Nitty Gritty Comb

Nitty Gritty Comb About a year and a half ago I spotted the Nitty Gritty comb in my local pharmacy. The design of the comb immediately caught my attention because of its long metal teeth and the spiralled grooves which ran down the length of each tooth on the comb. Having three children in the house who have each had their fair share of nits in the past I decided to buy it incise we had another outbreak.

There are several things you dread when you become a parent.

Headlice, nits, call them what you will, it was my first ever encounter with this affliction and I was horrified, repulsed appalled and embarrassed....I hot- footed it down to the local chemist who informed my that they were rife round the local primary school, where many of our daughters' classmates have siblings and I came home with their prescription. I applied the first treatment as instructed. It didn't seem ... more

Nitty gritty Nit Free Comb A coouple of weeks ago, i felt compelled to try almost every product on the market when I found some of the dreaded head lice in little Miss’s hair. While I was treating it with one of the products, someone suggested this comb, so i decided to give it a go in the weeks interim between one application of the spray and the next... a kind of mid week fix! The comb proclaims itself to be the winner of the Daily telegraph family Friendly Award and comes with a lifetime guarantee.
