There
are a few things that celebrity mom and media personality Kat de Castro can’t
stand—and one of these is the threat of head lice infestation.
“It’s
one of the things that I feel really overprotective about. Just the thought
that my daughter Khloe might get head lice puts me on the defensive,” said Kat.
For
Kat, having head lice is not just unhygienic but she also considers it a health
problem. “What mother would not get worried if her child has lice? It’s not
just because my daughter would be itching but the fact that there would by tiny
parasites on her head and hair—and they could spread to all of us,” she added.
Kat
makes sure to take preventive measures to keep lice from infesting their home,
like regularly having pillowcases, beddings, and linens washed thoroughly and
even soaking them in hot water. She also checks her daughter if she seems to be
scratching her scalp more than normal.
“General
hygiene is really important and I taught Khloe about making it a habit since
she was a little girl. But sometimes, even if you know your daughter is very
clean and healthy in her habits, you can’t be sure what she gets exposed to
outside. She can still get lice from contact outside the house,” said Kat.
She
discovered that the best way to ease her mind about head lice infestation is to
have anti-lice shampoo in the house. That way, she feels secure that she can
take care of any lice problem as soon as she discovers it.
Kat de Castro said : “Like
many of us, while growing up I learned about various home remedies for head
lice, from using suyod (a very fine-toothed comb) to even
applying gasoline on the hair and scalp. I still believe in using suyod but I think it can’t solve the problem alone. We
already have modern and effective ways to get rid of lice, like anti-lice
shampoo.”
The
next step for Kat was choosing the right anti-lice shampoo for her family.
After doing research, she decided on LiceAliz. Her primary reason for doing so
is because it is very safe and effective, plus also quite convenient to use.
“I
read about the active ingredient in LiceAliz, which is pyrethrin. I found out
that it’s a natural ingredient made from chrysanthemum flowers. Following the
instructions for using LiceAliz is also easy, since we can use it like ordinary
shampoo and there’s even a variant with menthol for a soothing cool feeling.
All I have to do is follow the directions on the label,” she said.
LiceAliz
is a head lice treatment shampoo made of natural ingredients with pyrethrin,
which is proven safe and effective for removing head lice and their eggs in
adults and children as young as two years of age.
LiceAliz
is applied just like regular shampoo and also has a conditioner that keeps hair
soft, healthy, and manageable. For the first two weeks of use, it must be
applied twice a week. After that, it is applied only once a week to keep head
lice from coming back. For best results, it must be left on the hair for ten
minutes before rinsing.
Besides
being safe, effective, and convenient to use, LiceAliz has the added benefit of
costing as much as 50 percent lower than other brands of head lice shampoo. It
also has a variant with menthol for a cool, refreshing feeling on the scalp.
LiceAliz is available in drugstores, groceries and supermarkets nationwide.
