Nikki’s Personal Story: Lice, Hair Loss & Finding Relief

Nikki, Co-founder

Hi Lice Mamas Families,

I Want to Share Something Personal

I didn’t plan on writing this… but I know how many of you might need to hear it.

A little while ago, I got lice from Emma (because… of course I did 🙃).

And normally, that’s annoying. Manageable. Just part of mom life.

But this time felt different.

What Made It So Stressful

I’ve been dealing with perimenopausal hair loss — something that’s brought on a surprising amount of stress and emotion.

So when I realized I had lice, my first thought wasn’t just “ugh.”
It was:

“I cannot handle hours of combing or even our cosmetic comb through my already fragile hair.”

The thought of endless, repetitive comb-outs on thinning strands was honestly giving me anxiety.

And Then… Relief

In that moment, I felt something I didn’t expect:
Gratitude.

Because I knew we had another option.

Our heated air treatment meant I could opt out of the cosmetic comb-out process — the part that even gently pulls already delicate hair.  

Instead:

  • The treatment  was handled with our FDA-cleared heated air device
  • The process felt like a warm, soothing scalp treatment
  • And the entire experience was calm, efficient, and gentle

No panic. No damage. No overwhelm.

Why I’m Sharing This

Because if I had this thought… I know I’m not the only one.

So many of you are navigating:

  • Hair thinning
  • Hair loss
  • Sensitive scalps
  • Kids who can’t tolerate long treatments

And traditional lice removal just doesn’t take that into account.

There Is Another Way

Lice happens — but the experience doesn’t have to be stressful, painful, or damaging to your hair.

There is a way to treat it that feels:

  • Gentle
  • Thoughtful
  • Respectful of your hair and scalp
  • And honestly… even a little relaxing

A Small Ask

Even if you don’t need us right now —

📌 Save our number: 646-202-0531

Because when lice shows up, you don’t want to be scrambling.

And if you (or your child) are dealing with sensitive scalps or hair concerns, having the right solution already in your back pocket makes all the difference.

I built this business to change the experience, but moments like this remind me why it matters so much.
