Why Head Shaving & Close Haircuts Don’t Help Prevent Lice

Home – Blog – Why Head Shaving & Close Haircuts Don’t Help Prevent Lice

  • September 26, 2017
  • Lice Lifters
As an Ocean County NJ resident, you and your children have had the chance to enjoy another beautiful summer near the New Jersey ocean front. As fun as this may have been, you may find you’ve joined the ranks of parents who have to deal with their child having head lice. Maybe they picked it up by using an infected person’s towel at the beach or swapping hats with someone who has lice. If they went to camp for the summer, they may have gotten them from another kid there, or just as likely, they could have picked them up from bumping heads with other kids at the local playground.

However they got them, you now have to deal with them. If this is the first time you’ve ever found lice on your child’s head, this can be quite an upsetting situation. The first thing to do is to remain calm and not do anything rash.

Panicking About Head Lice Doesn’t Help

Some people may take desperate or downright silly steps upon finding out their child has contracted head lice. This is especially true if you have more than one child and are afraid they’ll spread to the others and you want to handle the situation quickly. These types of desperate, yet ineffective, actions can include debunked home remedies such as saturating their head with mayonnaise or olive oil or something else that is equally ridiculous. Some have even gone to the extreme of shaving their child’s head.

Shaving A Head Won’t Handle The Lice Problem

Lice are resilient little pests. They actually feed on the blood under the scalp rather than on the hair itself. Some mothers try giving their kid a crew cut or perhaps even totally shaving their heads. They then find that the lice are still there. They simply cling to the scalp while waiting for the hair to grow back at which time they’ll be hidden again. This is also why head shaving is not an effective method for preventing head lice. You need to pursue a solution that deals with the lice directly rather than one that simply uncovers them for all the world to see.

A Powerful Lice Solution For An Annoying Lice Problem

Just as you call in a professional for some other problems in your life, the presence of head lice merits this as well.

We use a head lice treatment that is all-natural and safe, and it gets the job done in a single trip.

Save yourself time when seeking out an effective head lice treatment. Only a dedicated lice clinic has solutions tailored to this problem.

Lice lifters of Ocean County is amazing! I called them in a panic Tuesday evening and received a call back within 20 minutes to make an appointment for the next morning. Laura was so kind and patient as she answered all of my questions and treated my two young daughters and myself for lice. Hopefully, we will never have to be back, but would highly recommend!
Megan Kelly
I used lice lifters when my daughter got lice from school as many kids do. They were fantastic with helping us out and getting her all fixed up with their great service. I would recommend them to anyone who needs the help. It’s terrible to go through but they know what to do and fix it. Thank you 😊 I appreciate Laures help .She was just amazing 🤩 💯🙏🙌
Jenn Marione
As a mother of 4 i knew coming into contact with lice was a possibility thru public schools. My nightmare came to a reality this past week. I was beyond relieved to find Lice Lifters and the second I called them Laura answered and was amazing from the start. She answered my questions and made me feel calm and assured it would be alright. I might have been in panic mode a little bit.
Laura got me in the very next morning and treated my whole family with such warmth and kindness. Truly a very caring and kind human being in general but she made every single member of my family finally feel ok and took her time with each and every one of us. I am beyond grateful to have found this amazing business and very thankful we where lucky enough to get Laura.
5 ☆ isn’t even enough for this establishment. Highly recommended from a mother of 4 with all long hair and a fear of lice. This place is a blessing.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would! They are the most amazing people and are so good with my autistic daughter. My daughter had gotten lice back in june and I was so traumatized by it that I get paranoid now when I see anything white in my daughters hair or mine so I’ve been to lice lifters like 3 times for a head check and they have never made me feel crazy or judge me for it. I went today for a head check cause my daughter had alot of white spots in her hair. She has bad dry scalp and so do I but I was using head and shoulders for 2 weeks on us and it wasnt getting better so I got worried. But they were so awesome about it and she told me cause our hair is so dark that the dandruff just shows alot more. They made me feel so much better and at ease now. I also use there detangler spray and it looks like it’s working so I’ll stick with that from now on and I’ll always know where to go if I feel worried that its lice again. Thank you so much again lice lifters! I will always reccomend anyone who needs help with a lice situation to go there!

I brought my daughter here out of desperation after having treated and combed her at home (many combing sessions!) but still finding a few nits in her hair after a couple of days. She needed to be able to go back to school. Laura was wonderful!! She explained the process and checked both my daughter’s and my heads. She was very kind and clearly had so much experience doing this. She found nothing lice related which was such a relief. To get the all clear from a professional gave me so much peace of mind. I bought a bottle of their treatment too, just in case we need it sometime down the road. I love that it doesn’t have all of the harsh chemicals. Going forward I will always recommend heading straight to a lice clinic rather than trying to deal with all of it on your own. It’s worth every penny. Thanks again Laura!!!
Nikki Grato
I called lice lifters of Tom’s river in a complete panic. Rebecca was a life saver!! She was able to confirm that it was in fact lice. She worked on trying to get me into the facility as soon as she could. She was extremely responsive and available to answer all of my questions before and after our appointment (and there were a lot of them ). She never made me feel crazy for all my questions and concerns. When we got to the location Laura took care of us. She was awesome as well! She made me feel extremely comfortable and explained to me about lice and how to handle the situation. She was excellent with my 2 young children. She checked all of us, treated us and sent us home with all the information we needed to clean at home and treat our hair. She truly made me understand lice, the transmission and how to go about successfully getting rid of it. Thank you Rebecca and Laura for being so helpful and caring to this stressed out mom !!!!
Brittany Sudah
My family was exposed to someone with lice, so naturally we were freaked out and wanted to be checked. Not only did they fit us in quickly on a Sunday, but Lisa was thorough, very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Luckily we didn’t have it and hope we never do, but if so, we won’t hesitate to contact Lice Lifters in Toms River.

