I received the products mentioned here to facilitate  this review. I was not financially compensated for this post. My opinions are my own and not by any means influenced by any other part.

School is definitely the most probable place for your kids to get lice and this year it is particularly bad because lice have come back with a vengeance this school year. As you might have heard in the news, there is a new generation of lice out there.

Lice this year had been called super lice as these bugs are resistant to traditional lice treatment…Scary right? Lice was already a pain to get rid of and with this new “bread “ of super bugs, it is just a nightmare.

I had lice when I was in school and I remember the embarrassment and the stigma these little creatures can create so I have made it a point to prevent my daughter from getting lice.

Here is where the Rosemary Repel Lice Prevention Products from Fairy Tales Hair Care come in to play.

Rosemary Repel Lice Prevention Products from Fairy Tales Hair Care are designed to keep your kids lice free with a special formulation containing organic Rosemary, Citronella, Tea Tree and Geranium oils which are clinically proven effective to help prevent lice.

The anti-lice treatment consists of a few different steps. You can choose the product that best works for you. I received three of these products:

Rosemary Repel® Shampoo:

Has ingredients like Jojoba, Sugar Cane and Chamomile hydrate and it is gentile enough that it can be used on a daily basis. Actually, it does a really nice job with my daughter’s hair. I was afraid that it would leave her hair lifeless and dull, but the truth is that it actually does a great job with my daughter’s sometimes hard to control hair.
The shampoo is not too thick or watery, so it is easy to apply and goes on the hair very nicely. The Rosemary scent is the predominant scent on the shampoo, well actually in all of their products, so if you like Rosemary, you will love this lice prevention product line.

Rosemary Repel® Shampoo has a retail price of $12.99 for the 12oz bottle

Rosemary Repel® Creme Conditioner:

features a rich formula that includes a blend of organic Rosemary, Citronella, Tea Tree, along with Geranium oils that like the shampoo are ingredients proven to prevent lice.

The conditioner also has Passion Flower, Cherry Bark and Jojoba (love anything with Jojoba in it) and does a great job detangling my daughter’s hair making it easier to manage and control.

The Rosemary Repel® Creme Conditioner has a retail price of $12.99 for the 8oz bottle.

Also to prevent lice, they sent me the Rosemary Repel® Hair Spray:

Like the other two products from the line, the hair spray has organic Rosemary, Citronella, the hair spray and in addition, you will find Geranium and Sage and yes, these are proven to prevent lice.

The hair spray is the last step in this lice prevention process and it also one final shield against these creatures.
The hair spray is a lightweight formula that leaves no residue or build up so it does not feel sticky on my daughter’s hair.

Like the shampoo and conditioner, the hair spray is Free of sulfates, harsh chemicals and toxins.
The Rosemary Repel® Hair Spray has a retail price of $12.95 for the 8oz bottle.

And if somehow the lice made it to your home before you were able to protect your family with the Rosemary Repel Lice Prevention Products from Fairy Tales Hair Care, the brand also carries a “Lice Goodbye Line” including a Terminator Nit-Free Comb to get rid of the nits ( eggs).

The Terminator Nit-Free Comb features Micro-grooved teeth that allows for better removal of even the tiniest nit as they get swept away by the stainless steel long micro-grooved teeth with rounded edges to protect the scalp!
The Terminator Nit-Free comb has a retail price of $10.95.

I had a little Q&A with Lice expert  Risa Barash all you ever wanted or needed to know about lice!

What are lice?

Lice are small, six legged insects about the size of a sesame seed. They are grayish, whitish brown and can be found directly on the scalp. They need human blood to survive and can live for 30 days on your scalp. They are not dangerous, but bothersome. Common symptoms including itching, irritation and small red bumps. Lice infest regardless of social status and personal hygiene. They like CLEAN hair not dirty, as it’s easier to attach to an uncoated hair shaft.
How do I get them?

Lice are mostly spread through head-to-head contact. Lice infest children more than adults because they have more physical contact at that age.

Lice can survive up to 36 hours off the human head on clothing and other personal items such as hats, helmets, brushes, combs, hair ties, towels and head phones. They do not fly or jump. They crawl. Lice can also survive in water as they go into a state of suspended animation. Chlorine does not kill them. Pets do not carry the same type of head lice as children.
How fast do they reproduce?

Most of the eggs hatch within 7 to 11 days. To survive, a newly hatched louse must have a blood meal within minutes of birth. Developing lice, or nymphs, take about 7 to 10 days to mature; after an additional day, adult females start laying eggs.

How long do they live?

They can live for can live for 30 days on your scalp and up to 36 hours off the human head on clothing and other personal items such as hats, helmets, brushes, combs, hair ties, towels and head phones.

Tip #1 Teach + Practice Good Habits. Teach children not to share hats, combs, brushes, hair ties, pillows, sleeping bags, etc. as lice can survive up to 36 hours off the head. Going to a princess party? Wipe down the tiara first! Also, never share helmets or caps at sporting events.

Tip #2 Space It Out. At after school daycares or summer camps make sure to store jackets, backpacks and hats in separate cubbies or in a sealed bag. It’s also important to teach kids not to share their matt or pillow at night or during naptime.

Tip #3 Early Actions. Use lice prevention hair care products every day! Organic herbs such as rosemary, tea tree and citronella found in Fairy Tales Rosemary Repel® Shampoo & Conditioning Spray are proven safe, and effective ways to help repel lice.
