The Shepherd Method 

The Shepherd Method of strand-by-strand nit and lice removal was created by world renowned lice expert Katie Shepherd of the Shepherd Institute. The Shepherd Method is a safe non-toxic alternative means of treating head lice. Through its methodical approach of consistent and careful combing, and examination of every strand of hair for thorough removal of any infestation evidence, a full eradication is ensured. This method also incorporates many safety procedures to ensure that the hair has been checked and re-checked, allowing each individual to be treated effectively only one time, and be monitored after that. The Shepherd Method certified professionals using this approach have built a reputation of being the best in the industry.
