The Nitty Gritty NitFree Comb serves a whole family – and can be used without any need for chemical treatments. It works brilliantly with any ordinary hair conditioner, and even better when teamed with our Nitty Gritty Aromatherapy Head Lice Solution. Whats more it is covered by our lifetime guarantee! We believe it's the biggest advance in head lice treatments ever, and it has been trusted by over 3 million families! An independent survey carried out by the highly-respected parenting website Mumsnet.com shows that the Nitty Gritty Comb isn’t just the best performing head lice product... it’s the most recommended too. An incredible 96% of parents, teachers and healthcare professionals who took part in the survey rated the Nitty Gritty Comb as Very Good or Excellent, 94% would recommend it to a friend, with 91% saying that it worked better than every other head lice treatment they had used. Manufacturer's Description The Nitty Gritty comb is an elegant item which does something quickly and easily that no-one thought could be done at all. The award-winning Nitty Gritty Comb quickly and easily removes not only head lice and unsightly nits, the empty egg cases, but also extracts 'live' head louse eggs before they hatch. Instead of using nasty chemicals for this, use the Nitty Gritty comb. This is made possible because of the 33 round-tipped teeth which go through your hair quickly and easily, and the 'micro-spiral' groove in each one gently removes anything that's attached to your hair... lice, nits and even unhatched 'live' louse eggs. The rounded tips won't scratch your scalp - and just one Nitty Gritty Comb is all you need to check and treat the whole family. It gets the job done using advanced design and old-fashioned common sense. We are very proud of it, and if you don't think it's the best head lice product you've ever tried, we'll happily give you a full refund, at any time. That's how good it is. Review: Rips hair and not 100% effective. - I am not convinced this works as thoroughly as other people say it does. I used it exactly according to pack instructions, wet hair, loads of conditioner, brush in one direction, systematically working through the hair over the head, wiping the comb each time to take out any eggs or lice. Firstly it is a night mare trying to take the lice and eggs out of the comb, it takes a lot of wiping, not just one stroke of the tissue/fabric. Secondly it ripped my daughters beautiful, long hair. The comb is badly designed at either side, there is a piece of metal that has not been smoothed off that catches hair and rips it, so the hair is damaged. I am surprised that this was not picked up when testing and trialling the comb before launching on the general market. We combed for daily for 10 days, by which time I had had enough, I was spending about 2 hours every night combing hair of my two children and myself. We still had eggs and lice in our hair and I resorted to using Hedrin. I had wanted to rid our hair of lice by combing only, as others said they have done, but it wasn't possible with this comb. I don't normally give low scores for reviews, but this time I feel I must. This comb seems ideal for short hair, but I wouldn't go near long hair with this comb. Review: Way too harsh, over engineered and no more effective than a regular plastic narrow toothed comb .. - This comb is certainly sturdy and does remove the disgusting parasites, but like other reviews have pointed out it pulls out my daughter's hair in chunks. She has long fine hair and despite using it on wet hair, laden with conditioner and coconut oil, it's shredded her hair trying to get it through. You decide whether it's worth it, but for me it might be a slight evolution in design compared to the regular plastic type, but it's still a flawed design that needs refining. And even after going through the barbaric process of ripping out my little one's hair, there's still nits. If I'm going to have to do several passes anyway, I'd rather do several passes with a less clinical and harsh comb - back to the plastic one for me. Not overly impressed and I can't see why it's so highly rated when it butchers the hair?! ## Features - PLEASE BE AWARE if it doesn’t have 'Nitty Gritty NitFree’ ENGRAVED on the handle of the comb and doesn't come in our packaging, it is NOT A GENUINE NITTY GRITTY COMB. - Our PATENTED micro-spiral grooves remove live lice, nits AND eggs quickly in one go. No chemicals necessary - so safe for all ages. One comb can be used to treat a whole family - In an independent survey carried out by Mumsnet, 96% of the participants said they would recommend the Nitty Gritty comb. - To get the very best results, use with our Nitty Gritty Head Lice Solution, but can be used with ordinary hair conditioner or other head lice treatment. