INTRODUCTION

Head lice are tiny, wingless insects. When fully grown, they’re similar in size to a sesame seed. Because they can’t survive the cold, they cling to our hair, keeping close to the warmth of our heads. Head lice are harmless ­ though they can cause your children to get an itchy scalp. Head lice have been making a nuisance of themselves for thousands of years. Fortunately, getting rid of them nowadays need only take a ten minutes treatment time!

Gima electric lice comb is one viable option to consider in the quest of eradicating head lice so they will stop spreading through your family member’s hair and scalp. It is certainly no secret that an infestation of lice can make life difficult for everyone in the household, but thanks to modern technology — an electric lice comb, the process of getting rid of these pests can be just a lot easier.

SPECIAL FEATURES
