Is Having The Shampoo For Lice Removal On Head For More Than 3 Hours A Cause For Concern?

My daughter had head lice. I bought the kit to get rid of them. The first step was shampoo. Instructions said let it sit for 10 minutes no more. My daughter got in the shower and I told her to let it sit for a couple more minutes. I neglected to tell her to rinse...assumed she would. Turns out she did not. It has been on her head for 3-4 hours. She is 12 and weighs right around 100.
