HEAD LICE EDUCATION
I am well into my second week of the Nice Lice Lady blog and
I hope the New Year is treating you well.
I thought I would write on the importance of head lice education this
week. After all it is what most of my
clients crave and what seems to be lacking around the topic of head lice. You can Google head lice and get a plethora of
information. Some helpful and some just
plain wacky. What I find are a lot of inconsistencies
when it comes to head lice education.
This causes a great deal of confusion and stress.
Knowing the Facts of Lice is half the battle so here is my best lice
advice and what I feel is a good start on your head lice education
journey.
LICE FACTS
• Female head lice lay lice eggs.
• One female louse lays 3 to 5 eggs
per day on the hair shaft.
• To succeed at eliminating a head
lice infestation, one must remove all lice eggs and lice from the hair.
• The lice eggs are tear-shaped,
usually brown in colour, and are attached to only one side of the hair shaft.
Lice egg look-alikes, are white, they surround the hair shaft and are often
misdiagnosed as lice eggs. Nits are
empty or dead lice eggs. They are
see-through and will stick to the hair shaft on one side.
• Most mothers waste both time and
energy doing countless washing of bed sheets and clothes. Lice are not living
in your environment. They are living on
your head. See our 3 easy steps to
cleaning your environment in the Free Head Lice Help Kit on our home page.
• Pesticide sprays & treatments
should be used with caution or in our opinion, not at all.
• Don’t rely on products that claim
to kill nits. Lice eggs must be removed
by hand.

Service, and a free head lice help kit including the facts of lice and easy
