The type or length of hair does not impact effectiveness as long as the hair can be combed or picked through with a standard comb.
The LouseBuster technology is based on breakthrough research conducted by evolutionary parasitologist Dr. Dale Clayton and students at the University of Utah. The initial research was published in November, 2006 in the journal Pediatrics.The
effectiveness data we mention on our website and in any marketing
collateral is substantiated by later research which was submitted to the
FDA to receive clearance. This later research will be published in the
near future.
