Ugh! I wish some topics never existed. But head lice, unfortunately, is a sad reality of our otherwise #FabulousMomLife. No use running away from it! After some really annoying battles, I finally found the perfect and sure shot remedy for lice in children. Sharing with you mommies who are in the same boat, the best lice treatment in India.
I have two girls and I am no stranger to head lice. Heck, I have known it since I was a little girl myself! The worst part about head lice is how quickly they multiply and then spread to everyone else’s head in the family. There was this crazy time when all 3 of my kids had their heads infested with lice (yes, the little one too!) and even I was beginning to scratch my head now and then.
The lice comb did its job dutifully twice a day, every day but the lice simply wouldn’t end. And it was really painful to see the baby have to deal with it too! I shaved my son’s head off (desperate times, desperate measures…lol) but the girls simply would not agree to it. Well, I wouldn’t have either, so I cannot blame them really.
Lice Treatments in India that I tried
Here are some things that I tried:
- Mediker Shampoo
- Mediker Hair Oil
- Neem Oil
- Lice Comb
- Baby Hair Oil
- Coconut Oil
- Bakson’s Sunny Anti-Lice Shampoo
I did not use Lycil as it is said to be unsafe for kids. Everything brought mild results. The stubborn head lice simply refused to end. Mediker oil does a great job of almost clearing all the lice but is not effective on nits (rub LOADS of it into the hair and scalp and leave overnight – cheap and effective). The nits (lice eggs) were impossible to deal with and kept growing into new lice. And that’s when I found the magic potion!
The Best Lice Treatment in India that Wipes Off Nits too!
I was looking on my trusted Amazon for anti-lice products and came upon this German product called ‘NYDA’ (link at the end of post). Most of the NYDA reviews said that it worked like magic so I decided to give it a try. By this time I was so tired of combing out head lice that I would have been ready to try anything that promised even half the results. But this product claimed to remove nits too! It was certainly worth a try.
The product was costlier than most of the others (INR 599 for 2 bottles) but it promised great results. And does it deliver or what! All the Lice as well as the Nits went lifeless after application! Many reviewers mention that they were able to get rid of the lice in one application only. I guess I was dealing with a much more serious infestation. It took twice for the treatment to completely eradicate the head lice.
NYDA Lice Treatment Review
NYDA Lice Treatment came very well recommended but I was very, very nervous to try it out at first. It always happens to moms when they are about to try a new product on their kids. I wanted to be very sure that the oil was not too strong to cause any side effects on my children. I used it on my eldest first as hers was the most severe case of head lice which had affected the others too.
NYDA comes in a bottle and has a separate spray nozzle and a lice comb with it. You need to open the cap, fix the spray nozzle on the bottle and spray the liquid all over the head thoroughly. Make sure you use plenty of it and leave no spot untouched.
After leaving it overnight, comb out the dead lice and nits (yes, nits too!) using the comb included. Do not any other comb. You might think you have the best lice comb, but seriously, you haven’t seen the best yet. This close-toothed lice comb is made of very good quality plastic and does the best job of combing out lice.
On combing out the next day, I found all the lice dead but a few nits remaining. Just as I had expected, the remaining nits grew into lice again. NYDA recommends one more final use after 8 days, if the first use was not enough. I repeated after 8 days, and after this, the lice were completely eradicated.
Final Thoughts
It took only one use to remove the head lice from my son’s hair. I was very paranoid of using it on my 1 year old. I lightly sprayed her hair with NYDA and it worked it’s magic there too. All the lice were gone in one single use. It took me a total of both the bottles on all the 3 kids (and the remaining spray on myself). The INR 599 spent on it now seemed more than worth it.
It has been 6 months since using it and the lice isn’t back yet. Even if it does, I know what I am supposed to do. Either nip the problem in the bud as soon as it arises, or buy a pack of NYDA. It is indeed the best lice treatment in India. No more fretting with the lice comb now.
