Have you seen live lice?
If so, start at Step One. Otherwise start at Step Four.
Live lice spotted
If you have seen live lice...
Step 1
Apply ISpy Lotion to hair and leave for at least 20 minutes to treat live lice
a) Place a towel around the neck to absorb any excess lotion - because the lotion is oil-based, the consistency is thinner than a standard shampoo
b) Twist end of tube or remove spray cap to open
c) Section hair and start applying lotion from the scalp outwards (similar to touching up your roots with hair dye). Ensure hair strands are coated completely, focusing on behind the ears, the crown and the nape of the neck where lice like to stay warm and fed.
Step 2
Wash hair if wished to get rid of any lotion and oil residue /OR leave it in to keep working until the next wash
Step 3
Dry hair - ideally use a hair dryer or wait until hair is completely dry (you can leave lotion in!)
The hair needs to be completely dry to avoid powder clumps and for the luminescent to work.
While drying hair, remove any dead nits and dandruff/debris where possible
Eggs suspected
If you haven't seen live lice...
Step 4
Prepare ISpy Glo Powder
a) To minimise mess clean up, we recommend avoiding carpet.
The Glo-Powder works best indoors in a dimmed room. Bright overhead lighting will wash out the glow, so dim the lights or draw the curtains before you start.
b) Section the hair. Open the sachet and use the applicator brush to dust on. You only need a fine dusting of powder.
Step 5
Section the hair and use comb to apply the powder evenly across the head, focusing on hot spots. Avoid clumps or heavy application — a light, even coating across the hair strands delivers the most effective results.
This step is important. Brush through the hair to remove excess powder — dandruff and loose debris will come away with it, taking the powder with them. What remains glowing after the brushout is stuck to the hair shaft, the same way nits are.
Think of it like glitter on hair — shake it out and the loose bits fall away, but anything stuck stays put. That's your nit.
a) As a guide, one check typically uses approximately ⅓ of the sachet. Extra long or thick hair may require additional powder.
b) Most viable eggs (those likely to hatch) are found within 10mm of the scalp, so focus application close to the roots.
c) Common “hot spots” include the crown, the nape of the neck, and behind the ears, as these areas tend to be warmer.
Step 6
Now it’s time to nitpick (remove eggs) - you may find it easier to use a hair claw to section longer/thicker hair
a) When you identify a potential egg, pinch the hair strand between thumb and forefinger and run your nails down the strand to remove it (remember dandruff brushes away easily but nit eggs stick tight!). For extra help refer to our Nit Spotting Guide.
b) Don’t wear gloves (unless you’ve got sensitive skin) but do wash your hands before/after
c) Focus on eggs close to scalp as eggs further out will have less chance of hatching into lice
d) For a faster and easier process find an extra pair of hands (one person to hold light and one to nitpick)
Use kit only as directed. Supervise use with children. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. Gloves may be worn for sensitive skin. Not intended for children under one year of age or regular daily use. In an infestation is not able to be controlled please see your healthcare professional.
