Elimax Shp 250 Ml

How do you use Elimax® shampoo?

STEP 1: Spread the shampoo onto dry hair

Wrap a towel around the shoulders and neck to prevent the product dripping onto skin and clothes. Use the easy applicator to apply Elimax® shampoo directly onto the scalp. Be sure to cover the hair and scalp completely. Massage well from roots to tips, paying particular attention to the area behind the ears and the hairline at the back of the head. Leave the product on for 15 minutes while combing (see step 2). Do not cover the hair .

STEP 2: Comb the hair right after applying Elimax®

Carefully combing the hair with the fi ne-toothed Elimax® lice comb will further increase the success rate of the treatment.

Comb through the hair with an ordinary comb to get rid of the tangles.

Divide the hair into 4 sections: from the forehead to the nape, and from one ear to another.

Next, comb the hair in each section with the fi ne toothed Elimax® lice comb, starting as close as possible to the head. Always comb from the top of the head to the bottom.

Regularly wipe o¢ the comb with a cotton pad to remove collected lice and nits. Comb each lice/nit-free tress over to

the other side.

STEP 3: Wash the hair after 15 minutes (including combing time)

First, apply a little water to the treated hair and work up a lather (foam). Rinse out the foam thoroughly using plenty of water. The product is easier to rinse out with lukewarm water. Take care to ensure that the product does not get into the eyes. There is no need to wash the hair again with regular shampoo.

Dry the hair thoroughly using a towel. Do not use a hair dryer. If the treatment is applied in the evening, make sure the hair is completely dry when going to bed. Check the hair after 7 days. In the majority of cases, a single treatment is su. cient. If lice are still present after 7 days, repeat the treatment.

When should you use Elimax® shampoo?

When you suspect a lice infestation: use Elimax® shampoo. Check the hair after 7 days. If lice are still present after 7 days, repeat the treatment. To protect against (re)infestation: Elimax® shampoo can be used regularly as a preventive measure.
