Terminator Nit-Free Comb

Honestly, there really isn't anything "special" or unique I found about this comb. It's meant for lice, and it seems to have done the job. Definitely not a FUN job, I mean, especially with a little girl with the thickest hair ever...... But that isn't the comb's fault.Good product, did the job, good quality, and I'd get it again based on the price point especially.

The Fairy Tales Terminator comb is more than just a lice and nit comb.It is also:- A high-quality, comfortable comb for combing out your hair,- A hair cleaning comb that gets what shampoos and brushes miss, and- A psycho-therapy comb.IT IS A PRECISION-ENGENEERED HIGH-QUALITY, COMFORTABLE COMBfor combing out your hair. The teeth are precisely aligned with smooth, rounded-tip teeth that can be run along your scalp without scratching. The teeth are varied in length to form a curved edge for better contact with your scalp at any angle. The comb is stainless steel, and will not rust or break.IT IS A HAIR CLEANING COMBthat gets what shampoos and brushes miss. It removes loose hair, dandruff, dust and other particles that often collect in brushes (especially those round brushes with a dozen bristles per socket). Run the comb through your hair, along the scalp, starting from the nape of the neck upward, and repeat for other areas. Clean the comb between strokes with a tissue, rinse, and wipe dry with a tissue.IT IS A PSYCHO-THERAPY COMBIt is an adjunct to treating lusphobic paranoia (fear of imagined lice), a condition that often follows recovery from a lice infestation. With this condition, every scalp itch is perceived as a potential head louse, and every spec of dust or dandruff as a nit. As itching spreads, the imagined re-infection spreads. Regular use of the Fairy Tales comb helps alleviate this condition, because the person feels that he or she is taking proactive action to ensure a lice-free life. The tips of the comb teeth also gently sooth the itchy spots, avoiding the more dangerous behavior of gouging one's scalp with finger nails.AND, OF COURSE, IT IS ALSO A LICE TREATMENT AND ONGOING PREVENTIVE COMB.The precision-aligned, long teeth with laser-cut micro spirals really do dislodge and damage nits and sweep away lice. Works much better than the small, sharp-edged plastic combs that come with lice treatment kits. Note that, like any comb, this comb can dislodge scabs from bite sites. If that happens, just apply a drop of antiseptic, and the site should heal quickly.

The comb really makes a difference. This one really gets all of the lice and nits out. We had originally purchased a CVS brand that came with the treatment oil and it did ok but missed much more than the Fairy Tales Terminator. Got all the tiny nits and young lice out with this comb.The colored grippy plastic pieces that run along the top really do help quite a bit when you are working with the oil or creme treatment. It is one of those nice options that you never knew you needed until you have it. There is a school play coming up and we will be sure to use their Rosemary Repel Conditioning Spray on the days where my child has dress rehearsals and the play as she has to wear a shared hat. Lice seems to be going around the school....Initially there was a slight defect to the original comb that arrived which did not affect the performance of what it had to do. I sent a quick email about it and a picture. I was not returning since I needed to use the comb right away and for the next few days. No questions asked they sent a replacement. With such a small item and a product that is more of a necessity, if you are buying one you pretty much need it asap, I honestly did not even expect a response. Wonderful customer service on top of a product that really works. With lice one does not want to waste time or effort since it is such a draining process.

There is no way we would have gotten rid of our child's lice without this comb. This was our first and hopefully last experience with these nasty little bugs. The plastic combs that come with the treatments are a joke and do not comb out all the nits. After trying for 3 straight days separating hair, combing and cutting nits out twice a day there were still nits being found after i thought we had them all. So I ordered this as a precaution and had next day delivery. Thank goodness I did. When we used this comb there were over 30 more nits combed out that I could not see and would have hatched starting this nightmare all over again. I used this comb daily until we made it to 14 days after the 1st lice treatment and never found anymore lice or nits since using this comb. Just make sure to use a good detangler or olive oil which really worked well to loosen the nits too (shampoo with dawn dish detergent to remove) and comb tangles out before using this comb because the teeth are very close together and will pull hair out if not. We have been lice free for 3 months now. What worked for us to prevent reinfestation was the initial treatment, this comb everyday for 1st 14 days, cleaned and washed everything, vacuumed floors and furniture daily, washed bedding everyday for 2 weeks, bagged all toys that couldn't be washed in hot water and dried in a hot dryer for 4 weeks, and a designated seat for use only for our child with lice in the living room with a sheet put down and washed daily, all combs thrown away and purchased replacements. We also put our childs clothes and coat straight in the washer from school knowing there was a chance of this coming home again. We were taking no chances on having to go through this again and it worked. Good luck to all that has to go through this nightmare.
