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