I brought my daughter here super professional, very clean place would highly recommend 5 stars across the board

My daughter had lice. I took her to the pediatrician and was told she didn’t have it so we thought we were in the clear. But she kept itching and a week later I found a bug. :-( I tried the CVS brand — waste of money, did nothing. I felt so defeated. I decided to try Lice Lifters and it was worth every cent. They got rid of the lice that lasted weeks and they calmed me down and eased my anxiety. My peace of mind meant everything. I am SO GLAD we went. Thank you Lice Lifters,!!!!

Don’t bother buying a ridiculous box treatment because it never works… my kids came home with LICE!! I was tariffed because both my girl and boys have thick hair! Lice Lifters went above and beyond and took care of business!!! The nicest most professional hard working people I have ever met, my daughter has special needs and the way they handled it was seamless and gave me a sigh of relief… they gave us instructions and materials for post care as well… Worth Every Penny…. Thanks again Lice Lifters!!!

Ann Marie Lusquinos
Last Wednesday I received the dreaded phone call from the school nurse telling me my six year old daughter had lice. I was completely overwhelmed never having dealt with it before. I knew I needed help. I called my pediatrician and she recommended Lice Lifters. I called from the school nurse’s office at 3:00 in a panic and Brooke answered the phone. She was so sweet and kind from her first words. She told me I could come right over and she would take care of her. The nightmare continued as it turned out that I also had lice. Brooke rearranged her own personal schedule to take care of me and my family. She worked with us from 4:00-8:00. She was kind, reassuring, gentle and made a nightmare situation comfortable. She educated me , explained how to clean my house and made me laugh numerous times. I am so thankful for Lice Lifters and Brooke and can’t thank her enough for all she did for me and my family last night. We left there lice free and able to return to school and work the next day!! Thank you!!
Matthew Presutti
We had the unfortunate news that we had a case of lice in the house. It was late in the afternoon, their office was closing and it appeared we weren’t going to get treated today. The office called us and said the owner will come in a couple of hours after closing time to treat my daughter and check our family. Terrific service! Thank you.
Angela Tamayo
Ugh LICE!! What was a traumatic and painful ordeal was less painful and less traumatic thanks to Lice Lifters. Brought my daughter in on 9/14/19 and Lisa took care of us and what a great job she did! She was so kind,and thoughtful and considerate of my daughter and her needs! I also purchased the family kit for the rest of my family and that was a life saver! Lisa took the time to educate us about all things lice! I would recommend Lice Lifters to everyone who needs a treatment! THANK YOU LICE LIFTERS!!!

Lice Lifters is a Life Saver. This is a situation that creates tons of anxiety and Lisa was just outstanding. She’s patient and kind and made a tough situation almost easy. It’s a great relief to know a place like this exists. Cannot thank you enough.

I totally panicked when the school called saying my daughter had lice. I went to buy over the counter treatment and I am so glad I went to Lice Lifters instead! Tracy was amazing! She was so calm, and was explaining everything to us. She is great! I am so glad I went because it turns out my daughter didnt even have any lice! what a relief! and what a Life Saver, Life Liters and Tracy are!!
Michelle Block
PRAISE LICE LIFTERS!!!
Of course when I got the call from the school nurse, every pore on my back popped out a bead of sweat and my scalp was just itchy all over. In a panic, I called and was assured that my son could be seen right away. Upon entering the facility, all worries dissolve. I was reassured that I WASN’T a nasty-stank-nasty mom and these things happen more often than one thinks! There were plenty of books on all reading levels, so that the children can fully understand what’s happening to them and to not feel bad for it in ANY kind of way. The staff was BEYOND THOROUGH with my son’s hair. We were, offered snacks, refreshments, Netflix and my son was just as happy as a clam, playing his hand held game as she worked on my son’s hair.
Being a woman of color, I thought MY coif was going to be a challenge, but they were gentle and BEYOND THOROUGH. This lady knows hair and her subject matter VERY WELL. She was a wellspring of knowledge and advice when it came to getting your home up to snuff to confirm these uninvited guests are no longer habituating in your domain.
Post-treatment instructions were simple to follow and you get plenty of product.
Needless to say, not only are we lice free, but I was able to get a full refund through my health insurance.
Heather Gulden
Great experience with Lisa. I was completely overwhelmed and upset when I found out my 6 year old had lice. She showed me the nits and we learned about the life cycle how to prevent them and what to do and put me and her completely at ease after an unbearable weekend. I found this place online and I highly recommend her. Im so grateful they are here! My daughters smile was worth every cent.
Olivia Smith
Great service. Lovely staff. Thank you!
Gisele Aviles
