 Wonderful even if you don't have lice! Oct 29, 2010
By Tricia Hansen
"tahansen242"
Look at the ingredients in this shampoo and they are high quality natural ingredients..then look at how much shampoo you get for the price. Check out other "natural" shampoos and their main ingredients and compare the ounces to the price. This can't be beat. I originally bought this shampoo and conditioner and spray around June of 2010 (its now almost November 2010) and I have two teenage boys. They both came home from middle school prior to school ending with lice, telling me I needed to check their heads because everyone at school had lice. I remembered going through this when I was a kid and my brother had lice. I was upset understandably. I am a nurse and I know it doesn't matter how clean you are but I was still upset. I ran out and bought the Nix products after first trying generic lice product and it failing. Along with the Nix product I bought the Nit comb. I can't emphasize enough that it is firmly my belief that the NIT comb is what really got rid of the lice (not the NIX products). The nit comb is metal and very fine, not the cheap plastic ones that come with lice kits. I realized through that experience last year that these lice are not responding to Nix and pesticides and have grown considerably worse along with the bed bug epidemic hitting the U.S. due to the banning of DDT. Anyway this is supposed to be about the shampoo. I looked at the ingredients and I wanted to try the shampoo because I was afraid of getting lice from my kids too. I love the smell. If you like herbal smells like rosemary or lavender (real lavender/rosemary) than you will like this. And the smell does stay on your hair in a gentle manner..not overpowering where someone might wonder why you smell like a rosemary bush. The shampoo does not have sulfates and therefore if you want heavy lather like with traditional shampoo you will be disappointed. We all know sulfates are what cause the lather. This shampoo makes my very fine hair have body without overdrying it. A lot of times I do not even have to use the conditioner. Sometimes my ends get dry for whatever reason and I can use the spray and I love when I use the spray because my hair really smells like sweet rosemary then. My hair is left baby soft and smooth (but I do have fine hair anyway). I have considered trying other shampoos that are organic but I keep coming back to this gigantic bottle sitting in my shower...not because I have lice but because it is a great shampoo! I would recommend it for every day use. It is not harsh or stripping and I believe the herbal oils are good for your scalp and I have had problems with itchy oily scalp in the past that was only cured by Nizoral in the past as i believe this flaky oily scalp was the result of an overgrowth of fungus that grows on skin oil specifically killed by the active ingredient in Nizoral. It is very similar to yeast but it feeds on oil instead of just moisture. I just found out I am pre-diabetic even though I am thin and have great blood pressure/great cholestrol levels so now this makes sense that I would have the skin issues as my blood sugar runs higher than is healthy. So if you have scalp problems I believe this shampoo and the occasional use of Nizoral could really help. I no longer get the itchy scalp or acne type flaking on my scalp that was starting to get severe before I discovered Nizoral and this shampoo. Its embarassing to say that and if you saw me you would never know I had those issues. I am posting this to try to help anyone who might be needing the information.

