It has been reported.

I can't believe how you can once you've made a mistake attempt to turn it around!

Yeah, right, you set a trap, (you claim), well no actually you showed yourself up again,

Who is wrong? The person answering, or the fool that feels a need to set traps, don't bother answering I already know it must be my fault, please feel assured, now that you have reached your dotage, we the members of accyweb will treat you with the care that you so obviously deserve.

Isn't there a lotion, to get rid of nits?

emamum · 06-09-2008, 17:53

theres loads but they are building immunity to them so they dont always work.... wet combing (with a nit comb while you have conditioner on your hair) if fairly effective.

Soap and water gets rid of sticky jam marks, never tried it on a whole jam butty but I am sure it will work.

He got uppity when I suggested his wardrobe included such garments. If you had mentioned a certain brand of petroleum jelly it's most likely he would have wet 'em, never mind twisted 'em.

Ugh, this thread is deteriorating fast and I think I will have to report it, in the interests of good taste and hygiene.

Would you fumigate the tools used?

I used to be a hairdresser.

If a customer had headlice (headlice are the crawlers, nits are the eggs) then I would notice before I even shampooed them as I always did a consultation first to see what they wanted doing to their hair.

This involved taking their hair down if it was tied back, examining the way the hair falls and checking where they have a parting if they have one.
Headlice would be noticed during this process.

I would quietly make the customer aware and apologise that I could not work on their hair today. I would advise them on how to treat the problem and tell them to come back when the headlice had gone.

I would put the comb I used for combing through their hair in barbicide for a few hours and this would kill off any headlice which had got on the comb.

I would have thought that, if you've reached adulthood, you'd know if you had headlice. I have a vague memory of having nits when I was 7 and, staying with my aunt in Whitley Bay, much to her chagrin and assurances to my mother that I must have caught them from a Scottish child I'd played with on the beach. I seem to remember they itch. If so, I would not present myself at the hairdressers for a cut and blow until I was sure I was no longer infested.

This only ever happened to me once, took my 2 to Guy Christophers, (God rest him) when they were small, and one of them had nits. Used to check them on a regular basis. But not noticed as they hadn't been scratching, so must have been caught recently. Dawn, the hairdresser, took me to one side and told me, but she continued to cut his hair. Common sense comes into it sometimes. Nits only like clean hair after all.

Thanks Dawn!!!

Would have thought stuff had to be sterilised after each cutting...you can have dirty hair and not have nits?

Caz · 06-09-2008, 20:54

Should have said lice prefer clean hair!

The customer may not be aware if they only had a few lice.....some are aware but they aren't too shy to go to the hairdresser.

That's right. Combs lived in barbicide and were rinsed before being used.
