Let’s Talk About Head Lice (It’s More Common Than You Think!)

Head lice happen, and you’re definitely not alone. These tiny bugs love to make themselves at home on the scalp, but the good news is they’re completely treatable and don’t spread disease.

Lice are usually passed through head-to-head contact, like kids playing together, taking selfies, or sharing pillows. You might notice an itchy scalp or little white nits stuck to the hair near the roots. While it can feel overwhelming, having lice doesn’t mean you’re dirty or did anything wrong. It just means you came into close contact with someone who had them.

The key to getting rid of lice is a thorough approach: using a safe treatment, carefully combing out the eggs, and washing bedding and personal items. It takes a little patience, but with the right help, you can clear them out quickly and get back to feeling comfortable.
