About Jac of Lice!

My name is Jacquie and I had the idea to start up a new head lice business after being in the hair industry for more than 25 yrs and constantly coming across head lice and nits and peoples woes with them.

I wanted to make sure there was accurate information about head lice available and that the stigma behind them is changed. Getting head lice does not make you dirty or different in any way, it just means you have the type of blood they like and will feed off, very much like mosquitoes.

I have created these products under extensive research that have been tried and tested and are totally safe for the whole family as well as gathered as much relevant information as I could to help make the treatment and prevention process easy for anyone to do.

We all know, nit happens! So when it does, you can now be prepared.

Real Results, Happy Families!
