What really is a great comb? Plastic, Metal, Electric? Read on to find out!
Plastic Combs
When you purchase the products from the drug store they come with a plastic comb. So naturally you figure that this is the best comb because it came in the package. Right? Wrong. These plastic combs are absolutely useless. The tines are too far apart to grab anything. All they do is cause a great amount of frustration. Most people then just use their fingernails to try and get the eggs out. This makes this job longer than necessary and frustrating because you can’t get everything out.
Electric Combs
Electric combs can have a place in the eradication of lice. They zap the live lice which is fantastic BUT they do nothing in the removal of the eggs. The excitement of getting the live lice is short lived when the realization that the infestation is still there when those eggs keep hatching. These combs must be used on dry hair. If the person starts to sweat you will hear zapping and then you think you are killing lice. This may not be the case and if it is being used as a checking tool it can lead to a misdiagnosis of lice. If you do have lice you will need to switch combs for the treatment.
Metal Combs
Not all metal combs are equal. There are ones being sold in the drug stores which are better than the plastic combs but are not the great comb. The drug store versions look like they would be good but again the tines aren’t close enough together. They do leave eggs behind therefore allowing the infestation to continue. Once again you will resort to using your fingernails which again not efficient or effective.
