How to use
Please read the enclosed leaflet carefully before use.
The spray comes ready assembled. Before use remove the coloured safety clip from under the spray nozzle. This may be retained or disposed of safely.
- Cover the shoulders with a towel.
- Be careful not to spray into eyes and face, and do not breathe the spray.
- Holding the spray approximately 10cm from the hair carefully spray sufficient solution evenly over dry hair to ensure that the scalp and hair are fully covered and the hair is saturated.
- Work into the hair with the fingers or an ordinary comb spreading the liquid evenly from the roots to tips. Allow hair to dry naturally.
- Leave on the hair for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- Wash hair with normal shampoo, rinse thoroughly with water and dry.
- It is important that Hedrin is applied again after seven days to deal with any untreated eggs which may hatch in that time. Failure to repeat the process may result in the return of a louse infestation.
Do not continue using Hedrin if a skin rash or other signs of hypersensitivity occur.
