treatment. I spent two days picking out bugs and nits. One day at hotel and one at home. I colored her hair. All this before she was allowed into her bedroom. I know I spent over 12 hours straight combing through her hair and hand picking out bugs and nits. I have never seen anything like her infestation before. After having live bugs still running away from me after the lice treatment, I read all I could on the internet for other treatments. Mayo. Listerine. Olive Oil. Tree Tea Oil. Peppermint Shampoo. Tree Tea shampoo. I spent hundreds of dollars trying to get rid of these things. They all seemed to work to a certain degree, but not totally. I still combed nits out daily. You have to understand, when she first came home, she had 2 or 3 nits on what seemed like EVERY hair on her head. After 2 months my daughter's hair was prettier then it had ever been...although shorter to be sure! But I still found nits and bugs on occasion. I was at wit's end and shared many tears of frustration with my daughter. Who at no fault of her own felt so bad that she had these nasty creatures in her hair. Never have I been so frustrated or angry. I hated those little bugs!!!! Then I gave up and said ok, I'll try the stupid comb. What's 20 more bucks gonna hurt? The first night I combed though her hair and couldn't believe the stuff it pulled out. I had just dyed her hair (yet again) to try to kill off the little buggers, and I know I combed out over a dozen of them. Not to mention the nits. And other gunk, that I knew must be dead bugs and waste from these things. And to look at her hair, it appeared so clean!!! at the same time of being totally disgusted with what I was combing out, I was excited too! Was it going to work? day two, I combed again and got maybe 6 to 12 more bugs. Day 3...I'm down to only being able to find 4 bugs. Day 4 I had no bugs. Day 5 still nothing! She truly is lice free. I can't express enough how wonderful this comb is. I comb once a week now just so we never EVER have to go though this again. I truly don't understand why I had to go online to find this comb. No where in my town was it offered. Only the WORTHLESS over the counter USELESS chemicals that didn't WORK!!!! If you really want to get rid of lice in schools, this should be available everywhere. I hope just one person reads this, tries the comb and passes on what they learned. It really does make a difference and can save hundreds of dollars. Not to mention relieving the stress and frustration of parents everywhere...

Definitely The Solution - HB on Apr 13, 2008 I Like

After getting over the shock of our kids coming home from school with lice, the best solution we found is definitely the Terminator Lice Comb used in conjunction with Cetaphil Skin Cleanser.

At first, we tried the RID shampoo from the pharmacy which included a fine comb and gel. This did not work since nits hatch a day later and you cannot use the shampoo over and over. The shampoo has a pesticide in it that can be very dangerous for children.

After researching information on the Internet, the process we used that got rid of the lice within four days was the following: 1) wash hair and put conditioner in and leave it in, 2) comb hair with regular comb to get knots out, 3) section off hair and use Terminator Comb on each section (note: make sure you rinse Terminator Comb off after each stroke as to not spread lice, nymphs or nits), 4) completely rinse out hair conditioner and blow dry hair.

STEP 5) before bedtime, saturate hair with Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser all the way to the scalp. Put shower cap on child for the entire night. This step is important since the Cetaphil seems to keep lice and nymphs from crawling around and probably blocks the nits from hatching. However, this is not confirmed but makes sense if you read how nits hatch. Rinse the Cetaphil out in the morning and repeat combing hair with the Terminator Comb.

We did the above five steps for four days and noticed the number of nits declining considerably each day. By day four, we only saw a couple nits in the sink after rinsing the comb. NOTE: since nits hatch within 7-10 days, you will need to repeat the above process on day 7 just to double check. We checked on day 7 and found nothing. Since we're being super cautious, we checked day 10 as well and found nothing.

Best Lice And Nit Comb On The Market - Zack Lee "Zack" on Jun 27, 2007 I Like

I have tried all three of the so called best lice and nit removal combs on the market and the Nit Free Terminator Comb is by far the most effective. They all get out lice but this comb really gets the nits (lice eggs) out much more efficiently. The Rid comb and the LiceMeister were not as effective at all.
We bought one for each child (the combs come in differnt colors) and they last forever.

Only Professional Nit Comb - mk on Sep 27, 2009 I Like

My family already had a serious problem with lice when we first detected them. Three of us had lice: myself, my 10 year old daughter and my 12 year old son. My daughter and I have long thick hair. We had been told by friends that the only way to get rid of the lice was to use a pesticide-based shampoo to kill the live bugs and then to pick out the individual nits one by one. Inspection and individual picking was thought to be needed because the plastic combs provided in the shampoo products are ineffective. Since my husband did not have the patience or skill to do the work, I went to a professional nitpicking service. The service used this comb and said it was the best one available. The process they used was to first spray the hair with a mixture of water and hair conditioner until it is damp, but not dripping. This makes the hair slippery enough to allow the comb to get through. Then the professional nit picker methodically combed through all the hair one small area at a time, wiping the foamy conditioner residue on a paper towel between comb throughs. By examining the foamy residue, she could see whether any nits or live bugs were removed. The entire process took a little more than an hour on my thick long hair. The service did not advocate using any pesticide based shampoo. They said the toxic shampoo products are dangerous and unnecessary.

