When September rolls around parents across the country start pulling their hair out (not to mention their children’s), when it comes to battling head lice. These three London mums have come up with the perfect no-tears-no-fights solution to ‘beat the bugs’ once and for all that actually works! And what’s more - it only costs £10!
So no more repeated spending on countless bottles of lotions and potions that just don’t solve the problem. The Nitty Gritty NitFree comb is all you need!
The award- winning Nitty Gritty NitFree Comb is a patented micro spiral comb and is the only head lice product to remove not only the smallest head lice as well as the nits (the empty egg cases) but also, most importantly, it even removes the unhatched live head louse eggs which are the main cause of repeated infestations.
‘Other products just leave the ‘live’ eggs behind in the hair to hatch out,’ explains one of the mums behind Nitty Gritty. ‘That’s why infestations often seem to go on forever and you find yourself having to do weekly combing. Unless you get the unhatched live eggs out, you just end up right back where you started a week later when the new generation of head lice hatch out.’
The Nitty Gritty NitFree comb is available for £9.99 at www.nittygritty.co.uk, it is also available in major retailers including Boots, Tesco, Superdrug and Ocado as well as Lloyds and Asda pharmacies and independent pharmacies across the country. It has even been approved for NHS prescription, to ensure every single family can access a Nitty Gritty NitFree Comb.
Nitty Gritty was founded by three London mums - Amanda Coplans, Gill Newton and Lillan Osterberg - who knew exactly what it was like to go through ‘head lice hell’.
‘We started our company with a single mission in mind – to do everything we possibly can to help our customers and their families “beat the bugs” without the need for any nasty chemicals’ explains Gill ‘Our three daughters constantly came home from school with head lice and we bought every single gadget, gimmick, potion and lotion that we could find… and nothing worked.’
The three mums got sick and tired of their girls going to bed in tears with their eyes stinging and their hair pulled out but still with nits, eggs and live head lice in their hair. So they decided to create their own range of Aromatherapy products, that would not only be kind to kids, but that would actually get the job done.
Lillan was a trained aromatherapist, Gill was a manager of Body Shop and together with Amanda they came up with the perfect solution to safely and effectively remove head lice without the need for any harmful chemicals.
It immediately became a huge hit. Parents were so relieved to finally say bye-bye to nasty stinky chemicals and to be able to put something on their children’s hair that they knew was safe yet effective.
Their patented combs has also won multiple awards and has had celebrities and journalists singing its praises over and over again. The Guardian called it the ‘Rolls-Royce of nit combs’, The Daily Telegraph called it a ‘miracle comb’ when it won their special Family Friendly Award, The Times newspaper named it as one of their ‘Top Five Quick Fixes For Family Emergencies’ and it was singled out for praise by Which? magazine, as well as being recommended on ITV’s This Morning and Loose Women.
Since we launching the comb, it has sold millions to families across Britain, finally freeing them from their head lice hell. As well as selling through their website www.nittygritty.co.uk they are also available in major retailers including Boots, Tesco, Superdrug and Ocado as well as Lloyds and Asda pharmacies and independent pharmacies across the country.
