A nit takes 7-10 days to hatch after being laid and another 7-10 to mature to a mating age. If nits are left in the hair and remain viable it can take a very long time to end an infestation. When treated properly, it is possible to end an infestation very quickly, even within 1day, but that requires proper treatment. The FDA-cleared LouseBuster medical device kills over 99% of nits in a 30-35 minute treatment. The use of this treatment combined with a thorough comb out with a high quality stainless steel nit comb, is very effective and very quick.