Other key pieces of info: newly hatched lice cannot lay new eggs until they have been hatched for 7 days. Therefore, you have 6 to 7 days to remove all the nits, once the live bugs are removed. The service also advocated using olive oil covered by a shower cap overnight to kill the live bugs. I am not sure how important this is if you do a good job of removing the live bugs and nits methodically with the comb and conditioner. Also, if your child has very thin hair, the tines of the comb may not be close enough together to get out the nits. In this case, the service advocated sprinkling baking powder on the hair after the conditioner is applied to thicken it up to the point where nits can be removed.

One last point: we tried one of the "non toxic" enzyme based treatments that purport to dissolve the nit glue. One example on Amazon is Lice Eliminating Natural Shampoo, All Natural, Non-Toxic, Nit Free with Foam Applicator Kit. This can be used instead of, or in addition to the conditioner. I think it did help reduce the force needed to get the nits out and also stunned the live bugs making it easier to get them out with the comb.

GREAT PRODUCT - Leonard Varvaro on Oct 10, 2007 I Like

I am a foster parent. Five siblings came to live with us in June. They have had head lice for years. After 5 or 6 lice treatments I didn't know what to do. they just kept coming back. Then I started searching for help on the internet and discovered this comb. I had been using the cheap plastic combs that come with the treatments. I never knew that metal combs even existed. The bottom line is that the lice are finally gone. I just combed through the kids hair every few days, each time finding fewer and fewer nits. now i find nothing. I can't recommend this comb highly enough.

Professional NitPicker Secret - Highlandbird on Aug 21, 2010 I Like

I just paid [...] per hour to have a "professional" nit-picker de-louse me. She used this comb with white hair conditioner (any brand will do). She combed thru my hair for 40 minutes, my daughters' for an hour. I paid [...] total. She would comb with this tool then wipe and spread the conditioner on a papertowel, so we could see the lice and nits (eggs). For the last 15 mins she captured no lice or nits. You MUST comb from all directions. Do this 3x per week for 30 mins; 2x with conditioner, 1x with olive oil (let it sit for 5 hours). You'll be lice/nit free. You should do this comb through with conditioner once a month till 8th grade. She sells this comb for [...] and her desperate clients buy it. Get it here and have it handy for that day you feel the itch, or get it here if you have the problem now. She swears by this comb. No useless toxic chemicals used. You must remove the nits because the toxic chemicals don't work. Profit from my experience and save yourself a bundle.

Nothing Works Better - Ivy "englshivy" on Jul 1, 2010 I Like

Lice recently became the bane of my existence. We used a drugstore pesticide shampoo and it was useless. So we moved on to the prescription option, Ovide. We think it killed everything, but there were still nits all over our daughter's hair. It's likely that they were dead anyway, but it would only take two of them surviving to start the infestation all over again. Bottom line, no matter what treatment you use it's necessary to get all the nits out. The comb that came with the first treatment was as useless as the treatment itself, and my husband was spending hours picking nits with a pair of tweezers, but no matter how many he picked out, there always seemed to be more. And boy are they tiny.

Based on the positive reviews on Amazon, I ordered this comb and paid through the nose for overnight delivery. I hoped and prayed that it would work as well as people said it would. Thank goodness, it did. My husband had just "finished" his tweezer treatment on our daughter's hair when the Terminator arrived. A quick run through her hair pulled out a good fifteen nits he had missed with the tweezers. So we took turns combing her with the Terminator and geeking out over the number of nits it was catching. Eventually it started coming out clean with every pass. At that moment I could have kissed the feet of whomever invented this thing. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Amazing Product - Michelle White "FINA on Nov 5, 2007 I Like

After fighting lice for numerous months with both kids (they kept passing it back and forth) I was at my wits end using the OTC harsh chemicals and combs that failed to remove the nits. It was extremely frustrating, expensive, time consuming and the kids practically ran when they saw me taking the comb out. I searched on the internet and came across this comb. It only had a few reviews, but the spiral tines made sense to get the nits out. GET THIS COMB IF YOU HAVE KIDS!!! I cannot say enough about this comb. It says you can use on dry hair, but I sprayed my daughters hair and it seemed easier to comb through. It was amazing! Lice and nit free after I was done. I will continue to do a quick run through after each hair wash as a precaution, but know the lice won't be back. You won't be disappointed. I know the price seems a little high for a comb, but if I would have bought this before the RX treatments, I literally would have saved about $200. Get this comb.

This Comb Is THE Answer For Head Lice - C. McDowra on Jun 9, 2010 I Like

When we found out my grandson had head lice a couple of weeks ago, my daughter did the chemical hair wash treatment. I knew the treatment would have to be repeated at least once, and since I'm uncomfortable with chemicals, I did some research on the internet.

I found the electronic Robi-Comb and this Nit Free Terminator had the best reviews, so I got both. The Robi-Comb arrived first, and when we tried it, I was initially impressed. It did comb out some very tiny lice, but after a couple of days it stopped working. Then we received this comb, the Nit Free Terminator, and I was totally amazed to see what the Robi-Comb missed, much of which I believe was nits.

I can't say for certain this comb gets every single nit off every single hair strand, but considering the life stages of lice, I am not concerned. After an egg is attached to the hair strand, it takes about a week for it to hatch. Then there is about another week before the nymphs can lay eggs. If you discover you have head lice and use this comb every day until nothing else comes out, then use it two or three times a week to remove any bugs that might have hatched, you will be lice free.

