My daughter is in secondary school and never had nits in primary but has had them a few times at secondary. They are hard to spot until her hair is wet as she is blonde so they are hard to see.
The weird thing is they are in the ‘wrong’ places every time. Never near the root of the hair or by the ears/nape of the neck. Always quite far along the shaft and on the top layers of her hair. Nor have I ever seen a live louse (not even a dead one after treating and combing). They must be nits though as they are stuck to the shaft of her hair (come away with combing or actually more easily with my nails).
it’s weird and I am second guessing whether they are but even though I know they must be. It’s a right pain in the arse as she has very long hair. It’s very fine but she has a shedload of it - combing and treating is a nightmare. Just reordered Hedrin treatment plus the prevent spray.
Just idly wondering if anyone else has seen nits present this way?
