I know it's not health really but you know!

When dd has had nits (twice), I've never been able to tell if I've got them so I've always treated myself. I was around lots of kids at the weekend and my head is really itching today.. how can I check myself?

My hair is reasonably thick and I just can't seem to get the comb through it with my head upside down but can't see what's what if I do it sat down, does that make sense?

Advice please.. or do you just always treat yourself? I've checked dd yesterday and there was nothing.

try putting conditioner on your hair first then using the comb.

I put conditioner on last time then washed it off.

I've made myself itch thinking about it.
