How long will i need to comb lice and nits from infested hair after initial treatment

Let explian: If were infested with lice you have to treat it yourself and your family and pets also. Wash all bed sheets. The comb is used to clear the lice or the eggs from the hair , so for one .

Until clear: It is tedious but every last nit must be combed out to ensure cure (hours of combing).
