Combing your head, you can bring another infection through these wounds. That is why it is important to start the fight for the purity of the head as early as possible. One effective remedy that kills adults is Full Marks. The instruction advises to apply it for 10-15 minutes and then rinse thoroughly, several times with shampoo.
Nit removal
But the live louse is part of the problem. The worst thing is the nits. An adult female lays up to several hundred eggs, which are attached to the hair, and after 10 days new individuals appear from them. It is important to remove them in time.

That is why the manufacturers of the product warn about the possible re-application of the solution to the hair.in a week.
Composition of the drug "Full Marks"
The Full Marx solution contains 2 active substances - isopropyl myristate and cyclomethicone. Isopropyl myristate is an oily liquid obtained from light petroleum fractions. In cosmetics, it is used as an emollient, a substance that retains moisture in the skin. It prevents it from evaporating. However, it cannot be applied in its pure form, since it causes blockage of the sebaceous glands, thereby causing the appearance of black dots. Cyclomethicone in the composition of the solution is designed to reduce the lubricity of isopropyl myristate and soften the action of the components of the solution. Both of these components do not penetrate deep into the skin and do not have a negative impact on the processes inside the body. That is why the drug is recommended for children from 5 years old, as well as pregnant and lactating women.

The drug is available as a solution or spray of 100 and 150 ml. If you buy in a set, then a comb is attached to it. The comb can also be purchased separately.
