Disclosure: I was sent this product to review in exchange for my honest opinion.
Lice is something that honestly freaks me out. I am petrified of my kids coming home with lice and having to deal with it. For boys its easy, I can shave their heads but then I worry about my daughters hair, my hair, bedding and so forth! It is just so creepy to think of those little bugs crawling around up there. When I got the letter from my son’s school that someone in his grade has lice, I probably checked his head 50 times just to be sure he was okay. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a preventative line of haircare products that would deter lice? Well there is! Last year I got the chance to check out a line of products developed by Fairy Tales Hair Care. It is basically a line of hair care products that has ingrediants inside that prevent head lice!
Fairy Tales Hair Care products has re-formualted and re-packaged their products. The proudcts have a 92% efficiency in repelling head lice and now they are also nut, dairy, soy and gluten-free. I never really thought about hair care products having nuts in them, and I guess I should now think of it since my son has a nut allergy. The Rosemary Repel formula is a nautral solution that includes organic herbs of rosemary, tea tree, peppermint, lavender and geranium oils. No harsh chemicals, pesticides, toxins, parabans or sulfates either. The company is dedicated to delivering high quality products with great ingrediants at an affordable price.
The Rosemary Repel Hair products have been a #1 recommended product for lice by pediatricians, school nurses and moms since 1999 and yes it is clinically proven to help. It is gentle enough to use every day, which honestly we have been using as a preventative lice product! The smell is strong but it does wear off and it is a nice smell. I use this on all three of my kids, but it is good for moms and dads too! A bottle of shampoo and conditioner does run about $12 for a 12 ounce bottle so I do also use it sparingly. Although I can’t imagine how much time and money I would spend if one of us did get lice for lice removal.

Not yet thank goodness! It sounds like a terrible pain in the rear to get rid of the little buggers, especially with really long hair.
We did get the dreaded letter this year from my daughter’s Kindergarten teacher that someone in her class had it and to please check your child. I would have loved to have these as a little extra defense; there was not a lot we could do other than to put her hair up every day and check her when she got home.

Jodi @ A Mom Having Fun says
I just had the unfortunate luck of having 2 children with lice. It was awful! I had never experienced anything with lice before so was completely clueless on what to do. Fortunately there is a salon that removes lice and nits…in fact, that is the only thing they do. I still had to check for 21 days afterwards using a Nit Comb. Honestly, I was completely grossed out whenever I found anything.
A friends of mine just went through this several months ago with her daughter and just yesterday she told me at this Fairy Tale shampoo! She has her kids use it every time they wash their hair! It was on my list to buy…would be great to win!

my next to youngest granddaughter had it this past year and so di d half her class at school was a booger to get cured up and had to cut her hair and threaten to shave her head if she wore other peoples hats or used their combs, but I wonder at times how good it was for her to use all that commercial lice product that we did, even used avon skin so soft.. she smelled good…lol and they are gone
Shelia S says
Yes my children have had lice. We did the harsh chemical lice stuff (and treated the whole house) for them to one back a couple of weeks later. I didn’t understand why if I am supposed to leave the chemicals on for 10 minutes (and no more) how there were still live lice. When they came back, we researched online and put Listerine on their hair, put shower caps on, and left it on for 1 1/2 hours. Nothing was alive when we combed through it. The eggs also came out easily.
So far so good!
Cher says
I am seriously dreading one of my the kids bringing lice home!
