Is this headlice or not?!

[Tinkjon]

I saw some black insects in DDs hair but they don't look like lice are supposed to or of the pictures I've seen of them. They were really tiny, barely 2mm long (I thought lice were 3 or 4?) and were very long and thin - I think they were just those tiny black flying things that you get outside sometimes (DS had some on his face and pram the other day and they obviously weren't lice). I can't see any of these insects on her hair now. Have just combed her hair and there were some tiny little things stuck onto the shaft of the hair, about 2 mm long, but I thought that nits were white and these are browny-coloured. They weren't moving, just stuck to her hair. I looked at them under a magnifying glass and they still just looked like blobs, couldn't see anything 'insecty' about them, for want of a better word! They have what looks like a transparent bit of hair 1mm long sticking out from them.

Any idea if this is lice or not?!

How odd then. The insects were definitely very black, couldn't possibly be considered brown.

Oh well, we will keep combing and whatever it
is will go eventually, I'm sure!

[thinks] so if my head is completely clear, why has it been itching for weeks? I'd assumed it was an allergy thing, as I've been very itchy/asthma-y...
