How to use
3 simple steps to kill head lice and eliminate their eggs.
Remember, if someone in the household has head lice, it is recommended that all members are checked as headlice are spread by close head to head contact. This can be done with a detector comb with plastic teeth which are widely available from your pharmacy. Treating everyone with head lice on the same day will minimise the chances of re-infestation.
Step 1 - Treat
You should apply enough solution to cover the scalp and hair to ensure complete success. First, comb through dry hair with a normal comb to remove any tangles. Shake the bottle and apply the solution to dry hair by applying the solution close to the root. Ensure the entire scalp and hair are fully coated with the solution. Massage in and leave on the hair for 5 minutes.
Step 2 - Comb
After 5 minutes, comb through the hair using the fine-toothed Full Marks Removal Comb provided to remove dead lice and any eggs. After each stroke, rinse the comb to remove any hair, lice and eggs and wipe it on a tissue.

TIP: To ensure a thorough job, divide the hair into four quarters and comb each quarter separately. Take a small section of hair from the quarter; place the teeth of the comb as close as you can to the scalp and comb downwards away from the head to the tips of the hair. Once an area of hair is free of lice and eggs push it to one side and continue until the quarter is completely clear.
Step 3 - Rinse
Once you have finished the treatment, wash out the solution using an ordinary non – conditioning shampoo. Conditioner is not necessary. It may be necessary to wash the hair a couple of times to completely remove the solution.
Repeat above steps on days 7 and 14 if necessary.

Each application requires approximately 50ml of solution to treat a head lice infection on one head. However, you should apply enough to cover scalp and hair from root to tip to ensure complete success. Longer and/or thicker hair may require more solution.
Used according to the instructions, Full Marks Solution and removal comb will kill head lice and eliminate eggs. Unlike traditional head lice treatments which poison the lice, Full Marks Solution has a physical action on the lice causing them to dehydrate (lose water) and die. They can then be removed along with any eggs using the Full Marks Removal Comb supplied.
Should a member of your family need treatment with Full Marks Solution, check other members of your family for live lice and treat if necessary.

If the headlice solution comes into contact with the skin (other than the scalp) or the eyes, it can be washed away with warm water. However, if you experience any sensitivity, discontinue use and please tell your doctor or pharmacist who will advise you on the necessary action to take.
If you are undergoing treatment for an existing scalp or skin condition, please seek medical advice before use.
Avoid contact with eyes.
For external use only.
Do not use the comb if it is broken or the teeth are missing.
