Operating the V-Comb
1. To change the combing angle, hold and push down the
knobs on both sides of the combing unit and adjust the
angle of the teeth. Release both knobs to secure in place.
Two set positions are available:
straight position or raking position.
2. Hair should be clean, conditioned and dry. Brush
thoroughly to remove any knots.
Separate the hair into sections, no wider than the teeth,
using hair clips. Switch on the V-Comb to begin treatment.
Always start from the nape of the neck and work your way
up, one section at a time, combing the top of the head
last. Ensure you are holding the comb the right way up.
Straight position Raking position

Operating the V-Comb
3. Focus on one small section, no wider than the teeth,
at a time. Comb through each section of hair from root
to tip ensuring you start as close as possible to the
scalp.
4. Comb through each section of hair in different
directions (top, bottom, left and right). Repeat this
through each section several times.

2. With the brush provided, clean any head lice and eggs
that might be caught between the teeth of the comb. Fill
a bowl or sink, about 10 cm deep, with hot (not boiling) tap
water and only submerge the combing head.
DO NOT SUBMERGE THE MAIN BODY OF THE
V-COMB, IT WILL CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE DEVICE.
Remove from water and dry thoroughly. Do not shake the
combing head as it may damage the valve.
Do not insert anything into the
back of the combing head or
hold it under running water. This
will damage the valve.
Maintaining the V-Comb
1. After treatment, switch off and unplug the V-Comb
from the power source. Remove the combing head
from the main body by disassembling the unit. Detach
the capture lter carefully, replace the V-Comb capture
lter lid to the capture lter and dispose of properly.
DO NOT USE BOILING WATER TO CLEAN THE
V-COMB AS IT WILL DAMAGE THE UNIT. Ideal water
temperature is be between 70 - 80°C.

Treatment Period
Important Treatment Summary
Continue to comb the hair daily for at least two weeks during an infestation to ensure all lice and eggs have been eliminated.
If there is an ongoing outbreak, daily treatment is essential to ensure reinfestation does not occur. To assist in preventing the
problem of reinfestation thereafter, continuing to use the V-Comb twice a week is recommended.
1. Ensure hair is clean and free of knots or tangles.
2. Section and separate the hair. Focus on one section at a time before moving on.
3. Keep sections of hair smaller for better results (no wider than the teeth of the comb).
4. Begin combing from the nape of the neck and work your way to the top of the head.
5. With each section of hair, comb through at all angles several times.
6. Comb thoroughly and regularly during an infestation - persistency is the key to successful head lice removal!
