I would absolutely recommend a robicomb. When I was about 13 I had lice so badly and nothing would get rid of them, we tried everything. It was terribly embarrassing as the infestation literally lasted for months. I was subjected to the normal natural treatments, to conditioner, to the old school kero and nothing worked until we got a robicomb and they were gone completely. I've already made the decision that when we start getting lice in our kids hair that I'll make the investment into a robicomb straight away because I really don't want them to suffer the way I did. I can't sing its praises enough!
