Back-to-School Hair Care: Lice Prevention Tips Every Parent Needs

Back-to-school season is here, and with busy classrooms and after-school activities, lice are more common, too. Lice outbreaks often happen in the fall when kids share spaces and belongings. The good news is that a few simple steps can help protect your child’s hair.

At L’Elegance Salon, we want to help with easy, salon-approved tips for lice prevention and our top product: Healium Knot Anymore Super Detangler, which includes lice protection.

Why Lice Cases Increase in the Fall

When kids go back to school and sports, they have more head-to-head contact. Sharing coat hooks, brushes, hats, and even taking selfies makes it easier for lice to spread. Taking steps early is the best way to prevent problems.

Simple Lice Prevention Tips

Style Choices That Help

• Long Hair: Braid it, bun it, or pull it into a ponytail. Add a light gel or hairspray to reduce friction and make it harder for lice to cling.

• Short Hair: Use styling gel or cream to add texture. Keeping hair trimmed neatly also minimizes exposure.

School Habits

• Put coats inside backpacks instead of on shared hooks.

• Remind kids not to share combs, brushes, hats, or hair accessories.

• Wash pillowcases, bedding, and jackets regularly during peak season.

Product Spotlight: Healium Knot Anymore Super Detangler

One of our must-have back-to-school products is Healium Knot Anymore Super Detangler. This spray makes brushing painless, smooths tangles, and contains natural additives to help protect against lice. A quick spritz before school or practice keeps hair manageable and protected.

What To Do If Lice Appear

Even with great prevention, lice can happen. If you notice itching or see lice or nits:

• Use a lice treatment shampoo as directed.

• Comb wet hair with a fine-tooth comb daily until lice and nits are gone.

• Wash recently worn clothes, bedding, and towels in hot water.
