Head-to-head contact with an already infested person is the most common way to get head lice. Head-to-head contact is common during play at school, at home, and elsewhere (sports activities, playground, slumber parties, camp). Although uncommon, head lice can be spread by sharing clothing or belongings.
Why is lice such a big deal?
Head lice are annoying, but they’re not dangerous and they don’t spread disease. They’re not a sign of poor hygiene — head lice need blood and they don’t care whether it’s from someone who’s clean or dirty. It’s best to treat head lice right away to prevent them from spreading.
What happens if you don’t treat lice?
Untreated head lice may degrade the scalp and affects it health and that of the hair. If the follicles become blocked, then hair loss may occur. It is hard to have well-conditioned hair if it is covered in head lice eggs, lice and bacteria.
Are electric lice comb effective?
Technically yes, a lice comb can be a complete lice treatment on its own, but it depends entirely on the person using it. If hair is treated with a good electric head lice comb and perfect precision, every louse and nit could be combed out and the lice effectively treated.
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 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 salons remove lice from hair permanently?
A mayo-treatment can suffocate and stun the lice, and make them slower, so they can be caught with the comb easily. You can also use hair oil to do the same, and simply comb through with a lice-comb to get rid of the pesky critters. Don’t forget to follow this as many times as necessary, though!
Why do I keep finding lice eggs but no lice?
It’s possible that the nits are leftover from a previous infestation and are no longer viable, which means they are dead and won’t hatch. It’s difficult to tell the difference, so you should still treat any nits you find, even if there are no lice.
