nits tend to remain attached when you move or shake the hair.
If you suspect head lice, good lighting and a fine-toothed lice comb can help you inspect the hair carefully. Separate the hair into small sections and examine the area close to the scalp, especially behind the ears and around the back of the neck.
Treatment usually involves a product specifically designed for head lice. Follow the instructions on the product carefully, because some treatments require a second application after several days to eliminate newly hatched lice. Wet-combing with a fine-toothed comb can also help remove lice and nits.
It’s important not to blame or shame someone who has head lice. Having lice does not mean a person is dirty or has poor hygiene. Lice spread primarily through close head-to-head contact and can affect people with clean or dirty hair.
Avoid sharing combs, brushes, hats, scarves, headphones, or other
