What happens if I find nits but no lice in my hair?

Best Answers

The only way to know that there are nits with no lice present at the time is by actually treating the head! Then, during your comb-out, you would find dead bugs or discover only the eggs. You can do a thorough combing head check on wet hair and still not find any lice because they will run from you. read more

Where there are nits, there are lice, they eggs were laid in your hair by a louse! I have not heard of "nice lice" and can't speak to it's efficacy, but very, very (if any) over the counter stuff actually kills eggs. They all CLAIM to, but it has been disproven in scientific labs. read more

Nits are the eggs that lice lay. It is possible to have nits and not see any lice. If this is the case, it is imperative that you act quickly to remove all the nits and to prevent further infestation. Although this task may often be difficult and tedious, it is the only way to guarantee a cessation to nits and lice. read more
