I'll Give It Full Marks 02/07/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages works
Disadvantages smells a bit

When the dreaded nits word enters your house there's not a lot you can do except go out and get something to get rid of them. As my eldest daughter was growing up, she was frequently catching head lice at school. The fact she had long thick hair didn't help much at all. As there were so many products on the market it was difficult to know what to buy, and with all the claims that the head lice were becoming immune to the products as we as a population were using products too much, it was even more confusing. I went through a phase of treating the head lice daily with a wet conditioned hair and ... more

Nitty Norah On Nit Patrol 04/06/2007

Advantages Eliminates lice and eggs in only 10 minutes
Disadvantages None that I've found

Head Lice, more often referred to as ‘Nits!’ are part of every day life and affect most of us at some stage in our lives and more often than not they’ll strike during childhood. Unfortunately for my daughter she has given refuge to these irritating little so and so’s quite a few times since starting school and now that she’s 9 I can say that I’ve had a fair amount of practise at the nit-combing technique (aren’t you just jealous?) along with a fair few products on the market that ‘claim’ to either deter or better still eliminate either the head lice, the eggs or bingo BOTH! Now I’ve tried a ... more

full marks for full marks 22/11/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages done the job well, no smell
Disadvantages oily

it was my unfortunate pleasure to have come into contact with the common head louse a few weeks back. My kids got them, at a party, and it is an unpleasant experience for all. You feel dirty and creepy, when actually the opposite is true. Lice cannot tell the difference between clean hair and dirty hair, and actually find it easier to grip on to clean hair. what you need to know - 1. they are basically harmless. What you feel in the itch is not them crawling about on you, but rather an allergic reaction to the louse saliva as it chomps down on your scalp. 2. They cannot jump or fly. They are ... more

Bring back the nit nurses!!!! 01/07/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages Quick and easy to use.
Disadvantages Bit pricey!

Anyone with chidren of a certain age,(primary school age!!!), know that the dreaded headlice is part and parcel of school life. My poor daughter has had, since starting school 18 months ago, headlice 7 times!! So to say that i was happy that there was a product out there that, was extremely effective and quick and easy to use, would be a slight understatement!!!! First some information on the little blighters!!!! >> Headlice come out of the air or from out of the ground. They are human parasites and have probably been here since the beginning of time and have even been found on the scalp and ... more

Stop scratching! 04/02/2006

User recommends the product

Advantages gets rid of the pesky pests fast
Disadvantages can be used only if you see a live on...eek!!

"ELIMINATES HEAD LICE AND THEIR EGGS" After years of teaching and watching these little creatures crawl about children's heads while they (the children), scratch uncontrollably, I am ever prepared for the onslaught of the head lice. With this in mind, my hair is always tied back and I try very hard not to go "head to head". My two boys managed to get them once each, probably because they had very short hair, but Little Miss has managed to get head lice within 3 months of being at school. Normal day, come home to see her writhing at her head and yes, there was the little army…small but ... more

Almost full marks for full marks solution 26/10/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages works well, quick and easy to use
Disadvantages drips everywhere, greasy

Almost full marks for full marks solution My daughter has lovely hair and head lice obviously think so too because she inevitably comes home from school with them at least once a year. I have spent time working in nurseries and schools and I have on occasion also found that I have gotten head lice. This means I have had plenty of experience with different products designed to get rid of head lice. One of my very early reviews was written about Hedrin, which is very similar to this product and I still think it's great but the price of Full Marks tempted me to try this one instead. The box and ... more

Full marks from me! 22/03/2013

User recommends the product

Advantages Only need to leave 10 minutes, effective
Disadvantages None

My daughter started going to nursery around a year ago now and despite having short hair, she caught nits within the first month or two of going. I had no idea what you could do to get rid of them or what to buy so asked around and Full Marks was recommended by the majority of everyone I asked and is now recommended by me too. The Full Marks solution is quite widely available to purchase from supermarkets and chemists. The last time I bought it I think I paid around £4 for a 100ml bottle. It is available to purchase in a bigger bottle too, should you need it. The packaging is quite simple, the ... more

No traditional pesticides in Full Marks 24/10/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages Got rid of my lice
Disadvantages I had head lice

I went into my local Lloyds chemist looking for a solution to one of the problems that I sometimes get directly from working with children…… Healice. Over my 40 years of work in early childhood situations I have tried many remedies. Lotions, potions and the good old Nitty gritty comb. I usually comb through my hair with good old Nittty gritty and conditioner till I am rid of the varmints in my locks. However I felt I wanted to try Full marks solution. S o the nice Lloyds chemist at the bottom of my street sold me some full marks solution for £10.69, having looked on line if I had bought in ... more

Full Marks Solution = no marks in long hair test 12/11/2006

User recommends the product

Advantages Smelled okay, non toxic
Disadvantages slippery, doesn't kill head lice and their eggs, hard to wash out

Well, I have 2 children. Both boys with short hair. My eldest is 9 and the youngest is 2 and I would've thought that with their short hair we wouldn't have to contend with these nasty little critters that are such a pain to get rid of and yet, we always seem to get them here at least once a year. I dont' think it would be too bad if I didn't have such long hair. It's down to the middle of my back and when I start itching my head I know I'm in for long and depressing few weeks. Normally I use products that have an insecticide in them like Permithrin or Malathion but this time around my youngest ... more

Not as nasty as the remedies when I was a kid. 27/09/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages kills eggs and nits, without harsh pesticides, works in 10 minutes.
Disadvantages Not the most pleasant ten minutes you will spend, but it works which is the main thing.

I have been quite lucky with my children, as although they have both been round other kids a lot, attending a private nursery and then in September 2010 my eldest started nursery, and in September 2011 my youngest started nursery and my eldest started full time school. We did well to avoid the dreaded nits even though they were about until last October, and then more recently last weekend. The first time they got nits, my husband was away working, and I discovered this about 3pm on a Sunday afternoon. I rang my sister as I knew she was out shopping, and asked her to pick me something up, and ... more
