Why did the drugstore shampoo stop working?
Most classic lice shampoos rely on nerve-acting insecticides. In a 2016 US survey, lice collected in 48 states carried resistance genes to those ingredients in about 98% of cases. That's why so many parents say they used the box exactly as directed and saw live lice walking around right after. Smother & Seal skips that route entirely: it works by physical action, not by poisoning the louse.
How does the 10-day plan work?
Day 1: apply the dimethicone lotion to dry hair, down to the roots, leave it on as directed on the label, then comb section by section with the steel comb and shampoo out. Day 10: repeat exactly the same steps to catch any eggs that hatched since. Every morning after: mist the rosemary spray before school.
Is it safe for my kids?
It's pesticide-free and uses dimethicone, a silicone found in many hair-care products. Adult supervision is required, follow the age guidance on the label, and keep it away from eyes. Important: the lotion is flammable while on hair, so no hair dryer, straightener, curling iron or flame until it's fully washed out.
Which pack should I choose?
Lice rarely stop at one head. Most families choose Buy 2, Get 1 FREE: 3 kits, so you can do the full plan on everyone who needs it the same evening. Big family or long hair? Buy 3, Get 2 FREE (5 kits) is the best value per kit.
What if it doesn't work for us?

It's not you. Most US lice have stopped responding to classic shampoos.
In a 2016 survey of lice from 48 states, about 98% carried resistance genes to the nerve-acting insecticides used in classic drugstore shampoos.
So parents do everything right and still see live lice walking around after the treatment. Then there's the second trap: eggs keep hatching for days after you think you're done. Smother & Seal closes both doors. Dimethicone coats lice and nits with a silicone film, a physical action with nothing to build resistance to. Then a second application on Day 10 catches the eggs that hatched since.
1. Smother (Day 1)
Apply the dimethicone lotion to dry hair down to the roots, leave on, then comb out section by section with the steel comb.
2. Seal (Day 10 + every morning)
Repeat on Day 10 to catch newly hatched eggs, then a quick mist of rosemary spray every morning before school.

Three tools. One plan. Zero pesticides.
Everything the lice clinics rely on, in one box you use at home.
Dimethicone Lotion
A high-dimethicone lotion that coats lice and nits with a silicone film. No nerve-acting insecticide.
In clinical studies, dimethicone lotions performed as well as or better than classic insecticide treatments, with fewer scalp irritations.
Stainless Steel Lice Comb
Long, tightly spaced metal teeth that reach the scalp and slide nits down the hair shaft. Not the flimsy plastic comb from the box.
Rosemary Daily Spray
A light leave-in detangler with rosemary. Lice hate the smell, parents love how it smells. A daily care step, not a guarantee.
Study results refer to published dimethicone research, not to the Smother & Seal formula.

Get Smother & SealFrequently Asked Questions
How many heads does one kit cover?
One bottle of lotion covers the two applications (Day 1 and Day 10) on one head of long hair. Short hair may need less. For several heads, choose Buy 2, Get 1 FREE or Buy 3, Get 2 FREE.
Does it wash out easily?
Dimethicone is silky, so plan on one or two shampoos to wash it all out. Shampoo before adding water to break it up faster.
Can adults use it too?
Yes. Lice don't care about age or how clean you are. Adults use exactly the same Day 1 + Day 10 plan.
Can I use a hair dryer or straightener with it?
No. The lotion is flammable while on hair. Keep away from hair dryers, straighteners, curling irons, flames and cigarettes until it is fully washed out.
Does the rosemary spray keep lice away for good?
No product can honestly promise that, and we won't. Lice hate the smell of rosemary and the spray makes daily comb checks easier, but it's a daily care step, not a guarantee.
Do I still need to wash all the bedding?
Lice live on the scalp and don't survive long off the head. Washing pillowcases and recently worn hats in hot water is enough for most families; no need to bag the whole house.
What is your return policy?
Try Smother & Seal for 60 days. If you're not completely satisfied, contact us and we'll give you a full refund.