The nits (eggs) will slide off the hair shaft easier if you first wet all the hair with distilled vinegar, cover the head with a plastic shower cap or wrap in saran wrap and leave it on for an hour. Remove the cap, comb through with a regular comb to remove tangles, then comb through with the Nit Free comb, wiping it off after every pass or swishing it in a bowl of water. The vinegar dissolves the glue that holds the nits on the hair, plus the vinegar helps the comb glide through the hair. After sufficient combing, wash the hair as usual. Even if you miss a nit and the thing hatches, using this comb religiously will eventually eliminate the lice problem.

And regarding treating your house or your carpet, please don't use poisonous sprays. Just wash your bedding in hot water, dry in a hot dryer and do some vacuuming, but don't stress about it. A live louse can only live about 2 days without a blood meal, and an egg can't hatch without the warmth from your head. As long as it isn't in contact with you, it won't live long. And as long as you're using the comb, if a live one does get in contact with you, you will be combing it out.

Three ladies in New York have opened several lice removal salons, and they use this exact same comb. You can find them on YouTube by searching for fairylicemothers (all one word).

From now on, I will never recommend chemicals or any other treatment besides this comb. I'm convinced it is ALL you need, and I'm informing everyone I know about the Nit Free Terminator.

Who Wants To Write A Review About A Lice Comb?? - T. Briggs on Nov 8, 2008 I Like

I'm an OLD RN and grandma and a Nit Free Terminator now! I never had to deal with lice in my family before. My grand-daughter had lice her other grandma said...can't go to day care. Who's afraid of lice enough to not take care of a grandkid...not me? On weekly visits I would treat her with over the counter non toxic treatments and comb and comb with the enclosed combs and see no nits (maybe I am blind)...and occasionally a few lice. Her main caregiver was combing her 2X a day pulling nits off when she wasn't here. All reported that nothing had been found for over a week. But I was paranoid...and bought this new Nit comb called Nit Free Terminator. Yesterday she visited. I decided to try it out...OMG!! I stopped counting at 50 adult lice!! This comb pulled out lice I couldn't see on her head!! OKAY...so I am paranoid...but at least I feel a bit better knowing I have the Nit Free comb. I'm buying a few more to give to the other grandmas!! Won't they all be happy??

A God Send - Jamie Douglas "jamie on Mar 22, 2009 I Like

I fought with Head Lice for a year in my 2 year old and my 5/6 years old. I don't like using all the chemicals because of liver damage. I used this comb alone, everyday for a week. It got rid of all the lice, and nits, and they haven't been back since. And this was over 2 months ago.

The ONLY Lice & Nit Comb That Works! - lovepouredout "kubac on Dec 21, 2007 I Like

I am in agreement with ALL the other reviews and my story is very similar. I am a beautician and am amazed at the effectiveness of this comb! It gets out all you see and all you can't see!Thats right....you cant see it all. So if you are dealing with lice over and over again than use this comb. You will find relief. I use this in conjunction with over night olive oil treatments (every 2-3 days) and since I got the comb I am seeing results! Quickly!!! The costumer service is excellent. So friendly and helpful! I highly recommend buying from LLC. I will always have a Terminator comb in my house. Why aren't these in ALL the stores? Throw everything else in the garbage.....This is the only comb that works.

Best Comb Ever - lice free college gi on Dec 8, 2010 I Like

This is the best lice comb ever and you should get it. Let me paint a picture for you. I had moved to a new town to start college and got my first apartment. I started babysitting a neighbor's 5 year old for extra cash, she would come over and spend all day playing with me. A week went by I started itching and guess what, the little girl had lice. Now I had just moved into this apartment and I didnt have a vacumm, a washer or dryer, I didnt even have a table yet. But I walked (no car) down to Rite-Aid and bought some lice shampoo, a fancy and expensive Rid comb and some house spray. 3 months later I still had lice. I had been able to get it somewhat under control. As long as when I came home from school I would jump into the shower, wash my head with vinegar and then spend an hour combing the little suckers out.

Now I had done a lot to get rid of these critters but they are relenting. I had bagged up all my things, trying to sufficate them. I bought a vacumm and would constantly vacumm my house. I have draged all my laundry down to the coin-op countless times and bleached my clothes. I did everything. After a while I realized it was the expensive lice comb that was the problem. It would get most of the nits out but I could tell that it didnt do the job completely. Also if a nit got stuck between the prongs/bristles I would have to get a needle and scrape them out.

So I started looking online and I found this comb, I thought whats 10 more dollars and got it. It arrived 4 days later and I'm telling you it was 10 dollars well spent. When you comb your hair you can feel it working and then (this is my favorite part) THE NITS SIT ON TOP OF THE COMB!!! No more scraping them out with a needle! You can just wash it.

I recived the Terminator comb today around 10:30, spent 15 minutes combing out my hair until I honesly could not find a single nit! I was so excited that I walked down to the library and wrote this review. I have never written a review on Amazon for anything, in fact I created an Amazon account to buy this comb. I'm telling you, if you have lice and you need help getting them out, get this comb.

