Are these headlice?

[DesignedForLife]

Just that really, everything I've found online says headlice get no bigger than 3mm or the size of a sesame seed. These are much bigger, the size of a grain of rice. Anatomically they look like lice, just so big!

Grasped - greased

Run the straighteners through your hair on high. Burn the little shits to death.

Then a nitty gritty comb to keep at bay as the next generations hatch.

DH suggested straighteners to burn them. Good idea.

Squishing those little nuggets between your nails and hearing them crack... very satisfying.

Good luck!

Hedrin.

It doesn't poison them - it suffocates them. So it does work.

It's the only thing I've managed to tackle them with when I have them - I just can't seem to get them with the comb on myself.

Nitty little bastards.

Feel your pain. My DD’s had nits last month. I washed their hair with tea tree shampoo and conditioner then put a second coat of the conditioner on and left it in to rake through it with the nit comb. Wipe the comb after every comb with kitchen/toilet roll. Then I doused their hair in nit killing spray stuff and blasted it with the hair dryer. Did it every day for 5 days, realised I was getting no closer to bought hedrin and they were gone straight away. Never returned.

That's a lice!

Nitty gritty with conditioner on dry hair.

They're just nits. No worry really.

Straighteners work a treat on headline!

Yes, Hedrin does work too!

Hedrin 100% and a nutty gritty comb!

Nitty gritty **

You need to treat the hair with lotion on the 1st 3rd and 7th day to break the lifecycle of the lice

I stick to Hedrin, I react very badly to them to they need to be gone pronto!

Loads of conditioner. Leave in for ages and then comb through . Repeat every day or two.

I had them as a child, roll on many years.... caught them from DC, then years later from DGC. Some things never change!

Wet your hair and apply conditioner or don't wet it but apply loads of conditioner until your hair feels wet. And more of them will come out. Good luck!

When you're taking your comb through it* missed the big step there lol

Comb through continuously and yes to the straighteners!

Also really make sure you brush your child's hair thoroughly in the morning and especially after school.

School nurse used to say" If you break their legs they don't lay eggs"

Obviously do all the nitty gritty stuff as well, but damaging the odd little sucker helps to keep them at bay if one has hitched a lift home.

I tried Hedrin and the electric zapper. The Hedrin caused quite a bit irritation and the zapper didn't seem to work.

I found my nitty gritty comb with plenty of conditioner worked the best and we just do a weekly comb through to check.

yep no doubt thats a mama...it took me three months to clear my DD hair of these nasties. She has super thick hair and every time I thought we won the battle nope there they were.

Yes that’s lice

Hedrin fan here too - and also we use the vosene nit shampoo and conditioner every week on the whole family!
