Abstract:
A method for treating and killing lice and lice eggs in hair of a person includes the steps of: combing and ironing the hair of the person using a hand-held flat-iron device. The flat-iron device includes a handle having a first arm and a second arm that is pivotally coupled to the first arm at first ends thereof, wherein in an open position, strands of hair are inserted between the first and second arms. The flat-iron device also includes at least one heat conducting plate that is disposed along an inner surface of one of the first and second arms. The plate is operably coupled to a source of heat for controlled heating of the plate to a temperate of at least 130° F. A first edge of the heat conducting plate extends to within 1 millimeter of a first edge of the arm on which the heat conducting plate is disposed. In a closed position, the strands of hair are pinched and held between the two arms in contact with the heated plate resulting in heat being applied to the hair including within a zone that is less than 5 millimeters from a scalp of the person.