3rd Time's A Charm - Best Comb By Far...just Buy It - Leya Stefanski on Jan 28, 2010 I Like

I can't say enough about this. Needless to say this has been a horrible time. Our son 4.5 brought lice home from school about a week ago. We first tried NIX otc kit (which comes w/ a plastic comb). We thought we were done until combing that night we realized there were about 50 eggs on our sons head. We also have twin 2.5 year old girls that both had eggs as well. Next we went to the pediatrician and bought the prescription creme which seemed to kill all the adults, but we still had eggs. We used a metal comb we bought at the local drugstore, but it hurt when it touched the scalp, tangled the hair (so you had to use small amounts at once) and took forever (not cool w/ the toddler crowd - :( ) Finally we overnighted 3 of these combs and we can't say enough. They work, they don't hurt and they go through the hair smoothly. Took half the time. Really, buy these first, don't mess with the OTC stuff, but mostly get this comb!!

Awesome! - Rabjr on Sep 28, 2009 I Like

I read the reviews on this site and other sites. This comb got the best marks of all of them.

I ordered the comb because every night had developed into a new hobby of checking for lice and nits by hand. We are a family of five and this procedure was taking a ridiculous amount of hours every evening.

I also would like to mention that a top brand lice killer shampoo did nothing. Their combs were almost useless as well, which is why we started de-licing by hand. We also did all the bagging and washing of clothes and linen, etc.

We got the Terminator comb and I was hopeful but prepared for dissapointment as well. I thought we had done an excellent and thorough job grooming by hand but we were totally amazed and disgusted by what the Nit Free Terminator Lice comb dragged out of everyones hair! All kinds of nits, some sooo small. We even pulled a few adults out. (we used a small white bucket filled with water to catch what the comb brought out.) I could not believe it! Of course it was gross but we were thrilled how easy, quick and effective the comb was. Over a few days of grooming, our family has no bugs or nits. We will keep this up daily for awhile.

Oh yeah, my step-sons friend came over the other day. The boy had been treated for lice and was supposed to be lice free. We used the comb on him. I have never seen so many nits and some very fiesty adults as well.

This comb was an answer to a nightmare! Five stars is not enough.

It Works. Nymphs And Nits Come Out In This Comb. - letterm "letterm" on Sep 7, 2010 I Like

Using NitFree foam as directed, I pulled this comb through my kids' hair and combed out many many tiny nymphs and nits. Two days later, I found only two nymphs and two nits. Then there were none. You do have to be very thorough and follow the instructions: brush out the hair first (and then run VERY hot water over the brush), separate the hair into sections and comb each tiny section from four directions, running hot water over the comb and running a finger over the tines to "fan" it as you do. It is tedious work that must be done near a sink. I'd tried three other combs before this one and there's no comparison. This one takes everything out (though I'm a little skeptical of the claim that it kills the nits and lice in the act of combing) from the tiniest nymph to the adult louse.

Awesome, Good Visual Feedback With White Conditioner - Mary P. Reeve on Jun 14, 2009 I Like

This comb works great. We used it in conjunction with white conditioner applied very thickly throughout and down to the roots to immbolize the lice. Then we used this comb to go through section by section. After each section we wiped the comb on white paper towels and you can see the nits/nymphs/adult lice very easily in all the white. Then you can continue on that section until you don't find any more. It also gives you a sense of who is infected and to what degree. We found that surprisingly, two of the long haired people in our house didn't even have any nits, so we only continued to monitor them once a week, but didn't have to spend the time to go through them thoroughly every 3 days. Very good with conditioner in terms of getting visual feedback on where you stand in the battle!

Not Good For Thick Hair - Supermama on Jun 4, 2008 I Like

I had read all the rave reviews before I purchased this comb, and I thought it would be very easy to use. It works well enough for my 7-year-old daughter's hair, with some pulling of hair and pain involved, but it's very difficult to use for my thick, wavy hair. I also wish that the maker of this comb would also come up with some sort of a cleaner for the VERY tight grooves on the comb. Just washing the comb doesn't clean the dirt that collects. Having said all this, it worked well for my daughter, so I'm happy for her. I just think the product can be better.

Best Comb That I Found - Yaya "Deb" on Apr 27, 2008 I Like

I used the plastic combs that came with both RID and NIX and found them basically useless. I also bought the RID metal comb. It was much better than the plastic combs, but I was in search for the best method for removing our lice. My three kids and I were all infested. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent on the internet researching lice solutions. After reading the positive reviews about this comb, I ordered one. I also paid for priority shipping which cost more than the comb. :) It was worth every penny. It found many baby lice and eggs that the RID metal comb totally missed. I highly recommend this comb!

This Comb Will END Your Frustration!!!! - benton on Feb 9, 2011 I Like

Unfortunately, my daughter contracted head lice from school as it has been spreading like wild fire. She's 8 and has a head of hair you wouldn't believe. When I discovered multiple louses running in her hair, I immediately ran to the drug store for a pesticide shampoo. Much to her dismay, I lathered and (tried)combing her hair with a useless plastic comb that was included in the RID kit.
After an hour of combing, I pulled about 5-10 lice out and thought that was the end of the live ones.....WRONG!!! That same night, I again found a couple live ones. Desperate, I surfed the web and we tried everything from Teatree oil, vinegar, olive oil, coconut shampoo/conditioner. While all of these treatments may have helped somewhat, we were still pulling nit after nit out of her hair. That exhausting problem again, had me surfing the web for suggestions. I came upon the NIT TERMINATOR that saved my (and my daughter)sanity!!! THIS COMB WORKS!! The long spiraled stainless steel teeth actually grab those stubborn nits off the hair shafts. With this product, you don't need ANY expensive/stinky/time consuming treatments! Comb a couple times/day until you don't see anymore nits...I continued to comb for 2wks. Be sure to wipe the comb after every swipe and wipe it on a cloth inspecting it for any lice/nits. I found it works best on wet or damp hair, but you can also do it dry. Soon you will be lice-free!!! THIS WORKS!!!

