Nitty Gritty Conditioning Defence Spray is a leave-in conditioning spray specially formulated to help discourage head lice while keeping hair soft, manageable and easy to comb. Made with a blend of essential oils including tea tree, neem, grapefruit and lavender oils, it helps disguise the hair's natural scent while leaving hair fresh, shiny and detangled.

Overview

Nitty Gritty Conditioning Defence Spray combines effective hair conditioning with a carefully selected blend of essential oils traditionally used in head lice defence products.

Head lice use their sense of smell to identify potential new hosts during head-to-head contact. This spray helps mask the hair's natural scent, helping to discourage lice from migrating onto the hair. At the same time, conditioning ingredients help reduce tangles and leave hair soft, smooth and easy to manage.

Suitable for daily use on wet or dry hair, it offers a practical solution for families looking to support their regular head lice checking routine.

Trust & Pharmacist Advice

Head lice are a common issue among school-aged children and spread primarily through direct head-to-head contact. While no preventative product can guarantee complete protection, defence sprays can form part of a wider strategy that includes regular checking with a detection comb.

Nitty Gritty Conditioning Defence Spray uses a blend of essential oils to help disguise the hair's natural scent, making it less attractive to lice looking for a new host. Daily use alongside routine head checks may help families manage the risk of infestation more effectively.

If live lice or eggs are found, prompt treatment should be started using an appropriate head lice treatment. Speak to your pharmacist for advice on suitable treatment options.
