RID Daily Defense Shampoo & Conditioner bottle, 6.8 fl oz (201 mL)

Description

RID Daily Defense only belongs in the prevention slot. It is designed for households that want a routine support product after treatment or during higher-risk periods, not for families dealing with confirmed live lice right now.

That makes it useful in a catalogue sense, but only if the row stays honest about what it is not. This is not a substitute for a treatment product.

Pros

  • RID says it helps neutralize the static charge that attracts lice
  • RID says it impedes lice attachment
  • It is both a shampoo and conditioner in one product
  • Official directions are short: leave on wet hair for 2 minutes, then rinse

Cons

  • RID says it should not be used to treat lice
  • If lice are detected, RID says to use a RID treatment product instead
  • It must be used daily for the 24/7 defence claim
  • The ingredient list includes fragrance

How to use

  1. 1.Use on wet hair like a traditional shampoo.
  2. 2.Massage into the hair and scalp.
  3. 3.Leave on for 2 minutes.
  4. 4.Rinse out with lukewarm water.
  5. 5.Do not use a separate conditioner.
  6. 6.Use daily for ongoing defence.