If You Are Dealing With Lice, You Have To Get This Comb, Is Amazing! - M. hunt on Feb 19, 2010 I Like

When I found lice in my daughter's hair, I got the usual reaction of frantic hair washing, laundry, etc.
And after buying everything else, I decided to get this comb. It is the most helpful thing I got. I bought the electric one and its OK, but not as good as this one. This will get rid of nits that you can't even see with a magnifying glass.
So do your regular shampoo treatment the first day, after that use the flat iron on the hair while it is wet (moist heat is alwasy more effective) and use this comb every day. You will be lice free in no time. Don't use the hot iron the same day after you use the lice treatment shampoo, because I've heard some are flammable.

Good Product - Helen S. Lam on Jan 25, 2010 I Like

I have tried other lice combs for my two kids but their teeth always seem too wide apart. These are truly close together to pull off any nit or louse. The only nit with this comb is that the teeth are very polished and thus they reflect the light to the point where it is difficult to see any louse or nit on the comb's teeth. A duller finish would solve this minor issue.

This Does The Trick QUICK - K. Odell on Nov 29, 2008 I Like

I'm so glad I heard about this comb (called the Nitty Gritty in Britain) and didn't waste my time on other methods. Both my boys had lice and this comb got rid of them in a couple of days. I used it every day for a few days and by the third day or so I didn't see any more nits or anything.

All you need is this comb and whatever hair conditioner you happen to have on hand.

It also gets your hair really, really clean. It will pull anything out of your hair that shouldn't be there. Since the whole family figured we'd better make sure, we all used it. My husband liked how it took all his dandruff straight out. My toddler has cradle cap and this comb really helped by removing all the flakes that came up during the treatment.

We all use it at least once a week, as we live in an area where lice are very common and I know my boys will be exposed to them again at school. Use this once a week with conditioner and you can be sure that lice won't establish themselves, again.

Simple And Very Effective - Matt "Matt" on Mar 19, 2011 I Like

This comb is great. Much better than the plastic ones we had. They pulled out a lot of hair and were a pain to use. With this thing, I could thoroughly go over my wife's, and either of my daughters long hair in just a couple minutes. We found nits and adult lice the first night we used this comb. In the next 5 days, we found only 3 or 4 newly hatched lice, and then they were gone. Do not waste your time with over the counter pesticides. We tried one of them (Nix) the first night and they were completely inneffective. We got a prescription for the heavy-duty stuff, but we saved those since the comb was proving to be so effective. After everyone was lice free, my wife decided to use the prescription-strength stuff and I about had to leave the house. The smell was AWEFUL. You were supposed to leave that stuff in overnight, but I wasn't sure our girls would live through it, so we washed it out after about an hour.

Get this comb, and use it each morning for 7 days (the time it takes an egg to hatch). I'm completely convinced it is the safest, easiest, and most effective way to rid your household of lice. Even if you decide to use the prescription-strength stuff, you should still buy this comb, or you'll have no way of knowing whether or not the treatment was effective. We also use the comb after our daughters go on a sleep-over for our peace of mind.

Friends of ours talked about their battle with lice as '3 months of hell'. For us, with this comb, it was 5 days of a minor inconvenience.

Lice No More! - mom2three on Aug 28, 2010 I Like

Tried all kinds of shampoos, home remedies, etc, none ever completely worked. Was getting real frustrated, daughter has long, thick hair and just could not get all the nits. When I finally found this product thought it was too good to be true, but ordered anyway, willing to try anything. Within an hour my daughter's hair was completely free of lice and nits. It pulls out the lice and shreds the nits to bits! What a god send! Completely satisfied, told all my friends, hair stylist, county nurse - everyone!!! This really works!!!! The screw-like teeth are what does the trick. Don't buy anymore of those toxic or even nontoxic shampoos. This is all you need.

Incredible! - Jacqueline Messick on Jul 28, 2010 I Like

Wow!! This comb is worth its weight in gold! I have a teen daughter with incredibly thick, curly hair. She got head lice and we were overwhelmed. The comb that comes with the lice shampoo is a joke! After days of trying everything I could I finally decided that she would have to live with the nits until they grew out - I could not figure out how I could ever get all the nits out of her hair. As my last ditch effort I ordered this comb. When it arrived it took only 1 hour and I had removed hundreds of nits from her hair. It did not hurt her and it took a fraction of the time I thought it would. It grabs the nits and pulls them right out. Why do they not carry these in every drugstore??? If you have lice do not wait another minute to order this awesome comb!

The Only Actual Cure For Lice - Chris "mother of 4" on Nov 14, 2009 I Like

After spending two weeks pulling LIVE lice from our hair while using NIX and the blue plastic comb provided, our Nit Free Terminator Lice Comb came in the mail. I was shocked when the first stroke of my hair filled the comb with dozens of nits when I hadn't seen anything from the blue comb except a few live bugs. My family and I had been miserable with very itchy heads during this process. Within two days of using the new comb we were itch and bug free! I am convinced, after my experience, that the secret to eradicating lice is using a really good comb twice a day, not using the chemical products that, in our case, didn't even kill the live bugs. I read the reviews about it being hard to clean, but I simply used an old tooth brush to clean off the nits under the faucet, it worked great.

