Head lice can turn into a stressful household crisis overnight-and many parents’ first instinct is to run to the drugstore for an over-the-counter (OTC) solution. Unfortunately, these treatments often fail to deliver real results. At Nurtured Noggins, we’ve seen it time and time again: frustrated families wasting time, money, and energy on products that simply don’t work.
Here’s why OTC lice treatments frequently fail-and why professional lice removal is a smarter, faster, and safer choice.
- Lice Have Built Up Resistance
Today’s lice are not the same as they were 20 years ago. Dubbed “super lice,” these bugs have developed resistance to the active ingredients in many popular drugstore treatments. According to multiple studies, chemical-based OTC products like permethrin and pyrethrin are no longer effective on over 80% of lice cases in the U.S.
This means that even after following the instructions perfectly, you could still be left with live lice-and the cycle begins again.
- Harsh Chemicals Can Be Harmful
Most OTC lice shampoos contain pesticides, which may cause scalp irritation, allergic reactions, and even breathing problems, especially in children. Despite their strong scent and stinging ingredients, these products don’t actually kill lice eggs (nits), meaning reinfestation is almost guaranteed. At Nurtured Noggins, we never use harmful chemicals. Every product we apply is professional-grade, gentle on the scalp, and proven to work-without the harsh side effects.
- DIY Treatments Can Be Time-Consuming and Incomplete
OTC treatments often come with confusing instructions and require hours of tedious combing every day for weeks. Most families aren’t trained to detect every nit or know how to fully clear an infestation. This leads to missed eggs and recurring outbreaks.
At Nurtured Noggins, we’ve mastered the one-and-done method. With 15+ years of experience, we eliminate every louse and nit in just one visit, followed by a quick recheck. No guessing, no stress.
