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.
