How to use Hedrin

Hedrin is a two-dose treatment. In order to eradicate head lice a second dose of Hedrin should be applied 7 days after the first to deal with any eggs which may have hatched.

If re-infestation does occur, Hedrin may be used again immediately.

Dead lice can be washed or brushed out easily after treatment and any nits (empty egg cases) can be removed with the fingers or fine toothed comb.

Application Instructions

Hedrin should be applied to dry hair. The hair should be fully covered with Hedrin from roots to tip. A second treatment after 7 days effectively deals with hatched eggs.

Hedrin 4% Lotion

Should be left to dry for 8 hours or overnight.

The active ingredient (Dimeticone) is carried in Cyclomethicone (a silicone commonly used in hair conditioners) which evaporates, leaving the Dimeticone coating the louse.

Because the hair dries off, it is not at all unpleasant to leave the lotion on. Hedrin is then easily washed out.

Hedrin Liquid Gel

This has been specially formulated with non-volatile  ingredients and should be left on the hair for at least 1 hour (or longer if more convenient).

Wash the hair thoroughly with a non-conditioning shampoo.  For best results apply the shampoo directly to the hair without wetting it.  Hedrin Liquid Gel contains anti-foaming ingredients so the shampoo will not lather readily.

How much will I need?

A little Hedrin goes a long way. The amount needed depends entirely upon the length of hair to be treated. A 50ml bottle should be sufficient for a two-dose treatment of short hair. Longer hair or multiple treatments will require a larger bottle.
