Learning that someone in your home has lice can feel overwhelming—but we have a plan. Follow the 7-10 day lice elimination process to help nip the lice infestation in the…bug.
First: Comb out Lice & Eggs
Then: Treat the Home
If you see eggs or live lice before day seven, Comb Out Lice & Eggs again.
Recheck hair and repeat the process if necessary. The RID® MAX Complete Lice Removal Kit may be safely used as often as needed.
*Super lice are like regular lice, but they’ve developed resistance to common over-the-counter treatments. The RID MAX Complete Lice Removal Kit is 100% effective at getting RID of lice, super lice, and eggs with the RIDvantage® Lice Comb. Based on laboratory combing study by trained testers.
Carefully inspect everyone’s hair in the household for lice every day for at least two weeks to make sure you have the lice infestation under control.
If you’re using the RID® Lice Treatment Complete Kit, the first step is to shampoo the hair (see below). If you’re using RID® MAX Complete Lice Removal Kit, there is no shampooing step. So you can skip to Comb Out Lice & Eggs. >
When using RID® Lice Killing Shampoo, proper lice elimination requires two shampooing rounds, with the second shampooing within Days 7-10 to kill any newly hatched lice.
To apply the shampoo, follow the directions on the package, including:
Use a towel around the eyes of the person receiving the lice treatment to prevent shampoo from getting into their eyes and to keep their clothes from getting wet.
See the Usage Guidelines chart on this page or the product packaging to estimate how much product you will need.
Use warm water to form a lather, shampoo, and then rinse thoroughly. After rinsing, you can follow with regular shampoo if you wish.

Combing is a crucial but also tedious step. A good lice comb and a hair detangling aid can significantly reduce combing time and excessive pulling or tearing. While often underestimated, combing time can range between 1 and 8 hours, depending on the length of hair.
Before starting, have on hand:
And you may want to find a distraction for your child (e.g., books, T.V., a game).
Comb out hair with a regular wide-tooth comb to take out snarls and tangles.
If using RID MAX Complete Lice Removal Kit, apply RID® MAX Conditioning Solution liberally to dry or wet hair to make combing easier.
If using RID Lice Treatment Complete Kit, section hair and generously apply RID® Lice & Egg Comb-Out Spray as you detangle by section. Do not apply to the entire head at once, since the product dries quickly.
Use the patented RIDvantage Lice Comb* that comes with the RID® MAX Complete Lice Removal Kit -or- the RID® Lice Comb that comes with the RID® Lice Treatment Complete Kit.
*The RIDvantage Lice Comb is 100% effective at eliminating lice and super lice, including their eggs, as demonstrated in a laboratory combing study by trained testers.
When done, remove all pins or hair clips and rinse the hair thoroughly with warm water. You may also wash with regular shampoo.
When using the RID Lice Treatment Complete Kit: if you see eggs or live lice before Day Seven, comb out lice & eggs again. But it’s unnecessary to comb between shampooings, as these lice are not mature enough to lay eggs and will be eliminated when you shampoo again in 7 to 10 days.
