Summer is here and with it comes sunshine, outdoor fun, and a whole lot of head-to-head contact. Whether your child is heading to a day camp, sports program, or overnight adventure, it’s important to be lice-aware before the summer kicks off.
At Lice Removal by Magic Hands in Signal Hill, we help families across Long Beach, Lakewood, and nearby cities prevent and treat lice year-round. Summer camps are a peak season for new lice cases, but with a few smart steps, you can stay one step ahead.
✅ 1. Schedule a Head Check Before Camp
Lice can spread quickly in group settings, especially during sleepovers or team activities. The best way to protect your child and others is to get a professional head check before camp begins.
We offer in-salon lice screenings for kids of all ages. Our team can detect even early-stage cases that often go unnoticed.
✅ 2. Remind Kids Not to Share Personal Items
Teach your child not to share:
-
Hats, helmets, or beanies
-
Hairbrushes or combs
-
Sleeping bags and pillows (at overnight camps)
-
Costumes, headbands, or hair accessories
✅ 3. Avoid Over-the-Counter Repellent Sprays
Many parents rely on essential oil sprays, but most lose effectiveness quickly. Instead of depending on unproven products, focus on early detection and good hygiene practices. If your child has long hair, braid it or tie it in a bun to limit exposure.
✅ 4. Ask Camp Staff About Their Lice Policy
Before camp begins, ask:
-
Do they check for lice during check-in?
-
What’s their protocol if a case is found mid-week?
-
Are parents notified when there’s a case?
Knowing their policy helps you make informed choices quickly.
