How To Tell if the Lice are Really Gone?

How To Tell if the Lice are Really Gone?

/in /by

Lice are little pesky creatures, and even though they can’t fly or jump, they are determined to stay around. Knowing the signs of lice and what lice look like is crucial knowledge to knowing how to properly get rid of lice. 

How To Check For Lice

At Fresh Heads, we do offer lice checks, but if you do not have the time, here’s some steps to help you know the proper way to check for lice yourself:

1. Make sure to wash your hands or put on gloves before you start. 

2. Next, create a part in the hair with your fingers or the help of a comb, so that you can clearly see the person’s scalp. 

3. While making parts in the hair, it is time to see if there are any little lice running around. Lice are around the size of a poppy seed and are usually brown, black, or a darker color. A flashlight will probably help your chances of finding them. 

4. The next step is to look for the nits. The nits are the lice eggs. They are very small little white clusters that are on the hair strands very close to the scalp. There may also be some near the nape of the neck or behind the ears. At times these are easier to find because they are stationary. 

5. To get rid of the lice and the lice eggs, the best method is to seek professional assistance at Fresh Heads. At Fresh Heads, we have the proper and most effective equipment to make you lice and lice egg free. A one time treatment is all you need and then you’re back to your daily life. 

Treatment

After checking for any signs of lice, and expectedly finding some, the question pops up “what should I do now?” The first thought you have might be to go to a local pharmacy and pick up some over-the-counter products. Unfortunately, lice have genetically adapted to the chemicals that are in those products. They were not very effective in the first place, but now they aren’t effective at all. The best thing to do is to get professional help. The best lice treatment out there is with Fresh Heads and our AirAlle device. This treatment uses heated air that kills both lice and nits without having to use toxic chemicals.

Do I Have Lice or Am I Just Paranoid?

Do I Have Lice or Am I Just Paranoid?

/in /by

Head lice are fairly common, but so are anxiety and paranoia. The brain is very complicated. Even just talking or writing about lice might make your head itchier than it has been all day. There are many signs of lice, and random itches are just one of them. One of the most common mistakes is wondering if you have lice or dandruff. Dandruff with a combination of paranoia could result in a very stressful situation where you think you might have lice. This is why you should know what lice look like and how to search for them properly. 

Signs of Lice

Some symptoms of lice are a tingling feeling on your scalp, intense itching, and possible bite marks near your neck, ears, or scalp. If you notice any of the symptoms you should check yourself for lice. To fully understand, you need to know what lice look like. Lice are oval-shaped, about the size of a poppy seed, and usually the same color as your hair. Now that you know what you are looking for, it is time to check your head for lice. The first thing you want to do is make a part in your hair with your fingers or a comb and hopefully, you notice some lice crawling around. If you don’t notice anything then the next thing you want to do is look for nits on the strands of your hair near your scalp. These tips should make it easier for you to tell if you have lice or not. 

Why You Might Be Itching Your Head

Besides lice, there are many reasons why you may be itching your head. One reason you might be itching is due to a scab, another reason is there might be dirt on your head from an outside activity that is irritating your scalp, and lastly one could simply be dandruff. Lice vs. dandruff is easily one of the most common mistakes due to the little flakes you see in your hair. The dandruff flakes can simply be mistaken for a nit. A somewhat different reason than the others could be paranoia. If your friend talks to you about having lice you might subconsciously scratch your head some more. These reasons are why it’s important to check your scalp regularly so you know whether you have lice or not.

Common Signs Your Child Has Lice

Common Signs Your Child Has Lice

/in /by

What are lice? Lice are parasitic insects that are about the size of a sesame seed. They can only be spread through head-to-head contact and children are more likely to get lice than adults. Even if your child has good hygiene, there is still the possibility of a lice infestation as hygiene is not an indicator of whether or not you can catch lice. If you are worried your child has lice, what signs should you look for?

Signs of Lice

When looking for signs of lice, the most common sign is itching. If you notice your child is itching their scalp more than usual, that is a big indicator of lice. 

Other symptoms include:

  • A tickling feeling of something moving on your head 
  • Sores that developed from scratching
  • Irritability
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Red bumps on your head, neck, or shoulders

What to Do if You Believe Your Child Has Lice

If you believe your child has lice, you can do a head check to be sure. To check the scalp, you should look for small, brown insects moving around on the head. You should also look for lice eggs or nits stuck to the hair. Lice eggs or nits look like a small, oval blob on a strand of hair. If nits are yellow, tan, or brown, it means the lice haven’t hatched yet. If the nits are white or clear, the lice have hatched, and just the egg remains. 

The most common places to find lice and lice eggs in hair are around the ears and near the neckline at the back of the head. It is important to note that if you believe your child has lice, you should make an appointment at a lice clinic immediately. Leaving lice untreated could cause sores to form on the head. These sores can lead to infection, resulting in your child getting sick. Although getting sick from lice is the worst-case scenario, it is better to address the problem sooner rather than later.

Could You Have Lice and Not Know it?

Could You Have Lice and Not Know it?

It may come as a surprise, but it is possible to have head lice in your hair without your knowledge. Itching is one of the main signs of lice that people are looking for if they’re suspicious. What most people don’t know is that the itching caused by these tiny parasites can take weeks to start, and in some cases, may never start at all. Most experts encourage parents to check their kids for head lice regularly, particularly during the school year. If you think that you or a family member could have lice, but you don’t know for sure, here are a few tips that could help you determine what you are dealing with.

What to Look For When Checking for Lice 

The first step in checking for head lice is knowing what to look for. Head lice are only a few millimeters across, and it can be easy to mistake them for dry skin or dandruff. When you check for head lice, remember to look for both the lice and the lice eggs in hair, called nits. The nits are laid at the base of the hair, and usually appear yellow or white. Adult lice are tiny brown parasites that are about the size of a sesame seed. If you have been noticing more dandruff than normal, you make want to take a closer look to make sure this is not actually lice eggs.

Where to Check for Head Lice

The best place to look for signs of head lice is around the nape of the neck and the ears, so check these spots thoroughly. Lice like to live in warm spots on the scalp that are not overly exposed to sunlight. They cling onto the shaft of the hair and lay their eggs close to the roots of the hair.

How to Check for Lice

The most common tool used to look for signs of lice is a fine-tooth comb. One study found that using a fine-tooth comb is 4 times more effective at detecting lice than visual inspection alone. The most effective method of combing for lice starts with separating the hair into several sections. 

Get the hair wet and add some conditioner or detangler to help the comb glide through the strands, then begin combing through the first section. If you are having trouble seeing, or the hair is dark, a flashlight can provide the necessary lighting. Remember to start at the roots and comb all the way to the ends of the hairs, keeping each section isolated. Once one section is combed, just move to the next section until the whole head has been searched.
