Treatment For Lice FAQ in Midland, TX

Do nits wash out with shampoo?

The shampoo, cream rinse, or spray kills the live lice on the head but may not kill the nits. While the nits don’t need to be removed from the hair, some people use a comb to remove nits after using lice treatment because they don’t like the look of nits in the hair.

What hair types are prone to lice?

There is no specific hair type that lice prefer. All lice need is a clean strand of hair to attach to. It doesn’t matter the thickness, the length, if it’s been colored, if it’s straight, or if it’s curly. It has been found that people with longer hair tend to report getting lice.

Do you need to change bedding if you have nits?

It’s essential to wash all bedding after a head lice treatment. The heat from a hot water cycle will ensure that no surviving lice can find a host again. Keep in mind that anything on the bed could be infected if the louse crawled around.

Can bald people get lice?
