Description

RID SUPER MAX Advanced Shampoo makes the most sense for families that want a pesticide-free treatment in a wash-based shampoo format rather than a leave-in serum or long contact-time product. The main appeal is convenience: it cleans the hair in the same step as treatment and uses a straightforward 10-minute routine.

It is less appealing if you need the clearest retreat schedule because the standalone insert is weaker on repeat timing than some other RID products.

Pros

  • RID describes it as pesticide-free
  • RID says it cleans hair in one easy shampoo treatment
  • Official insert says it is intended for adults and children 1 year of age and older
  • RID says it helps keep new lice away from treated hair for up to 3 days

Cons

  • Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes
  • Do not use if the scalp is irritated or injured
  • Do not use longer than directed or overnight while sleeping
  • The ingredient list includes fragrance

How to use

  1. 1.Use a towel to cover eyes and exposed skin areas and massage from roots to tips, paying particular attention behind the ears and at the back hairline.

  3. 3.After 10 minutes, add lukewarm water, work up a lather, and rinse thoroughly.
