Our Glo-Powder is designed to help you see what’s normally invisible — and we know it can be tricky at first to learn what an egg looks like.
Scroll down to see real examples of what to look for.
What am I looking for?
When you shine the UV light after applying Glo-Powder, you’re looking for:
A roundish, glowing orb shape
What am I looking for?
Usually attached close to the scalp on a single hair strand
What am I looking for?
Attached firmly to a hair (dandruff and sand move!)
What am I looking for?
Larger and more defined than the mica powder (which can have a sparkly effect)
How does it work?
It’s simple science.
Lice eggs (also called nits) are made up of proteins.
Our Glo-Powder is specially designed to bind to those proteins.
When you shine the UV light on the hair, the powder that’s clinging to the eggs will glow — showing you exactly where they are.
So what you’re seeing is:
Glo-Powder + Egg Proteins = Glowing Orb
