I am not sure if it is headlice or dandruff?? I am praying it's dandruff as that isn't as bad as the dreaded nits. There is white flake kind of things in my girls hair?

Nit eggs hang on for dear life, the little white bits. They won’t come easily!
Get your dc to lean over a piece of A4 paper and comb their hair towards it, any live nits will probably drop.
As for treatment I’d steer clear of herbal, gentle remedies.
Go to the chemist and get some fuck off chemical shampoo, none of this ‘oh I just use lots of conditioner ‘
Kill the bastards!
If in doubt.......treat!
