The product must be treated with dry strands and wait 10 to 15 minutes. Then moisten with water and massage until a thick foam forms. After that, the hair should be thoroughly washed and combed out with a special comb.

Reviews of such shampoos vary, someParents note that the products cope with the tasks set perfectly. Other reviews say that the shampoos do not work at all. The lack of effect can be explained by repeated infection - you need to inspect and wash the child's bed linen, hats, treat combs and hairpins, and inspect other family members. If there is still no result after three treatments, the shampoo needs to be replaced. See also:
