Full Marks Head Lice Treatment Product Review
This week we ask real mums to sample and review Full Marks – a revolutionary head lice treatment that contains no traditional pesticides.
Full Marks is gentle on your children’s scalp while still being clinically proven to kill head lice and eradicate eggs.
Unlike other head lice treatments that try to poison the louse with pesticides, Full Marks works by physical action causing irreversible dehydration and shrinkage of the louse.
Why Use Full Marks Head Lice Treatments?
✓ Contains no harsh traditional pesticides
✓ Clinically proven to kill head lice and eradicates eggs
✓ Quickly and easily treat head lice in under 10 minutes
✓ Odourless
✓ Suitable for sensitive skin
✓ Suitable for children over 2 years old
How to Use Full Marks:
- Apply to dry hair and leave for 10 minutes.
- Comb through hair with comb provided to remove the remains of lice and eggs.
- Finally wash out using non-conditioning shampoo. It’s that easy.
- Remember to retreat 7 days later*
*With many non-traditional insecticides – including Full Marks Solution – a second treatment, seven days after the first is required. This is to kill any newly-hatched lice which may have been missed in the initial treatment.
RRP: $19.95
Where To Buy: Available at your local pharmacy. Please call 1800 999 155 for your nearest store.

No smell, easy to use, did not work for us though!
This product was easy to use and had no smell, a nice change from the usual pungent ones that my daughters complain about. It went further than I thought it would – about half the bottle was enough for a full application for 2 girls with mid to long hair.
We waited the full 10 minutes (probably longer) and then started to comb with the enclosed comb. The hair was easy to comb and eggs and lice came out easily. However several of the lice were still wriggling away.
I so wanted this product to be the one as it was so nice and easy to use, but it seems that was not the case
I will try again in a week with the second half of the bottle and if results change will update!

FULL MARKS SOLUTION SPRAY REVIEW
20 mins, I had sprayed, waited, combed and washed. Usually with long hair it takes considerable time.It was surprising to me to see that the lice were actually dead. Will and have recommended this product and will definitely use again.

not so effective
Secondly, the spray makes the application easier, I kept it on her hair for half an hour and then washed off as per instructions , but I could still find live lice on her hair.
I will try it again after 7 days to see whether it works.

AWESOME PRODUCT,HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!
it was easy to wash out with just a couple of times with shampoo to remove the oiliness, but i would highly recommend it to everyone.
my only suggestion would be to have a trigger spray which will make it easier to spray when your hands are quite oily from it.
i will definetly buy this in the fututre.
i look forward to reviewing more products.

The name says it all absolutely brilliant!!
Perfect name for a great product! This product does everything it says it does and more.It works really well and fast,no smell,doesn’t have the nasty chemicals that others do! There was no worry of it running down into my sons eyes,goes on really easy and my son didn’t mind it at all. I also liked the fact it comes with it’s own comb so you are ready to tackle those little nasties. I am really impressed with this product and highly recommend it to all mums and will definitely make sure I always have some in the cupboard on hand ready to use,thank you for letting me try this great product! I will be telling all my friends as well!

Fabulous and Lice Free
The one bottle has lasted us (6 people in the family) for the original treatment plus the follow up and I think there is probably still enough in the bottle to do it all again!!
I have a few concerns though (although it does a better job than any other lice treament I have tried…. and I have tried them all).
1. It leaves the childs hair feeling oily. I see this as a bit of a positive though for the girls. I braid their hair and feel they are protected until their next wash
2. It doesn’t seem to assist much in removing the eggs. From what I can gather it KILLS the eggs but doesnt get them out. GRRR.
3. Some lice are still alive when I comb them out. I think it just takes a while to kill them… but I am sure it actually suffocates them all eventually.
The price is amazing ($20 per bottle) and since I am a member at our local chemist I will be getting it for $16. This is a lot better than other treatments and as we will get at least 2 FULL treatment schedules out the bottle it is only about 60c per treatment!! bargain.
I will be recommending this product to the school Council this year. If you have any further samples I would LOVE to send them to the school for its “problem” children

Recommended Highly
Would recommend to other mums or families with a constant lice problem .

great comb
I would buy this product entirely for the comb. What a great comb!! It is still a metal comb, but shorter, so not as harsh on the younger children’s hair, which is softer and more sensitive.
The product – i don’t particularly like the smell, but it was very easy to apply – love the spray bottle.
However, in the removal of the eggs? No luck. Great for killing live nits, and removing them, but it did not removed those stubborn, stuck on white eggs. And, if you have just one egg left, it lays plenty more nits, and the cycle continues.
I would use this product maybe as a preventative spray – but it would be better if it smelt nicer, and did not leave the kids hair so oily and greasy, even after one wash it was still quite oily.
I have only done one treatment each child, so I am going to give it a go again, just to see if it will remove those eggs!

What a product!
What an amazing product this is, so easy to use, and it actually works, without the discusting smell. Best nit comb I’ve ever used, love it, love it, love it. I liked that it didnt dry the hair out but just a little oily, which we can live with. Overall, best nit products I tried for years. Thankyou

loved it
have tried lots of different types of treament and found none that worked.
I found this product to be easy to use, fast. the only thing that i didnt like was the comb. I used one of the combs that i all ready had and it got the eggs out. the other thing i found was it tangled the girls long hair. all in all i will keep useing this product.

Loved how easy it was to use
Full marks treatment made my daughter’s head itch. She is quite sensitive. But not enough to upset her. I love how you don’t have to wash it out before combing. You can comb the hair after 10 minutes. This allowed my daughter to draw whilst I combed. The hair didn’t tangle as it had previously, so no screams. I was able to remove the lice and eggs quickly and effectively in a short period of time. I repeated the treatment after 7 days and found 1 or 2 more eggs. I haven’t seen any since. So yes the title of the product is perfect, as I would give it full marks as well!

So happy that it actually worked!!!!
I was a bit skeptical about it being a spray, I didnt think it would go very far as my daughter has long, VERY thick hair but I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to coat her hair. I did think it was very greasy though.
We both loved that it only had to be on her hair for 10mins but that time went so quickly it was probably on their 15-20 mins by the time we washed it out.
I didnt have too much trouble washing it out of her hair (I used tea tree shampoo which seems to work better than other “creamier” shampoos)
However I was quite disappointed when I started using the nit comb and the little buggers were coming out alive. I got a LOT out of her hair though and most of them were dead and she said her hair wasn’t itchy anymore so that was great for her.
During the next week I ran the comb through her hair and only got a few lice out each time so kind of thought it hadn’t worked very well but decided to wait until I did a 2nd treatment 7 days later before I passed final judgement.
So a week after the first treatment I did another one, which was just as quick and easy to do. I got quite a few more out with that combing but this time they were all dead! It is now another 9 days later and we are still lice free and very very happy!!!!
Thank you to Full Marks and MoM for sending this to us to trial, it is the only thing that has worked properly in about 7 months of wasting so much money and time fighting the horrid little creatures! I will definitely be buying it again, as long I I can find it, I have never seen it before and I’ve bought a LOT of head lice treatments!

Is easier to use than it looks
The only negative I would say is combing it through with the detector comb. My daughter complained bitterly that it hurt. I’m not entirely sure it really hurt more that it was really uncomfortable. It was very strange but it sort of hardened on her hair and it made for a strange feeling/noise. It wasn’t that it was tangled or knotted. Bit hard to explain.
Anyway I will try again within the week and may not leave on quite so long
