This September, Sienna has joined Bella at school full time. She is so excited and has been telling me every day how happy she is! I feel so relieved to hear that she is enjoying school and has made new friends already. Bella has started Year 4, and even though she is used to her school and friends, this year, both classes of her year have been mixed up, so she is now getting used to her new class. But she is also very happy and enjoying her time.
For the first time, we were very organised with all the things they need for school. We made our list and got everything we needed.
Back To School With Vamousse
First Day of school (Reception and Year 4)
One of the things on my list for this new year was getting prepared for any uninvited head lice outbreak. We all hate them, but unfortunately, they are part and parcel of primary school life, and most kids will end up catching them no matter how careful you are with treatments.
Head Lice Experience
Luckily, Bella has only had them once, and we ended up treating her. This was unpleasant, and I will do anything to avoid it this year for Sienna. Bella got it when she was in Reception. Reception and Year 1 are the most common years for kids to get head lice. I think it is because they are still little and tend to be very close to each other. Their heads usually rub a lot, and that is when the head lice pass from one head to another.
With Bella, we used a treatment shampoo that had a very strong smell. We needed to wash and comb her hair for a few days. Of course, Bella didn’t enjoy this, but we had to do it. I never really saw actual head lice walking around her hair, but she had lots of nits, and we needed to get rid of them as soon as possible.
There is a lot of information and old wives’ tales surrounding how kids get head lice and where they come from. Most of this is passed down to us from our parents as we grow up, and then when we come to tackle the issue as parents, we get more confused as we listen to other parents and their different ways of managing and treating head lice. It can be tricky to figure out the truth from the fake news sometimes to correctly choose the right products to treat your child without resorting to using too many products and possibly making the situation worse.
Vamousse
Vamousse Treatment Mousse kills 100% of head lice and eggs in 15 minutes with just 1 application (in scientific tests). The mousse formula makes application much easier, as you can apply it exactly where you need to for better results. Vamousse treatment mousse is pesticide-free and safe for children over 2 years. It is also effective on resistant head lice.
Vamousse Preventative Shampoo is designed for regular use on children’s hair to help stop them from catching nits when around other children. Proven to stamp out undetected infestations, the shampoo can be used before a breakout so one never sets in to prevent a breakout when known cases are detected or for after treatment to stop a new infestation from starting. There are no nasty smells in the shampoo, leaving your children’s smelling fresh and clean.
I know that if the problem isn’t treated correctly straightaway, it will worsen and require more treatments. If you are unsure of which method is best for you and your child, there are plenty of sources online that can provide you with accurate information, as well as your child’s school, which also experiences this issue on a yearly basis and is up to speed with the best ways to combat the problem as easily as possible. And this is where Vamousse comes in.
My Tips for Treating Nits
From my experience with treating Bella for nits, and after doing some research, I have gathered some tips for treating head lice:
- Remember, head lice are tiny grey or brown insects found in hair. They are about the size of a small seed.
- Nits are the empty shells left after lice have hatched. It looks very much like dandruff, but as it clings to the hair, it makes it very difficult to brush out.
- Head lice are spread by head-to-head contact, where lice climb from the hair of an infected person to someone else’s hair.
- Have a look under a good light, such as a lamp or the natural sunlight, by sitting at a window or going outdoors.
- Use a ‘nit’ comb to detect the presence of lice and nits and make sure the teeth of the comb slot into the hair at the roots,
- Clean the comb after each stroke by dipping the comb in a cup of water, or use a paper towel to remove eggs, lice and/or nits.
- Look through each section of the hair for attached nits and live lice.
- A regular check of your child’s hair will help to control head lice.
- Detect lice and nits as early as possible
- Remove lice and nits immediately and effectively
Vamousse Treatment Mousse
Vamousse Preventative Shampoo
Having Vamousse Treatment Mousse at home and using Vamousse Preventative Shampoo for my girl’s hair makes me feel like we are ready to tackle the problem should we need to. It is definitely something every parent with primary school children should have in case they, too, come home with a case of the dreaded nits. The 15-minute and one-time application is perfect for busy parents (and children) who want to deal with the problem straight away with minimal fuss.

PIN FOR LATER:
I’ve never heard of Vamousse before but it sounds like a very good product.
I’ve seen this brand before advertised online. Anything that works on head lice is a good thing! When I was younger many of the treatments didn’t work properly
This is a really useful product when you have kids
Yes! It is very useful!
Anything that makes the dreaded nit removal quicker and easier has got to be a positive!
