Rated 4 out of 5 by Lisa from A good addition to head lice treatments I wouldn't solely use the Robi Comb Pro as a form of head lice treatment, however it is a good way of maintaining hair once it has been treated. Once the hair has been treated I use the comb every few days to check for lice and kill any stray bugs I come across. A good non toxic product. Date published: Rated 1 out of 5 by Mum23 from Waste of money Doesn't do a thing.

My child came home from camp crawling with lice. I was really hopeful that this comb would be the answer and I would not need chemicals to get rid of them. The comb did not detect a thing. Absolutely useless.

Very disappointing. Once her hair was cleaned and dried, I took the Robi Comb to her scalp, and I caught one. It stopped him right in his tracks. I was pleased. I continued to go through, section by section, piece by piece. It zapped no more than one more time. I was sure we were rid of them for good. And we were. I found it relatively easy to use, although I do wish it were larger, one giant comb might be nice…. It is a bit flimsy, the battery compartment does not want to be removed, and it looks like it could break fairly easily.

Zapping and vacuuming lice with an electric comb will give you some satisfaction, but you will be disappointed in the long term results if you neglect removing these nits and get stuck in the endless lice cycle. To get rid of lice for good, you must remove each egg from the hair. You can purchase the Nit Free Terminator Comb here. If you want to buy an electric lice comb because zapping and vacuuming lice sounds like a good alternative to lice products, by all means feel free.

However, you should also purchase a metal comb to remove the remaining lice eggs the electric comb will leave behind. Requiring dry hair for lice combing doesn't seem like a big deal, but it can definitely be exhausting if your child is screaming because you are raking a fine-toothed lice comb through her dry and usually tangled hair. Lice combing dry hair can be painful, especially for children with thick or curly hair or sensitive heads.

My experience after working with different hair types is that it is easier and less painful to use a lice comb in wet, conditioned hair. Unfortunately, all electric lice combs require dry hair. In my experience, the electrical zap does not always kill lice.

Many lice I removed were still active and moving. If you are interested in purchasing an electric lice comb, here are the best ones on the market:. The V-Comb also known as the vacuum comb is my top pick for electric lice combs.

When combed through small sections of dry hair, it suctions up lice still alive and lice eggs into a small mesh bag. After you have finished combing, remove the bag filled with lice and lice eggs from the device, place the provided cap on it, and throw it in the garbage. The mesh bag keeps all the lice securely contained. This comb can be used without any lice treatment product because it works on live, moving lice. The comb also comes with a cleaning tool so you can easily clean out any lice or nits that may be stuck in the comb after use.

I have used this comb multiple times, and the concept is a good one. There is something very satisfying about vacuuming up lice and even watching them squirm around a bit in the bag.

The comb also only works on dry hair. Combing through dry hair can be a painful experience, especially for kids with thick or curly hair. I found it to be most effective when I used it in long hair because I could easily section the hair. It was more difficult to use in shorter hair because I could not section it as cleanly.

The V-Comb cannot be a one-time treatment. However, compared to spending perhaps hundreds of dollars on next-to-useless lice treatment products, it is certainly a much better value for your money. Be aware that the comb only comes with four non-reusable lice bag containers.
