The Hairforce featured in Carole Confidential, Carole Caplin’s advice page where she recommended us to a desperate father struggling to clear his children of nits and head lice.

Q. ‘I’m a recently widowed dad with two girls aged six and ten. Both have thick, long hair and are regularly infested with nits and head lice. My wife always struggled with this issue, but I haven’t a clue. The girls are really embarrassed about it and everyone gets stressed. The products I’ve used don’t seem to work. What else can I do? Amar, Hendon
A. It is no exaggeration to say that this issue is, for the most part, defeating families up and down the country. We spend £30 million a year trying to deal with it, yet 80% of what we buy just doesn’t work. The alternative is hours and hours of combing, and probably a new low in your embattled relationship, and even then there are no guarantees. There is a company called The Hairforce, and children I know who have been treated there seem to think it’s great fun. Their Lice Assassins will visit your home and clear your girls by hand, without chemicals. Alternatively, you can visit their salon in Primrose Hill. For the parent this is a no-stress, guaranteed answer; for the kids it’s an expert ‘spa’ treatment, plus entertainment with the latest computer games and specialist seating.

Families North ‘Declare war on nits’

Well loved and well read local parenting bible features our service.  Success!

No hair goes uncombed. No louse gets out alive

‘There they are again. Nits! You shampoo and comb and think the job’s done. A few days later they’re back. Sometimes, despite diligent care, they just won’t go away and stay away. It’s estimated that nearly half of four to 11 year olds get nits every year and many parents find shampoo-type treatments unsatisfactory.
Mum, Dee Wright and her team of “lice assassins” are dedicated to clearing the heads of children all over north London, from The Hairforce Lounge in Primrose Hill. Parents can bring their children to have their heads cleared. Home visits can also be arranged. “We clear the nits by hand so it’s a totally natural, chemical-free service,” says Dee “We do it for those parents who struggle with cracking it themselves be it because of time, energy, patience or skill.” Dee guarantees that your child’s head will be nit free in three sessions. There are four days in between each visit; the timings track the development cycle of the louse. And the lice assassins use a range of equipment most of us don’t have in the home including lice hoovers, special lighting, magnifying visors and specialist tweezers.
A check up costs £20 and to clear requires three sessions costing  £30 each. For an appointment, call The Hairforce hotline on 07720 838 271