Exactly!
Have only recently heard of this brand – sure we will need some soon !!
It is very handy to have some just in case!
We have just had notice from the school of an outbreak of head lice!
Oh no! Get the shampoo asap! I hope it helps!
We’ve had a break from all that during the holidays – but school goes back tomorrow 🙁
Oh! Hope you had a lovely holiday! 🙂 x
This is a must-have product when you have kids!
#kcacols
Yes super handy! 🙂 xx
We had our first bout of head lice over the summer. The whole street had them! #kcacols
Oh no!! Hope all went well and you got rid of it quickly!
I am so pleased since my girls are at secondary school that we no longer have to deal with this problem – it was endless. These treatments are great but I also used conditioner and a nit comb in between just to check as by the time they start scratching it’s too late! #KCACOLS
It is borrible to have to deal with this. The shampoo helps to prevent any issues and the mousse kills them
in one try so it is great! X
I still have nightmares about leaning over a newspaper with my mum ripping out half of my hair with an old nit comb! This looks quick and easy, and like you say, probably worth having in just in case my two come home with any unwanted guests! #KCACOLS
Yes much better to be prepared just in case anything happens! 🙂
We had a super big problem all last year with lice. It was never-ending outbreaks and my kids kept getting it. :'(
I used 3 different treatments in the end I think.
I haven’t tried this one, last outbreak was just after school started, and once again my youngest got it bad – but the Tesco cheapy treatment actually did a good job taking care of it.
I’ll have a closer look at this one! 🙂
#KCACOLS
Oh not that sounds like a nightmare. Fingers crossed your kids don’t get it again. But it happens again try this mousse this time. 🙂 x
I remember all too well, the dreaded call from daycare about a case of lice. The treatment was horrible and there was no such thing as preventing them. I am glad that there are some improved products out there.
Who am I kidding, just thinking about this makes me itchy and glad my kids are grown! LOL
#KCACOLS
I know! I felt the same way just thinking about it! Lol x
I’ve never heard of Vamousse before but it sounds like a very good product. I wonder if they have it in the US? My oldest just started school this year. He has really short hair, so I am not as concerned, but the thought does freak me out. I am not looking forward to experiencing this any time soon. #KCACOLS
I think they do have it in the US too. X
My boy has also just started reception, all of this to come for us, my friends daughter has also just started reception and she’s forever plaiting her daughters hair to try and avoid nits! Will have to keep this in mind just in case x #KCACOLS
Ugh, the bain and dread of every parent’s life. Any hint of our 8yo scratching her head and I’m on it!! Thanks for hosting #kcacols
I know it is awful to having to go through this! 🙂 x
We haven’t had a visit from head lice so far… but I’m sure we won’t escape them forever. I will keep this product in mind for when the inevitable happens! My head feels itchy just thinking about them! #KCACOLS
I know! It is not nice at all! I alsp feel itchy just thinking about them! Lol x
I quite like the idea of the preventative shampoo to feel like you’re taking actively doing something to stop them getting nits. We’ve only had to deal with it once so far but it’s something I keep expecting to have to deal with again now Nerys is in full time school too! x #KCACOLS
I know! I am constantly worried they will get it too! Fingers crossed we manage to avoid it as much as possible! X
This is useful! My son started Reception in September so I’m on the look out but he has short hair so hopefully won’t get them! #KCACOLS
Unfortunately they get it too even with short hair! It is awful! I have actually just received thr dreaded email already from the school! Thank God I am now prepared! 🙂 x
I want some of this! We had an infestation a few months ago which was a big pain. This treatment sounds much more effective and easier. #kcacols
Eurgh head lice are my worst nightmare! I haven’t seen this brand before, will keep an eye out for it!! #KCACOLS
Booey had headlice a few times, I didn’t know about vamousse then.
#KCACOLS
We got head lice when our boy went to school, during his first term there. He thouroughly dislikes/is very sensitive to anyone combing his hair (don’t even mention cutting it…), and isn’t too keen on schampooing either, so it wasn’t much fun when he got lice. Though he coped better than I’d feared he would, thankfully! Good to know about the mousse product, if those dreaded critters would strike again x #KCACOLS
Thankfully mine have not had nits – yet! I am sure the time will come so I will be checking Vamousse out. #KCACOLS
Wow! You are so lucky! 🙂
I’ve never thought to use a preventative shampoo, only even thought of treating the kids if and when they get lice! Luckily they haven’t invaded us yet… #KCACOLS
