Head lice are small insects. When dealing with head lice infestation, one of the main symptoms is a itchy scalp. The feeling of having bugs crawling around your hair or the constant head scratching are also frequent signs.
If you or your child acquire head lice, the first thing you will want to know is how to get rid of head lice. Getting rid of the lice is not easy, but the chore must be undertaken as quickly as possible before the pests get out of hand. You will need to locate the lice eggs, normally found close to the scalp. The eggs have the appearance of dandruff, but do not easily brush away.
It is important to wash every bed sheet and clothing along with elastics and hair care products. No one would like their head to be affected with lice. Anything that cannot be washed should be kept in a plastic bag separately for a week. Though lice is difficult to be removed, they do not survive for a long time if they do not feed on a host.
A lice comb is used to separate your child's hair into small stands that can easily be searched for lice. You then pick the lice out systematically. Make sure that as you search through the hair you can see the scalp and that you have picked all the lice out. If you leave just one, the infestation will be back in a few days.

You will also need to buy a special shampoo, available at most drug stores, that will kill any lice eggs. This shampoo is easy to use and will help to cure your lice problem. However, the shampoo alone does not work in completely ridding you of lice. You still will have to carefully comb out the lice, as well as shampooing your hair.
