Destined for greatness in the hair business, Anne came on the scene at age 19 with more energy than she knew what to do with! She started Hair.comb around the time the internet was just taking off (hence the play on words). As her business evolved, Anne pivoted and made decisions right when change needed to happen. We talk about her journey, our time as owner/employee and what to do about lice (!)http://hairdotcomb.comSteps on how to eliminate lice at home:1. Confirm that it's lice and not dandruff or another scalp disorder.2. Purchase a delousing kit.2. Wet the hair. Apply olive oil or mayonnaise to the hair and saturate.3. Wrap in plastic. A bag or Saran Wrap will do4. Apply heat for up to 15 min. (if you don't have access to a dryer, microwave a damp towel and wrap around the plastic. Remove when cooled)5. Take off plastic wrap and cleanse with a delousing shampoo. May need a few washings to get all of the oil out.6. Detangle the hair. Divide into 4 sections, two in front and two in back. Starting at the nape of the neck on one side, use the nit comb in the kit and slide the comb down the length of the hair. Part 1/2 " sections at a time and move to the top. After each swipe, clean the comb in a towel or bowl of water. Repeat for all sections. 7. Make sure to put all implements, towels, bowls, plastic, etc in a large plastic bag for 48 hours.8. Wash all bedding and common fabrics in hot water followed by a hot dryer.Spread the word!
