Nitty Gritty Defense Spray 250ml

Nitty Gritty Conditioning Head Lice Defence Spray 250ml is a daily conditioning spray designed to help discourage head lice from migrating onto the hair while keeping hair soft, shiny, fresh and easy to detangle.

Ideal for use during school, nursery, play dates and other occasions where children are in close contact, the spray uses a carefully selected blend of ingredients with a fresh grapefruit fragrance. Nitty Gritty explains that head lice use their sense of smell to identify a new host, while the Defence Spray helps interfere with this process and encourages lice to remain on their existing host.

The conditioning formula contains Grapefruit Peel Oil, Lavender Oil, Tea Tree Oil and Neem Seed Oil, together with Panthenol and Glycerin to help condition the hair. It is also pesticide-free and can be incorporated easily into the family's everyday hair routine.

Pharmacist Summary

Nitty Gritty Defence Spray is designed for use when the hair is already free from head lice. It is not a treatment for an existing infestation. Check the hair regularly using an appropriate detection comb, particularly when head lice are circulating at school or nursery. If live lice are found, treat or mechanically remove the infestation before beginning regular use of the Defence Spray.
