Lice Specialists FAQ in Arlington, VA

Should I go to work if I have lice?

If you have live lice in your hair, then that’s easy to transmit to others. If you don’t and you just have the nits or the eggs, it’s okay to be around others. So it’s not going to pass on. You can go back to school, you can go back to work.

Does shaving get rid of lice?

Shaving Will Not Get Rid of Lice. The reason shaving will not work is because lice live on the base of the hair, and on the scalp. The nits are laid right at the base of the hair oftentimes against the scalp. Shaving will not get close enough to make an impact on the lice and nits.

Can lice infest a mattress?

Can lice survive hair dye?

Hair dye may kill lice as it contains chemicals such as ammonia and hydrogen peroxide, which lice may be sensitive to. However, it is not likely that hair dye can kill nits, which will return as lice once hatched.

Is head lice caused by poor hygiene?

Can hairdressers help with lice?
