Step 1
Hair and scalp must be dry before applying Sklice Lotion. Use the top of the cap to break the tamper seal on the tube.2
Step 3
Completely cover scalp and hair closest to the scalp first, and then apply outwards towards the ends of hair.2
Step 4
Rub Sklice Lotion throughout hair. It is important to completely cover the entire head so that all lice and eggs are exposed to the lotion. Be sure that each hair is coated from the scalp to the tip. Use up to 1 entire tube (4 oz) to completely cover hair and scalp.2
Step 5
Allow Sklice Lotion to stay on hair and scalp for 10 minutes after it has been applied. Use a timer or clock. Start timing after hair and scalp are completely covered with Sklice Lotion.2
Step 6
After 10 minutes, completely rinse Sklice Lotion from hair and scalp using only water. You or anyone who helps you apply Sklice Lotion should wash their hands after application. Do not use Sklice Lotion again without talking to your health care provider first.2
