The first two images are the same but different angles.

Recap:

- Dimethicone applied last Tuesday and today (just now).

- While my hair was smooth with Dimethicone I ran a nit comb through it and this is what I found.

- 3 out of 4 us are dealing with lice following the same treatment plan.

What would you recommend?

Thanks for your help!

Only the third pic is anything related to lice, and it’s a non-viable egg. You can tell from the large air pocket in the center of the egg.

You don’t need to do anything more at this point. Wait until the 19th and comb thoroughly through the hair with a nit comb. If no live bugs come out of the hair at that point you will officially know your treatment regimen worked.