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000KUALPE | | Best Sellers Rank | 2,363 in Health & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Health & Personal Care ) 2 in Lice Combs | | Brand | Nitty Gritty | | Brand Name | Nitty Gritty | | Colour | Assorted | | Country Of Origin | Argentina | | Hair Type | All | | Item Weight | 50 g | | Manufacturer | Linkplace Limited | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of items | 1 | | Power Source | manual | | Power source | manual | | Size | 1 Count (Pack of 1) | | UPC | 190283331950 798627863831 721864977832 190283632033 662578546658 | | Unit Count | 1 count | | Unit count | 1 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Nitty Gritty - **Colour:** Assorted - **Hair type:** All - **Manufacturer:** Linkplace Limited - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Number of items:** 1 - **Package Size Name:** Single - **Power source:** manual - **Size:** 1 Count (Pack of 1) - **Unit count:** 1 count ## Images ![Nitty Gritty NitFree Comb - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jp7-p2ptL.jpg) ![Nitty Gritty NitFree Comb - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61zQawr9tHL.jpg) ![Nitty Gritty NitFree Comb - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81gZY-a3foL.jpg) ![Nitty Gritty NitFree Comb - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61M8fmKIU+L.jpg) ![Nitty Gritty NitFree Comb - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61brNKtDQyL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is the Delivery discrete? as all the post to my address goes to a shared room for collection for the whole building** A: Yes it came boxed up. I'd forgotten what I'd ordered until I opened it. **Q: Does this comb work well with thin and little hair ?** A: Yes! My boys had very short & sometimes shaved hair at times. The comb has spiral 'catchers', so if you slide it along the hair/head you'll catch everything, eggs and lice :) The normal plastic and metal combs cannot get the eggs on shaved heads! **Q: This doesn't seem to be pulling eggs out when i use it dry on my nieces hair? Does conditoner with this remove eggs? I've had to use my nails to do it** A: We use this comb on dry hair to check if they have any live lice and it has proven to be very successful. But to get rid of the lice and kill the eggs, we use a treatment as the conditioner method didn't work for us. We all have very long hair. **Q: Has anyone actually received the genuine nitty gritty comb when ordering this? I don't want to pay £10 for a fake!** A: Mine arrived rusty ! And to be honest it just snagged and pulled and snapped hair ! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Rips hair and not 100% effective. *by B***M on 2 November 2015* I am not convinced this works as thoroughly as other people say it does. I used it exactly according to pack instructions, wet hair, loads of conditioner, brush in one direction, systematically working through the hair over the head, wiping the comb each time to take out any eggs or lice. Firstly it is a night mare trying to take the lice and eggs out of the comb, it takes a lot of wiping, not just one stroke of the tissue/fabric. Secondly it ripped my daughters beautiful, long hair.

She has long fine hair and despite using it on wet hair, laden with conditioner and coconut oil, it's shredded her hair trying to get it through. You decide whether it's worth it, but for me it might be a slight evolution in design compared to the regular plastic type, but it's still a flawed design that needs refining. And even after going through the barbaric process of ripping out my little one's hair, there's still nits. If I'm going to have to do several passes anyway, I'd rather do several passes with a less clinical and harsh comb - back to the plastic one for me. Not overly impressed and I can't see why it's so highly rated when it butchers the hair?! ### ⭐ one serious design flaw *by E***P on 8 November 2013* This flaw was mentioned in an earlier review but I want to affirm that it is a real problem. There is a gap in the comb where the teeth emerge, and it is large enough to collect water, lice eggs and nymphs (young lice) inside the circular comb handle. I observed this, and even poured water with a few nymphs out of the handle. Basically you can't be sure if the comb is free of lice, which can easily transfer back to the head you're combing or another head. I also purchased the Bug Buster Kit from the Community Hygiene Concern website (also recommended by other reviewers), and used it immediately after the Nitty Gritty comb had stopped pulling lice from my child's hair. The Bug Buster removed SIGNIFICANTLY MORE lice after I thought my child's hair was clear. The Bug Buster comb can also be cleaned thoroughly. I'll be throwing away the Nitty Gritty comb. ## Frequently Bought Together - Nitty Gritty Nit Comb(Assorted Colors) - Nit Free Terminator Lice Comb - Professional Stainless Steel Comb for Effective Head Lice Treatment (Color May Vary) (Pack of 1) - Licefreee Lice Spray for Kids Hair, Includes Professional Metal Nit & Lice Comb for Kids, Kills on Contact, 6 Fl Oz --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/47913128-nitty-gritty-nitfree-comb](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/47913128-nitty-gritty-nitfree-comb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-09*
