Couldn't load pickup availability
Nitty Gritty Natural Aromatherapy Head Lice Solution 150ml is a natural, oil-based solution designed to aid the detection and removal of head lice, nits and eggs through thorough combing.
Rather than acting like a conventional chemical head lice treatment, Nitty Gritty Solution is specifically formulated to make wet combing easier and more effective. The solution helps immobilise live head lice, making it more difficult for them to move around the scalp while combing, while also helping loosen the natural glue that attaches head lice eggs to the hair shaft.
The 100% natural aromatherapy formula contains a blend of botanical oils including Neem, Tea Tree, Lavender, Eucalyptus, Rosemary and Geranium, together with Wheatgerm and Grapeseed Oils. As well as assisting with lice removal, the conditioning oil base allows a nit comb to glide smoothly through the hair and helps leave hair feeling soft, shiny and conditioned.
Each 150ml bottle provides approximately 3–6 applications depending on hair length and thickness and is supplied with a standard plastic nit comb. For particularly thorough removal, Nitty Gritty recommends pairing the solution with its separately available NitFree Comb.
Pharmacist Summary
Nitty Gritty Head Lice Solution differs from many conventional lice treatments because its primary role is to assist thorough mechanical removal. It immobilises lice and helps loosen eggs while providing enough lubrication for a nit comb to move easily from root to tip. The most important part of treatment is careful, systematic combing of the entire head to physically remove lice and eggs.

Who is it suitable for?
Ideal for families looking for a natural, combing-based approach to removing head lice and eggs. Its conditioning oil formula is particularly helpful when combing through long, thick, curly or easily tangled hair.
How to use
First brush or comb through dry hair to remove any tangles.
Apply Nitty Gritty Aromatherapy Head Lice Solution directly to the dry hair and distribute thoroughly from the roots to the ends, making sure the hair is completely saturated.
Leave the solution on the hair for 20 minutes. This allows the solution to help immobilise the lice and loosen the attachment of eggs to the hair.
After 20 minutes, divide longer hair into manageable sections and carefully comb from the scalp through to the ends using the supplied nit comb or a suitable fine-toothed head lice comb. Clean the comb between passes and continue systematically until the entire head has been thoroughly combed.
