DD is 14. She has long hair almost down to her waist, currently dyed 4 different colours. She also has nits for the first time since Y4. I know this because I now have them too.
She won't let me check her hair because it's "weird and creepy" but I made her (threat of phone removal) use the comb to check to see how long it took to find one. She found two baby wrigglers in the very first comb!
So now she's gone out shopping with her friends, having refused any treatment because the mousse makes her hair smell funny and the hedrin makes it look greasy. No doubt she will infect them all so now even if I treat her she will just get them back again.
I know she's embarrassed and doesn't want to admit she's got them. And I know hair is important when you're 14. Has anyone dealt with this? Any tips on either a treatment that is "teen hair" friendly or on how to wrangle a reluctant teen?
And WIBU to ring all her friends' mums to warn them if she refuses to deal with it by Monday? (this is a joke I think!)

Fucking Nits! I thought it was bad enough when she was 6!
