Hey, it's Theresa with My Lice Advice, and today we're talking about head lice signs and symptoms. Do you have head lice? Let's find out.
This video tutorial is all about head lice and figuring out whether or not you have it.
Sign#1-Finding bugs in your hair.
There aren't many bugs that live on humans, but as far as bugs in human hair, it's really just head lice. So if you're finding multiple bugs in the hair, then yeah, it's lice. When they first hatch, they're just teeny tiny, almost invisible because they're so small. As they get to be adults they are about the size of a sesame seed. They are very small, and they move very quickly. But additionally, they blend in really well with the hair.
Sign #2- Lice eggs. You'll often hear lice eggs also referred to as nits. I use those two words interchangeably lice eggs and nits. These are little eggs that are laid in the hair that are glued on the hair strand. The telltale sign of something being a lice egg is that it's glued onto the hair strand, and you have actually to pull it out by squeezing it between two fingers and pinning it all the way down the hair strand.
So if you're finding little things like this that are glued into the hair, then yes, that is also a sign of head lice. Lice eggs can be white, but that is after they've already hatched. So you're more likely to find these darker lice eggs.
If you want to know whether or not you have lice or not, you want to do a thorough check of the hair for these lice eggs. I show you exactly how to do that in a video tutorial of mine called "How to Check for Lice." And you can find that on my website. MyLiceAdvice.com. And I'll also put a link here in the description: myliceadvice.c...
Sign #3- Itching or not itching
Only about 50% of people with head lice itch, and that itching is actually caused by an allergic reaction to lice bites and lice saliva. So if you're not allergic to lice bites and lice saliva, then you won't itch.
Sign #4- A rash, also known as lice bites. So like I explained, some people are allergic to lice bites and lice saliva, which causes them to have a rash. Most commonly, you'll see this rash on the neck. The other most common place to find rashes is behind the ears. And the last place that you might find a rash is actually on the scalp itself. Many people will call these lice bites, but that's not actually what you're seeing. What you're seeing is your body's reaction to the lice saliva.
Symptom #5- Itching at night.
Lice are more nocturnal, so it's common for them to be more active at night. So if you're seeing your child sleeping and itching their head, that's a pretty big sign of head lice.
Symptom#6- Restless at night and sleepy during the day. Again, this is related to lice being more active at night. So if someone's been scratching all night long, they usually don't get a good night's sleep. So one of the common symptoms for children is for them to be tired during the day because they've been restless all night, itching their head.
Sign #7- Feeling something moving or crawling in the hair. This is pretty uncommon, but some people just have really sensitive scalps that can pick lice bugs out of their hair because they can feel them on the head.
Sign #8- Increased dandruff Different people's bodies respond differently to lice and lice saliva. As I said, some people have a lot of itching. They develop rashes and other people just get a lot of dandruff. So an increase in dandruff can be a sign of head lice. But, I find lots of people just have dandruff, and they think that they have lice. So before assuming that this increase in dandruff equals head lice, I would recommend checking out another tutorial of mine "Lice vs. Dandruff." You can find that on my website MyLiceAdvice.com. But I'll also put a link in the description: myliceadvice.c...
My Advice: My number one piece of advice is if you think you may have head lice is to check for those little lice eggs in the hair. And if you do have lice and you'd like some help, then head over to MyLiceAdvice.com. There's loads of free resources there, including a free house cleaning checklist specific to head lice.

If you do the container method how long do you usually need to do it for?

[@Ermh1]

Almost every night, I have a very itchy head. But my dad checked an saw nothing but we are going to do a more thorough check

[@myliceadvice4403]

Sorry for the late reply. Is it possible that it's dandruff? Try switching shampoos.

[@Ermh1]

@@myliceadvice4403 oh yes I had lice, I got it from a friend but it is gone now!

[@erinmason8296]

[@kinghaileyadatway4204]

If you been doing a baby oil treatment for 5days and your head stops itching does it mean they are gone ?

[@myliceadvice4403]

Hi there! Itching coming or going isn't your best indicator of whether or not lice are gone for good. With lice, you have two problems: #1 is the LICE BUGS, but #2 is the LICE EGGS/NITS. The itching is caused by the lice BUGS feeding on the scalp. Typically the itching will calm down within a few days once you've killed all the lice BUGS. However, even after the bugs are all killed, you'll need to take care of the LICE EGGS; otherwise, they'll hatch and re-infest your hair. So, in that case, if you leave the lice EGGS/NITS, then you're head will just start itching again in another week or two once those lice eggs have all hatched. If you want to eliminate all of the lice BUGS and lice EGGS in one treatment, check out my step-by-step video system.
