One of the many erroneous beliefs about lice and their remedies is that they do not come to colored hair or that hair dye kills them.

This is wrong, and the reason for this widespread and popular remedy is because some of the components of hair dye are ammonia and alcohol. The strong odor given off by ammonia and its high toxicity in your case has given rise to this false remedy. There may be casual cases of people who claim that after dyeing their hair the parasites had disappeared. But this is possibly the result of chance, since, as we have commented on other occasions, they are insects with exceptional resistance.

What is more than certain is that the chemical components of these products can cause allergic reactions or dryness on the scalp of people, which can be much more annoying than head lice, and in short, the remedy could be worse than the disease.

After or during any coloring two things are most likely to happen:

• In the case of already having an infestation of these parasites during coloring, it is possible that some nits, as the eggs of these parasites are known, survive and hatch giving rise to new lice, which will reproduce and multiply again, starting again to be as at the beginning, infested.
• Even if the hair is already dyed, it will be just as attractive to these parasites, not reducing their interest in these cases. They can be infested by contact with another person suffering from them.

If we become infested by these parasites, whether we have dyed our hair or not, there are different remedies that can help us get rid of them. We will talk about vinegar and its effects and the multitude of natural products that exist to try to eliminate them, although they are often treatments that take a long time and are very expensive. That is why JOOPI Kids patented JOOPI Magic® offers the best treatment at the best price in all our establishments.
