The mere mention of  head lice make most people start itching and scratching.  It’s not limited to their hair either.  I itch from head to toe when the subject comes arises.

I’m a retired teacher and thankfully never suffered from the creepy critters.  When the school nurse checked my students, I had her check my hair as well.  Lice isn’t choosey, you know?   Unfortunately, my daughter hasn’t so lucky.  Sadly, it was gifted from a neighbor child and not a schoolmate.

She complained about her head itching for quite some time during the summer.  I checked and checked but never found anything crawling around on her head or any eggs.  I was relieved.  Her hair was really long and thick.  I thought she just wasn’t rinsing the shampoo out of her hair very well.  So, I combed safflower and Vitamin E oil through her hair.  I put her in the sun with a shower cap on her head.  I figured a deep conditioning, hot oil treatment would do wonders for the dry, flaky scalp that she wasn’t taking care of for herself.

This went on for a couple of most of the summer.  Her hair and scalp were beautiful, but her head was still itchy.  After  a couple of months, she finally found and brought me live crawling head lice!  It was the day before we were supposed to go out of state for a long trip, of course!  I made a fast dash to the store and bought the first thing I could find.  Choices were limited in our small town.

I don’t remember the brand, but I remember it stunk horribly!  Most lice treatments contain potent pesticides.  That’s what made the products we used so horribly stinky.  They also require multiple treatments.  It’s hard to determine what’s worse, the actual lice or the treatments!

Vamousse is different. With Vamousse Lice Treatmeent, you saturate the hair and scalp with the mouse, wait 15 minutes and shampoo. Vamousse starts killing head lice and eggs the moment it’s applied! Vamousse does it without a drippy, chemical smelling, eye-stinging mess that other liquid treatments can create.

Unlike other lice treatment options, Vamousse also offers a preventative treatment shampoo.  Had I known about the Vamousse Lice Prevention Shampoo when I was teaching, I’m sure that I would have used it during times of lice outbreak in my classroom.  My daughter will be attending beauty school next year.  I’m sure that she will encounter lice a time or two there and the Vamousse Lice Prevention Shampoo will come in handy for her on those days, “just in casee.”

There is another BIG difference between Vamousse and the other stuff you typically find at the store – the smell.  It was hard for me to figure out a way to describe the way it smells.  It’s something much more toxic than hair color or permanent solution mixed with a strong pesticide.  Yeah, it really is that bad if you’ve never had the experience.

Thankfully, the Vamousse products don’t smell anything like the other lice treatments on the market!  The Vamousse Lice Prevention Shampoo has a light, clean citrus smell.  Eucalyptus was listed as the first ingredient and I normally do NOT like anything that even remotely hints of eucalyptus.  Needless to say, I am quite surprised by the pleasant smell.  The Vamousse Lice Treatment smells completely different to me than the Vamousse Lice Prevention Shampoo.  It has a lighter citrus smell with a hint of maybe something like baby oil.

While I’m thankful we have not had reason to try the samples sent to us by Vamousse, we will keep them on hand.  We also shared a set of samples with our friends who are also a teacher and a school nurse.  My daughter shared lice with their daughter, so we figured we would pay it forward with some preventative care this time.  Besides that, there is a whole section of educational materials on the Vamousse site for educators.  I learned quite a bit about lice, some things that I had been told are actually just myths.  Check it out and educate yourself.  After all, Back to School does often mean Back to Lice Season as well.
