Brief Answer:
Use perlice cream rinse
Detailed Answer:
Hi....I suggest you use perlice cream rinse.
Before using, wash hair with regular shampoo and towel dry. Apply enough of permethrin cream rinse to saturate hair and scalp, especially behind the ears and on the nape of the neck. Leave on hair for 5 minutes, but not longer than that. Rinse with water.