The Only Relef For Lice! - Pandora Shepherd on Oct 6, 2009 I Like

After trying numerous poison kits (and mayonaise) the only thing that finally worked was this comb! You don't even really need any accompanying product. Just comb through hair and it really takes out all the lice! I don't know if it actually pulls out all the nits as well, but continue using it for several days and eventually all the lice will be gone! Keep it around and check the hair periodically in case of reinfestation.

Praise God For This Invention - Happy Mom "Praise Go on Aug 30, 2009 I Like

Praise God for giving the wisdom to invent this comb. It was a life saver. My daughter had over 100 live lice and all the niths to go with them. We worked for 2 days before I found this comb. After hours of hand nit picking I thought I had gotten most of the nits out, I was wrong. This comb arrived and we went through everyones hair. I found so many on my daughter and my son that i thought had none had 15-20 nits on the first pass with the comb. WOW! I am so glad we bought this. I will do random checks with it from now on. 5 Days later and we are finally nit and lice free. Praise God!!!

FINALLY A SOLUTION!!!!!! - M. Beles on Jul 24, 2009 I Like

My daughter became infested recently from summer camp. After many treatments of RID and an OCD-like daily home cleaning, I stumbled across a home remedy using Avon Skin So Soft (no nasty chemicals) online and bought this comb. 2 days later she is now lice and nit free. After weeks of battle the cheap cure was the best - Skin So Soft, Dish Soap, Aussie Deep Conditioner, and this MARVELOUS COMB we are FREE AT LAST! Best buy EVER!

**UPDATE 08/22/09*** Almost a month later and still BUG FREE!***

The Best Comb We Have Tried So Far. - Steven A. Toth on Feb 9, 2009 I Like

I normally do not write that many reviews but this comb is by far the best we have tried at removing nits (lice eggs) from hair. Our daughter had hundreds of nits in her hair, we used the RID product sold in CVS Pharm. stores to initially help kill the live adult lice but the plastic comb that come with the kit leaves something to be desired. The plastic supplied comb pulls the child's hair and removes only a few nits requiring multiple passes through the child's hair. We also tried stainless flea combs which did not pull the child's hair but only worked as well as the plastic combs. Then I ordered and tried this Nit Terminator comb with its spiral grooved teeth it really grips nits and removes them with much less effort than other mentioned combs. I wish we would have tried this comb first and saved ourselves 14hrs of combing with the other combs. I now use this comb to check the kids hair for lice on a regular bases and we are all happy and lice free.

The BEST Lice/nit Treatment Out There!! - B. Plescher on Aug 12, 2010 I Like

This comb has been the best lice removal tool I have ever used!! Some tips for those who have thick hair, or who have not had success with this comb: you must be VERY methodical. My eldest daughter has wavy/curly hair, so the comb works best if her hair is wet. You need to do small portions of hair from scalp to ends. We actually begin at the hairline, comb up from the neck or back from the forehead, and then pull up through the full length of hair, section by section. It takes a long time, especially with long or thick,curly hair. It can pull, but it gets the nits if you work it properly. To stop reinfestation, continue combing every day until you get two days in a row with no new nits. You also need to rinse the comb under hot water after each sweep of hair to remove the nits/lice from the comb. Because the comb is so tight, it takes a bit of work to get them out, but you don't want to reintroduce them into the hair. In addition to using this comb, you need to follow other guidelines for cleaning linens and your home to remove all lice, and be sure to use the comb on every person in the house. If you have continued problems with the lice returning, then you are likely not doing enough to get rid of the source. I can guarantee that it is not because this comb doesn't work!!

Best Comb EVER! - E. Garcia-Vega "Momm on Dec 30, 2009 I Like

This is by far the best comb i've used!! After trying treatment after treatment on both son and daughter, and using the plastic combs that come with the treatments, I couldn't seem to get rid of these pesky critters. After hours and hours of picking through my daughter's hair and cutting my son's hair....they were back. It was so frustrating. I found this comb and decided to try it after reading the reviews. I have to say it was the best comb EVER! It really did pull out every nit which is the key to removing these darn critters completely. So far, I've found no lice or nits in either my daughter's hair or my son's hair. Thank GOD I took the chance and bought it!! I am extremely happy with this comb and would DEFENITELY recommend it.

Best Lice/nit Comb - A Howard "Mama" on Sep 9, 2009 I Like

If you have lice - order this comb and have it shipped overnight. It removed the nits, even their empty shells. We had looked over my head time and time again and this comb found nits that we had missed, otherwise we may still have them. It was worth every dime to have it shipped overnight. I have recommended this to everyone I know, just to have it on hand. IT REALLY WORKS and saved me from losing my mind.

YES, This Is The BEST Comb! - lovebucket on Nov 13, 2008 I Like

My children had lice and I eliminated them with this comb, hair conditioner and oils. Other parents tried other methods, but I have found that it is all in the comb and being compulsive about getting out every last nit.

To make it easier to get the comb through the hair, you must deal with untangled hair first. Brush out the hair if need be. Then apply generous amounts of hair conditioner, leave it in about 20 minutes to slow down the lice. Then, comb out the hair until it is very smooth. Some lice might come out at this point, so do this in the bathroom near the sink or tub. Then, use the comb to get all the tiny nymphs and eggs. You will have to be methodical, combing every tiny inch of your child's head and you will need to have hot water nearby to rinse the comb as you go. Do this 2 to 3 times a day for 2 to 3 days and you should be rid of the lice on your kid's head. (Of course, there's the other stuff that has to be done around the house to get rid of the lice as well...

