Back to school is in full swing! Keep your kids and family Lice Free! We encourage girls to wear their hair up in tight braids and buns. Remind your kids not to share hats, combs and brushes. Also, lice are smell sensitive, they do not like tea tree, rosemary, or mint. Use a preventative spray every morning. Don't have any? Nitty Gritty Hair Care sells a Mint Preventative Spray! Contact us so you can stop in.

Sometimes it doesn't get any better than this! After we saw these two kiddos and they spent some time with us, they went home and were inspired to create their own "Head lice salon"! Their mom sent us a sweet message, that her girls went home and starting playing"head lice salon". She also included these photos. We love that we are not only helping our community but also inspiring our youth! ❤️
