The Real Cost of DIY Lice Treatments

March 4, 2018

When it comes to head lice treatment, many people opt for a DIY approach rather than hire a professional lice removal service.  A DIY approach may seem convenient and affordable, but it really isn’t. The process of picking lice and nits is an exhausting one. In fact, it’s difficult to check lice as the small wingless parasites are glued to the hair strands.

But, more than that, over-the-counter lice removal products typically don’t work in the long run. Many families end up wasting a lot of money on getting over-the-counter lice removal products, which consists of harmful chemicals that pose a danger to our health.

Here is an outline of the approximate cost of DIY lice removal:

1.The average cost of a lice shampoo is around $45, depending on the brand you purchase. Low quality brands are ineffective.

2.The average cost of lice combs is between $7 and $45. Inferior combs do not last long.

3.Replacement of essential hair accessories, such as combs, brushes, towels can cost you around $50-75.

4.Lice can cause an itchy scalp. Sometimes, itching contributes to skin allergies and infections-treatment, such as cellulitis, impetigo and piedra infection. In such a case, you will need to see a doctor. You can add the costs of diagnosis and antibiotics to the list.

Besides the monetary cost of DIY lice treatment, it’s important to consider the physiological impact of lice and nits, particularly on children. Having lice can make anyone feel uncomfortable and irritable.

If your child has lice infestation, they won’t be allowed to stay at school. Imagine the embarrassment and isolation your child would have to face when they return to school. Children with head lice are easy targets for bullies. The social stigma around lice must stop.

Having head lice doesn’t mean a child has a life-threatening disease. Similarly, contrary to popular opinion, louse is not a sign of poor hygiene. In fact, lice can live in dirty and clean hair both.
