Nits

I have gone through ds's hair with a bit comb and just cannot tell if he has nits or dandruff? He uses a dandruff shampoo. In the sunlight it looks like tiny oval yellowish things in his hair . Should I just do a headline treatment?

Did you use conditioner with the nit comb? Did you not find any small grey/ brown critters with tiny legs? Can you pick the oval things out? Are they on the hair strand?

No nits on the comb, just the tiny oval things. I will have another good look after school

try to squash the oval things between your fingernails. Dandruff of course does not make any sounds, but nits crack.
