A special fine-toothed comb that can pick out lice is used.
For a treatment with louse comb alone, it is recommended to comb the hair for an hour to an hour and a half (depending the length and type of the hair) daily or every second day for 14 days.
Wetting the hair especially with water and shampoo or conditioner will facilitate the combing and the removal of lice, eggs and nits.

Electronic louse combs use a small electrical charge to kill lice.
The metal teeth of the comb have alternating positively and negatively charged tines, which are powered by a small battery.
When the comb is used on dry hair, lice make contact with multiple tines of the fine-toothed comb, thereby closing the circuit and receiving an electrical charge.
A non-peer-reviewed letter has been published in a dermatology journal claiming effectiveness based on personal experience (total of 6 uses).
For those with long or fine hair, the metal long tooth combs seem to snag and pull hair.
Metal combs may be better for thick hair, while plastic short-tooth combs are best used for treating long and fine hair.
