The Lice Treatment Center Now Offers All Natural Lice Treatment Products

Hair products use effective, non-toxic essential oils to treat lice.

The Lice Treatment Center announced today the arrival of its new all natural lice treatment product line, Bon Cheveux, which was developed by a board certified pediatrician.

When faced with an outbreak of head lice that seemed impossible to cure, Elizabeth Solovay and Dr. Elin Cohen put their Ivy League-educated heads together and founded The Lice Treatment Center in Easton, Connecticut.

They developed holistic lice treatment methods and a hair product line that uses a blend of essential oils such as cinnamon, peppermint, neem and tea tree oils.

“Many people don’t realize that over-the-counter medications and stronger prescription medications are often ineffective because lice have developed resistance to the active ingredients,” said Solovay, co-founder of The Lice Treatment Center and mother of five children ranging in ages from 2 to 16. “These lice treatment products only kill the adult lice and do not kill the nits, which must be physically pulled or combed out of the hair.” Continue reading “Lice Treatment Center Offers All Natural Lice Treatment Products” »

“Bad hair days” could soon become a thing of the past, according to German researchers who say they have unsnarled the mystery of frizzy and tangled hair.

The chemists from the University of Bayreuth claim they have developed the first detailed microscopic analysis of what happens to individual hair fibers when they interact with each other, which is to say when they get tangled up with each other and refuse to untangle.

The research could pave the way for the development of improved shampoos, conditioners and other products for repairing damaged hair, according to the findings.

In the new study, the researchers invented a unique technology for analyzing hair that involves mounting individual hair fibers on a cantilever tip of an atomic force microscope and measuring their interactions as they touch each other.

In business everything flows down to the bottom line.  Which means that there is a cost associated with everything.

While it used to be that the majority of companies would accept returns with no restock fees of any kind, the skyrocketing costs of returns forced many businesses to implement some sort of restock fees to help cover the costs.