OMG! Jun 26, 2011
By melane medina rijo
This shampoo, has totally, blown me away! It's amazing! Here's my story:
I am a 24 yr old female, who had lice when i was very young ( around 11) and it was a DREADFUl experience. Truly traumatizing. I remember my mother slaving on my hair, for 5 hrs (none too gently, she was quite frusterated), yanking on it to keep me awake, asking me if I thought this was what she wanted to be doing at 4 am... It was the 3rd time i had gotten lice in 1 year, and we were both at our wits end. I am surprised she didn't just shave it all off like she frequently threatend. Regardless, that was the last time i got lice in 12 years. After that night, i never got close to any of my friends at school, and didn't let anyone touch my hair. Things were good for years, until 1 week ago...
Last week, as i was combing my hair (and i have really long hair), i happened to look down at my lap, and what do i see but a strange little bug crawling around... I was shocked. What was it? I had no clue. I figured somehting had gotten into my hair from being outside, brushed it off and called it a day. However, the next day, i was brushing my hair out again, and once MORE, there was a little bug crawling on my lap... I started to panic.
Having been to young to remember what lice looked like, i couldn't immediately identify what the bug was. However, i DID remember the tiny popping noise they would make when my mother would squeeze them between her nails. Dreading what would occur, i proceeded to take the tiny bug between my two thumb nails, i proceeded to smush it, and low and behold, it popped. Whats worse, there was a tiny speck of blood left behind. I started to freak out.
How was this possible?!? Here i am, 24 yrs old, brushing my hair in my car, about to go to work, and i had just found out, i had lice... Cue the apocalypse. Ok, so maybe that's somewhat melodramatic, but i was truly freaking out. How could this have happened?!? With all the mortification in the world, i sucked it up, went to work, and proceeded to check myself in every reflective surface available, worrying if there were any lice crawling around on my clothes. Thank God, there weren't. That day, after work, i debated whether going straigh to the store to buy a bottle of Rid, as thats what i remember my mother using, but i was too embarassed to do so. Instead, i hit the net, and proceeded to scour the web until i had an answer.
Thankfully, i came to amazon.com pretty early in my search, and while looking up lice shampoos's, i saw that this one i had never heard of, had more reviews than the rid i was planning on buying. After reading the first couple reviews, i was almost sold on buying the shampoo, untill i came to the most recent ones. Those dodn't seem too promising. After thinking it over, and failing to find something else with as many possitive reviews, or the same combination of ingredients that lice apparently hate (te atree oil, lavendar, etc) i decided to give this and the terminator comb i found on this site a shot. Best descision i could have possibly made!
At first, i was a little apprehensive about whether the shampoo would work or not, because all the directions say is: "use to keep bugs, lice, and other insects away from your childrens hair". There is nothing in there about killing the bugs when they are already there. However, having nothing to lose, i proceeded to try it, abd hope to God it would work. If not, i had already decided i was going to nuke my head with all the pesticides the rid had to offer and more. Warning labels be dammed! I HAD to get rid of this problem.
As it happened, i could tell something was happening, because as soon as i put on the shampoo, my head started to tingle a little. Then, even though the instructions don't say it, i rinsed it out, lathered myself up again, and chose to leave it in for 10 min. After that, i rinsed it out, hoping to God it had worked. Seeing as how i have so much hair, i enlisted my sister in laws help in combing it out. She used a gerber comb on my hair that she had from when my nieces got lice (turns out i got it from them, because i didn't KNOW the had lice), and she was stumped. She started combing through my hair, and what she found was amzing. It seemed to her, that all she was looking at were dead lice. She was cleaning off the comb on a separate towel after every brush, and telling me how when she had combed through my nieces hair, that bugs had still been alive when she'd used the rid. She couldn't believe it, and neither could i. It seemed too good to be true, for a non harmful shampoo. Jokingly, i said that maybe they were only stunned. Turns out that i was kind of right.
After combing through my hair for 45 mins, my sister in law proclaimed me bug free, and we started looking at the towel. It was then i realized, some of the bigger bugs, were moving. I had been right to think they were stunned, so we killed them. However, i was NOT dissapointed. This shampoo, by far, performed the best of any me and my family have ever come across. It totally KILLED the smaller lice, and stunned the bigger bugs, for at least 30 mins. Ample enough time for someone, with help, to remove any bugs from their hair. Plus, to top it all off, it's completely safe to use everyday! It doesn't contain harmful chemicals like other shampoos out there. Needless to say, my family and i have decided to use it everyday. On everyones hair. Bugs or not.
Currently, i am on day 3 of using the shampoo, and the past 2 days, i have started using the terminator comb. Fantastic! It works superbly! The space between the teeth, is virtually non existent. So, it REALLY get everything out. I have never seen anything like the terminator comb, or this shampoo, in stores, and its mind boggling! Why isn't this out there?! It's something that ACTUALLY works, and isn't harmful. I will never use anything else again.
I'm not someone who normally writes reviews, but here i am writting this one, in hopes that anyone else who finds themselves dealing with the situation i faced, either as a child or as an adult, can find some relief.

Best product ever!! Sep 07, 2009
By D. Harmon
"Luv2shop"
This is one of the best products I've ever seen. Alot of lice today are immune to the NIX and other chemical products. This is all-natural and lice HATE the scent of rosemary! The natural oils of rosemary and lavendar keep lice from coming back. This product gets rid of lice and can be used daily to make sure your child does not get reinfested if attending a school or daycare that has lots of recurrences. The shampoo smells wonderful and is pretty and cute...little girls will think it's "special" for fairy tale princesses. I had a friend who's daughter kept getting lice over and over. She was so frustrated she didn't know what to do. I recommended this product and she has thanked me for 2 years! Her daughter was the only child attending the daycare that didn't have future infestations. I liked it so much, I used some of the shampoo that was left over for myself.

Only product that works......Fairy Tales!!! Jun 30, 2010
By caborn
We have had two encounters with lice @ school. Once when our child was 5yrs and again when he was 7yrs. This is truly the only product that works. We tried every product recommended by pharmacists, pediatricians, grandparents, and other parents. Until our child's hairdresser suggested this line of products. We used the lice treatment set, shampoo, conditioner, spray/repel........all at the same time. We got rid of the lice quickly. The second time we received a warning from the school that there was another outbreak.......we went right to the shampoo, conditioner and spray/repel.......and never got the lice the 2nd time!!! GREAT PRODUCT!!!!

Great everyday shampoo Oct 01, 2010
By lysa
"lysa"
I bought this shampoo to battle lice that had come into our home. Between this shampoo and the best nit comb ever we have been able to keep our home lice free. I have continued to use this shampoo on a daily basis just because I love it so much. It's so rich that a conditioner is not needed, and yet it leaves my fine oil-prone hair wonderfully soft and full of bounce and body- never limp or greasy. This is an amazing everyday shampoo.
