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 dead lice eggs eventually fall out?

Nits may remain after lice have gone. They are empty eggshells and stick strongly to hair. They will eventually fall out. If you prefer, a fine-toothed ‘nit comb’ can remove them.

Where do lice come from before humans?

Although there is a very slight possibility that you could get lice from an inanimate object, such as a brush or a pillow case, almost all cases of head lice occur through direct head to head contact with someone who is infested.

What do nits look like on paper towel?

Is it possible to only have 1 lice?

Children can have a few nits without actually having a case of head lice. Usually children have no more than 10 to 20 live lice. Good lighting is important when you are checking. Head lice move fast and are hard to see.
