a back-to-school staple, Fairy Tales Hair Care’s
Rosemary Repel® Collection
is proven to prevent head lice
--85%
of All School Districts Report At Least One Outbreak of Lice Every Year--
Passaic, New Jersey, August 2012 – Pencils and
erasers aren’t the only thing students are bringing back to school this season;
head lice outbreaks are rampant during the school year. In fact, according to
the Center for Disease Control, there are between 6-12 million cases of head
lice cases annually.
“Preventing lice is much easier than managing an outbreak,
which can be a stressful, time consuming and an expensive experience for both parents
and children,” said Risa Barash, founder of Fairy Tales Hair Care. “Outbreaks
can impact entire schools, play groups, athletic/dance facilities and daycare
centers.” Fortunately, following a few simple guidelines can help deter the
problem. “Don’t share hats, helmets, brushes and combs and do weekly head
checks; use it as a nice time to talk to your child,” recommends Barash.
Since 1999, www.fairytaleshaircare.com
has been the source for education and tips on head lice prevention and
removal. The site provides educational material and how to videos to help
educate parents, school nurses and teachers on all things head lice related. The
Rosemary Repel® line of hair care is designed to repel lice using organic
ingredients such as rosemary, tea tree, citronella, peppermint and lavender
oils. Rosemary Repel Hair Care is clinically proven to be over 95% effective
when combined. Gentle and safe for everyday use, each product is infused with
aloe, jojoba and vitamins that leave hair soft, smooth and shiny.
The free iPhone app, “The Facts of Lice” is the first of its
kind to report and track lice outbreaks. With over 250,000 downloads to date,
parents and educators can anonymously report an outbreak and receive
notifications when an outbreak is in a selected zip code.
