Question 1

Does this work well on fine hair?  I have a metal comb that looks similar to this but it glides right by the nits on my daughter's hair...

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, the quality of this brand has declined and the previously effective "grooves" in the tines are just decorative scratches now.  (I've ordered hundreds of these combs over several years, both for myself and through another company.).  For fine hair, make a mixture of 2/3 baking soda and 1/3 conditioner and comb through fine hair with that.  The baking soda will grab the nits that this comb used to.  Be careful, this process isn't easy.

Question 2

Have any of you also tried the Lice Meister?If so, can you please tell me the difference between them?Hard to decide which to purchase for outbreak #3

Accepted Answer

Yes, I have the Lice Meister.  It is ok, but I prefer the Terminator comb BY FAR.  The Terminator comb has tiny micro grooved ridges running down the metal "teeth" of the comb.  They seem to work better at breaking loose the nits.  Though I have never found a comb that will find EVERY single nit - the Terminator does a far better job.  My daughter actually has found out she had lice in the first place by periodically running it through her hair - now she uses it once a month since there seem to be so many children in our town with lice.  She usually can catch nits herself that way and then I know if she's gotten them again.  Now, with periodic use of this comb and frequent checks we've remained lice free since March - whereas she had gotten them twice over the winter and the lice meister still missed so many nits.  Be warned though - I TRULY wish there was something to get rid of every nit - but I have not found it.  You will still have to do the checking.  However - if you treat the child's head on night 1 & then use this comb every night for 2 weeks - then retreat your child's head 7 days after the first treatment & in another 7 - you will have a far better chance of success.  I don't know if your area is prone to lice as ours is - but we homeschool so my daughter isn't even in the schools - but just being in our local church and having friends that do go to school has exposed her so many times and caused me countless hours of cleaning, washing of bedding & toys, and checking, checking, checking.  I truly am glad I found the Terminator comb - it works far better - though my true hope was that it would pull every nit out - but it sure pulls out more than anything else I've tried.

Question 3

Does this comb kill the lice or not? If it doesn't, can anyone recommend the best way to get rid of the lice when it's on the comb

Accepted Answer

The comb doesn't kill the lice, but it is the most effective comb on the market to remove the lice and as many of the eggs as possible. I boil a coffee cup of water. I put conditioner through my daughter's hair and go through it with her brush to detangle. Then I comb with the terminator comb and after each comb through I dip the comb in the hot water. It kills the lice instantly. Allow the comb to cool or run under cold water and repeat methodically over the entire head. A little bit of  lengthy process, but it has proven to be  fool proof system. I repeat after a week and no more problems!

Question 4

Is it effective for facial hair, beard (coarser, thicker hair than scalp), mustaches, eyebrows, under the chin?

Accepted Answer

I only combed through my hair and my daughter's hair, so I couldn't tell you for certain, but this thing was very effective and I can't imagine why it wouldn't work in thick, facial hair.
