I’m a 46-year-old entrepreneur and single mum from Hemel Hempstead. Most of my career was spent in direct sales, managing different sites and working my way up the corporate chain.  Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d end up developing head lice products. I freaked out the first time I ever saw lice in my 9-year-old daughter’s hair. Because she suffered from eczema on her scalp when she was younger, the process of treating it was really painful and stressful.
