FAQs
What are Nitty Gritty products used for?
Nitty Gritty products on this page are aimed at head lice and nit care, including a nit comb for checking and wet-combing and a defence spray to support preventative routines.
How do I use a nit comb for wet-combing?
Wet the hair, apply conditioner, and comb methodically in small sections from root to tip. Wipe the comb between passes and repeat regularly. Always follow the product’s instructions for the best way to use that specific comb.
How often should I check for head lice and nits?
Many families check weekly as a routine and more often during outbreaks at school or nursery. Consistent checking helps you spot issues early and decide on the next steps.
Is a defence spray the same as a head lice treatment?
A defence spray is generally used as part of a prevention routine. If you think you have an active infestation, speak to a pharmacist about suitable options and follow the instructions on any product you choose.
Are Nitty Gritty products suitable for children?
Suitability can vary by product and age. Read the label carefully and ask a pharmacist for advice if you’re buying for younger children, or if there’s sensitive skin or scalp irritation.
What if the item I want is sold out?
Stock can change quickly during peak periods. Check the brand page again, or ask a pharmacist about alternatives that may be appropriate for your needs.
When should I ask a pharmacist or GP for help?
Ask for advice if you’re unsure what to use, if there’s significant redness, soreness, or broken skin, or if the problem keeps recurring. A pharmacist can guide you on safe options; contact your GP or NHS 111 if symptoms are severe or concerning.
Safety note: Use head lice and nit products only as directed on the packaging. Avoid contact with eyes and do not apply to broken or irritated skin unless the product specifically states it is suitable. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a skin condition, or are buying for a young child, ask a pharmacist for personalised advice. If you are worried at any point, contact your GP or NHS 111.
