For treating a lice infestation, I recommend using **Nix** (Permethrin) shampoo or **Rid** (Piperonyl butoxide and Pyrethrum extract) shampoo. Follow the instructions on the packaging for proper application. Additionally, make sure to comb out the dead lice and nits from the hair using a fine-toothed comb.
