Please help me figure out what this is on DD's hair (pics attached)

Calling on the collective wisdom of Mumsnet for help, please. Can you help me figure out what this in on my DDs hair? She is 9 and for the past two weeks has had this fIaky thing on her hair. She has thick curly and lovely hair.
I initially thought dandruff but even with dandruff shampoo and tea tree oil etc It hasn't had any effect - in some places it's so many of them its tough to comb through.

I wondered if it was just dry skin but again its stuck to the hair and wont budge - it also seems to be increasing by the day.

The fact that I am visually disabled and close to blind doesn't help and DH is being useless.

Please please help!

Quick update - we have treated her again and done a full comb out (and for us too) No lice at all so looks like egg cases from the last few treatments. About 70% of egg cases are out now - Coconut oil worked the best - there is another comb out planned for today.

poor thing she has my sympathy i HATED comb out days

They’re awful aren’t they. I had to deal with it last year when dd3 caught them at school. Although I have two older dds, 18 and 14, I’d never had to deal with lice before. I was so embarrassed when the teacher told me what I had thought was dandruff.

Over the next three weeks it was endless lotion, combing, bed sheet washing and vacuuming. Dd2 got it the worst. She has hip length hair and regretfully I had to chop her hair by quite a few inches to make it easier to comb.

Good luck!
