3 steps to effective treatment

Step 3: Prevent

Once head lice have been effectively eradicated, no one will want them back. To help make sure they don't make an unwelcome return, you can recommend a repellent spray for daily use.

Lyclear Repellent

  • A non-greasy, leave-in spray
  • Can be used every day
  • Offers up to 24-hour protection
  • Scientifically proven to protect against head lice
  • Suitable from 12 months of age.

Further advice

  • Even when using a repellent, customers should still check for head lice regularly (see Step 1) as part of a healthy hair care routine.
  • Lyclear Repellent Spray is an insect repellent. Use insect repellents safely. Always read the label and product information before use.
