Abstract
A self-contained lice comb assembly including a handle member defining a housing having an interior cavity for holding and storing tools which aid in the removal of nits and lice and/or the cleaning of the lice comb head is provided. The handle housing may preferably support an extracting tool for removing lice and nits from the hair, such as tweezers, and a cleaning tool for removing lice and nits from between the teeth of the lice comb head, such as a brush. The brush and tweezers are removable from within the handle member during use, and are designed to fit within the handle member for storage. The lice comb assembly may also preferably include interchangeable comb heads having different length teeth for treating various lengths and textures of hair. A magnifier for magnifying hair as it passes through the comb teeth, which allows any nits or lice remaining on the hair to be easily viewed by a user may also be provided.