It's Not The Final Solution - Shelley Ryan "Killer on Jun 3, 2008 I Like

This comb is better than most, but it's hard to clean and it still misses some of the tiny eggs. My advice to any family battling lice: Don't waste another minute, go invest in a magnifying lamp like this model... Lighted Desk Magnifying Lamp w/ clamp. I used it to examine my daughter's blonde hair up close after shampooing and rinsing with vinegar. Then when I spotted an egg, I cut the strands of hair (as few as possible) close to the root. Much easier -- and less painful -- than trying to comb or pull it out. This was a daily ritual for a week! I checked her every other day for another week just to make absolutely sure the nasties were really gone.

Sanity Saver - living out loud on Mar 15, 2011 I Like

I battled these pesky little buggers for three months. Both my kids had them and nothing was working. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this comb. Whithin a week we were lice free. I think I read every review on here before buying. It has saved my sanity!!! I used a lice shampoo on my kids and started combing. Be very methodical. I clipped their hair into sections. After every stroke with the comb, wipe it on a clean piece of tissue. Do every day for 10 days and then retreat with shampoo. My kids are two and five. They watched youtube while I combed. They actually were asking to do this every night so it was great to have cooperative kids. Also...shine a flashlight in the hair to become familiar with what the eggs look like. They vary in colour from white to dark brown so this way you can become familiar with what you are combing out. Good luck. I wish the schools would advertise this product.

Saved Our Sanity!! - fenway#1 on Jan 9, 2011 I Like

I can't begin to say how amazing this comb is. My daughter had a case of head lice that we thought we cleared and then suddenly, it was back. We repeated the treatment again and used the included comb and then hand Nit picked. It was another 4 hours of torture for all involved. I did some research and found this comb. I went to my local salon and picked one up. We decided to give it a try. I got her hair wet and used the Fairy Tales products in conjunction to allow for combing ease. I couldn't believe how many Nits I had missed. I got hundreds more that were so difficult to see/find on my own. We combed and combed and combed. We figured it was time to stop until the next day. So today was day two and we only found 1 nit. Seriously, only 1!! What an amazing feeling to know that it worked and that my kid wouldn't have lice!! Just a fantastic product and worth every penny! Just throw the ones away that come with the lice treatment, they don't work AT ALL!! Who thought I would ever write a review for a lice comb, kinda funny :)

Amazing! Saved My Sanity. - Pip's Mama on Dec 11, 2010 I Like

After a week of trying Nix, Olive Oil and then attempting to nit-pick by hand I was frustrated and in tears to discover yet more live lice in my 5 yr old daughters thick hair. Not only is her hair thick, she has tons of it. So I received my order of Clearlice in the mail and to my surprise it came with a Terminator. I had also ordered one on Amazon. So now I have two (which is fine by me). I went through both her and my hair last night and found at least 8 of the little critters and 15+ nits. We did the whole Clearlice treatment today and then I combed her out again. Found two more little guys and about 10 nits. But I feel like we are on the road to recovery. I think I might have missed some of them last night because it was dark. Anyway...this product ROCKS! Seriously, last night at this time I was hopeless but I feel like now with another combing out tomorrow we will be doing better. It's all about staying on top of it! Good luck to everyone out there...and ORDER THIS COMB!

It Works - Love to read on Dec 1, 2010 I Like

This worked for us. Don't bother with the shampoos or washing all your bedding and stuffed animals. You just need to use this comb every day and you'll get rid of the lice. What a relief! You have to get your hair cut at least as short as a bob to make it easier to get all the eggs. If you do those two things: short haircut and using this comb every day, you'll get rid of them!

My Kids Hair Still Too Thin - Jennifer Cougill on Oct 20, 2010 I Like

This really is a great comb and much better than you get in the box from OTC shampoo, but my kids have very fine hair, and this comb still did nothing for the nits. I still had to "hand pick" out any nits I found.

Unbelievably Efficient Lice Comb! - Marie Fignar "MrsFig on Oct 3, 2010 I Like

Let me first state that this was my first incident with lice and was completely freaked out when my daughter got it. I immediately looked up home remedies and used olive oil, coconut conditioner (which smothers nits and lice) and cut hair with nits. No joke, I spent HOURS picking through her hair. Thank God it was short hair! I ordered the comb with 2 day shipping and that is the only negative. I needed it ASAP! But once it arrived, it was a Godsend. I am very detailed and worked her hair over and over before the comb arrived. I didn't think there would be many left and the school nurse even checked her. Well, I started using the comb and SO many more nits came out! It was amazing. The instructions say to rinse after each comb through with nits but I just used a micro-fiber towel and that worked well. That was it, no more lice! Best $7 I have ever spent!

Fabulous Product! - D. Berube "water lov on Sep 21, 2010 I Like

We were horrified to discover my daughter had head lice! As well as myself!!! It is a very stressful and overwhelming process to deal with. A friend said we NEEDED to get a nit comb. As I searched on Amazon I was comforted by the many reviews people left for this particular product. We paid the extra to overnight it, and got to work the next day!! It was a few days of combing the hair with this comb, but we have been lice free since! Very happy and now feel experienced enough to help others!!!

