Hedrin Headlice Solution

I have just had my first experience with headlice! After finding my 5 year old son itching I checked his head and my fears were confirmed when I found headlice. I always thought I would never be able to tell what headlice were but when you see them it is suprising how big they are, urgh!

Ok, I am finally at my wits end! This is the 7th and I swear as long as I have breath in my body, the flaming last time I am going to sit for 3 hours, going through my children's hair for chuffing nits!! If you, like me, have got children at primary or even middle school I am sure you will have encountered these little blighters once or twice...... once or twice I could cope with, but as I mentioned earlier this is the 7th time.......... Since September! I do like to think that I play fair, kid's wise, I check my children's hair regularly, treating as soon as I detect any movement, but I get the feeling that not everyone is so ...  Read the complete review
