1 -- The treatment should be applied for at least 30 minutes and up to a period of 8 hours. The cleanliness of the hair has little to do with the presence of pediculosis. At least two treatments will be needed to treat the condition successfully. Permethrin 1% (NIX) should never be used around the eyes. Lice in the lashes or brows should be treated with petroleum jelly.
