Infused with natural oils and a refreshing grapefruit fragrance, it also conditions and detangles hair without greasiness. Ideal for children aged 3 and above, this British-made spray offers a proactive, effective, and pleasant solution to keep kids lice-free during school and play. ## Description Product Description Use our Nitty Gritty Conditioning Defence Spray daily on your children's hair to keep those pesky lice from crawling on to your little one’s heads. Made from a carefully chosen blend of ingredients with a lovely grapefruit scent, that smells great to us, but not so great to head lice! It not only keeps those pesky lice at bay but keeps everyone's hair fragranced, soft, shiny, de-tangled and in tip-top condition. Simply spritz it on your child’s hair every morning before nursery, school or any other occasion where they will come into close contact with other children. How does it work? Head lice feed on the human scalp and just like mosquitoes, head lice use their sense of smell to detect the presence of a 'new' host during even the briefest head-to-head contact. Our Nitty Gritty Conditioning Defence Spray messes up their 'radar' and encourages head lice to stay on their existing host rather than migrate. It's an eco-and family-friendly 250ml atomiser spray that will last for ages. Ingredients Aqua, Polysorbate 20, Glycerin, Phenoxyethanol, PEG/PPG-18/18, Dimethicone, Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin, Panthenol, Sodium Hydroxide, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Herb Oil, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Melia Azadirachta (Neem) Seed Oil, Limonene+, Linalool+, Citral+, Pinene+ Directions Simply spritz it on your child’s hair every morning before nursery, school or any other occasion where they will come into close contact with other children.

STORE in a cool dry place, out of direct sunlight. Review: Would recommend - Good Nit repellant/defence. Lasts the day. Not greasy. Easy to use. Would recommend one application per day. Review: It works - I have been using this on my kids hair since they were both three, they are 5 and 8 now and never had lice, so I'm putting it down to this stuff doing the trick! It is more expensive than it used to be but honestly it works so well and lasts a very long time ( my daughter has very long hair and it still lasts ages)... the smell is quite pleasant too. Highly recommend 👌 ## Features - EFFECTIVE DAILY DEFENCE – Keep your family protected with our Nitty Gritty nit prevention spray for kids.

If your child gets headlice you need the nitty gritty lotion and comb. **Q: Are "head lice defence spray" and "conditioning defence spray" are identical products?** A: I have received the conditioning defence spray and I would say they are not the same as the head lice defence spray has a stronger smell, similar smell but stronger, hope I can can an exchange, without any hassle!!! **Q: Is this as effective than buying tree tea oil and diluting it in water and putting it in a spray bottle?** A: Much more effective than tea tree. My daughter never got another infestation in primary school after using this. Every time the school sent a letter about lice we used it & managed to avoid catching them. Children are always huddled together with their heads touching. We swear by it. **Q: What does it smell like?** A: it has a nice smell with a blend of natural ingredients with a gentle and lovely lavender perfume and Tea Tree Oil, that keeps everyone’s hair fragranced. here are the ingredients:Aqua, Dimethicone Copolyol, Amodimthicone, Panthenol, Tideceth-12, Glycerin, Cetrimonium Chloride, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavenderoil), Azadirachta indica (Neem oil), Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree Oil), Triethanolamine, Disoidium Edta, Magnesium Chloride, Magnesium Nitrate, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone. Hope this is off some help to you, i have tried different defence products and this is the best of all and has kept the nits away too plus the smell is nice too. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Would recommend *by D***N on 19 February 2026* Good Nit repellant/defence. Lasts the day. Not greasy. Easy to use. Would recommend one application per day. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works *by K***E on 21 November 2023* I have been using this on my kids hair since they were both three, they are 5 and 8 now and never had lice, so I'm putting it down to this stuff doing the trick! It is more expensive than it used to be but honestly it works so well and lasts a very long time ( my daughter has very long hair and it still lasts ages)... the smell is quite pleasant too. Highly recommend 👌 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very rare I use this word but this stuff is AMAZING!!!! *by S***C on 9 October 2016* Nits are my one of my worse nightmares, I have dreadlocks...... Yikes!!!!! Granddaughter has been at nursery/school for 3 years & she came home just after she first started with an infestation. Obviously this lead to sheer bedlam & scarf wearing & me doing lots of research into the best prevention with no chemicals as she can be sensitive to them, baby bath brings her out in a terrible itchy rash. I took a desperate gamble & bought this product. She's not come home with nits again despite having several warnings they are on the other children so Hippy Grannie can give lots of cuddles and keep her dreads. I spray on every morning when she first gets up, comb it through so all the hair is covered & leave it to dry naturally, which is usually just before we're setting off. Added bonus is she has big curly hair so it changes the chaotic bed head to beautiful little ringlets. I sometimes have it on subscription so I get a bottle a month, it lasts just over a month. Though if you do this be aware the price does fluctuate wildly on Amazon and can catch you out. Also, if it's a one-off purchase it is subject to the dreaded 'spend £20 for free delivery but everything is priced at £xx.99' so I regularly get it off EBay too. ## Frequently Bought Together - Nitty Gritty Headlice Defence Spray 250ml - Nitty Gritty Nit Comb(Assorted Colors) - NitWits All-In-One Head Lice Treatment Spray, Kills Nits & Eggs, Includes Lice Spray 120ml & Nit Comb ,120 ml (Pack of 1) --- ## 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.hk/products/48961860-nitty-gritty-nit-repellent-spray-conditioning-head-lice-spray-250ml](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/48961860-nitty-gritty-nit-repellent-spray-conditioning-head-lice-spray-250ml) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-07-22*
