Lice Specialists FAQ in Bridgeport, CT

Can you grab lice with your fingers?

Eggs and nits also stick to the hair shaft, so they don’t come off easily. If you try to pull one out of the hair with your fingers, it won’t budge—it will move only if you use your nails to get behind it and force it off.

Do you have to throw away pillows if you have lice?

Myth About Head Lice Many parents arrive at our treatment center ready to throw out all their sheets, blankets, mattress, couch, and any piece of furniture that their child has touched in the last 24 hours. Lice Lifters is happy to tell you that none of that is necessary.

How do you wear your hair when you have lice?

The common braid, a French braid, a fish tail braid, or a crown braid are all excellent hair styles to keep your hair up and out of the way of others. Any braid type that keeps your hair pulled back and contained is perfect for helping to prevent your contact with head lice.

How do you get rid of lice super fast?

Suffocate the Lice Soak your child’s head in olive oil or coconut oil. Cover with a shower cap for at least 2 hours (or preferably overnight). When ready, remove the shower cap, and separate the hair into small sections, then use a metal nit comb to carefully remove the lice and eggs. Rinse the hair well with shampoo.

How many days does it take to get rid of head lice?

How long does head lice last? With effective treatment, head lice will completely go away after two to three weeks. The duration is dependent on how many lice made a home in your hair. Make sure you follow the instructions on your medicated shampoo, lotion or cream to get rid of lice quickly.

Why won’t my nits go away?

Because the active ingredients have remained the same all these years, new generations of head lice have become immune to them. Once lice become immune, the product no longer works. Scientists call this resistance.

Is it better to comb lice out of wet or dry hair?

Make sure hair stays wet with conditioner during combing. Metal or plastic nit combs are available at your local pharmacy. If the comb tugs the hair, use a wide toothed comb first and more conditioner, then try the nit comb again.

Is head lice caused by poor hygiene?

Head lice most often affect children. The insects usually spread through direct transfer from the hair of one person to the hair of another. Having head lice isn’t a sign of poor personal hygiene or an unclean living environment. Head lice don’t carry bacterial or viral diseases.

Can bleach get rid of lice?

Hair dye and bleach haven’t been scientifically proven to kill lice. However, anecdotal evidence indicates that they may be effective. They’re not, however, able to kill lice eggs, known as nits. Other lice removal treatments will most likely be more effective.

What can I spray on furniture for lice?