This Little Comb Is Simply Amazng - David Duty on Aug 22, 2010 I Like

My nine year old daughter had a bad case of head lice. We tried most everything over a period of months to get ride of them with no success. We tried the chemical poisons from the drugstore with the cheap little plastic combs. We tried coconut oil, we tried just about everything you could find here in Panama. My wife would spend hours combing these little critters out of her hair and two or three days later there would be another 30 or 40 more. They just would not go away!

Then I started looking here on Amazon and reading the reviews by actual buyers which I feel is the best thing about Amazon. Seems like almost everyone had good things to say about this comb. I also got the spray on "shampoo" stuff that is made by the same company. I think you can even get them together as a kit.

The day before this new comb and mouse arrived my wife spent an hour or two getting these bugs out of her hair. She has really long hair that hangs down to her waist so you can imagine how long it takes to comb through it all. The next day this comb arrived and she followed the instructions and got 50 more that either hatched or the cheap little plastic comb missed the day before. She is amazed how well it works. She also said it gets the eggs out too!! The next day she look for more bugs and eggs and found just one. That's right just one!!! I'm sure if she does this a few more times over the next couple of weeks they will all be gone. Goodbye bugs.

For $12 or so this thing is worth it's weight in gold.

You Really Need This Comb! - Flatboat on Jan 8, 2010 I Like

I got lice when I got a haircut, and wasted 2 month with RID shampoo and NIX rinse. (Years ago: RID didn't work but finally NIX did, when my kids had them, but not on these new resistant bugs.) Here are my recommendations:

Get your hair cut as short as you can deal with (tip the stylist an extra $5 and tell them to clean up really well afterwards).

Throw out any of the plastic combs. They miss too many nits, break when you need them, and just waste your energy.

Get the Terminator comb. I also recommend the NIX metal comb (more later) but the NIX metal comb does not do as complete a job as the Nit Free Terminator. To use the Terminator, it has a slightly bigger gap at the end of the comb teeth. Therefore you need to hold it at a small angle from the scalp, otherwise you can miss nits close to the scalp. The gap between teeth is very small, so you have to comb slowly. Due to the grooves, I have to hold it at just the right angle to see the results, but thats OK. I like the NIX comb to use before the Terminator and to carry with me, since I can use it many times a day, it also has the same gap all the way to the ends of the comb teeth, and the tips are rounded to get down close to the scalp. Use frequently. In the morning I used the NIX comb in four directions (or maybe 6) and then repeated with the Terminator, which will still pull off a NIT when I believed there couldn't possibly be one left. I do think the foam to help dissolve the glue helps, but the comb is what is necessary.

After experimenting with many conditioners and styling gels, I finally found Root of Nature Shea Butter and Green Tea Moisturizer (from the Ethnic Products aisle at Wa1mart). I found I could put lots in, at night and after washing my hair in the morning, but my hair still looked normal and felt good. I think that acted as a repellent and particularly helped stopped any new Nits from getting a good bond.

And when you get rid of them, only use a more expensive salon where parents won't bring their lousy kids, and the stylists clean properly after each client.

The Only True Way To Get Rid Of Lice - Happy Mom on Dec 3, 2009 I Like

For months, I used the licemiester as well as cleaning and treating my house and family. This comb is sturdy and actually gets rid of all lice and nits. I would suggest this to any parent who struggles to get rid of lice. THIS IS THE BEST PRODUCTS!! Do not buy any other comb but this one.

Amazing!! - L. Ray on Oct 5, 2009 I Like

I ordered this product for a relative who is in elementary school. Her mother had used treatment after treatment on her daughter, and the lice would always come back. The school nurse recommended a comb that operates by battery, and that wasn't the answer, either. Since this comb was inexpensive, we thought it would be worth a try. After battling lice for a couple of years, the child has been lice free for months, now. Her mother uses the comb weekly as a precautionary measure, but hasn't had any problems since first using the comb. You do need to get all tangles out of the hair before trying to use the comb since it is so fine-toothed. Amazing product--especially for the price.

Worth Its Weight In Gold - Amazonian on Sep 17, 2009 I Like

After a very frustrating year of attempted lice treatments of all kinds, this is the only solution that has worked for my family. It was also the simplest and cheapest treatment.

In our experience there is absolutely no need for dangerous and costly chemicals to fight lice. I am shocked that the doctors I have spoken to seem unaware of the existence of this product, which, in my view, should be the very first treatment they recommend to patients, certainly before attempting highly toxic chemicals.

Solved The Problem! - C. Young "Movie love on Apr 30, 2009 I Like

This is all it took to get rid of those nasty littler buggers from my kids hair! I tried the "all natural" pesticides that cost upwards of $250 that didn't work at all. The trick is complete removal of lice and nits and this magic little comb gets it done. I recommend using this and only this, then washing all sheets remove all soft toys for 3 days, or just simply go somewhere for 3 days (lice can't live without a host longer than 72hrs)
and PROBLEM SOLVED! If you opt for the easier leaving method wash all clothes before you go and bring this comb for follow up treatments just to be safe. Worked like a charm!

This Product Has Been A Lifesaver!!! - Darlene L. Jansen "d on Jan 27, 2009 I Like

[...], I have tried a few Lice Combs in the past on my girls. The prices I paid was much higher than this, with very little results. You can't beat the price or the results, I would recommend this product 100%!
