This year there have been many accounts
of head lice. Head lice is easy to prevent. There are many different ways to
prevent yourself and others of getting head lice.
Ways to prevent head lice is easy,
first is don't share hairbrushes or hats. Girls, it may seem like a nice
gesture to give your friend your hairbrush but it is one of the most common way
to spread head lice. Even if you don't have they may not have it and could
spread. Also giving away hair ties, now once again, it’s a simple nice gesture
but don't give someone a used hair tie, or if you give someone a hair tie make
sure you don't get it back. Hugging is also a way of getting head lice. When
people go to hug one another (especially little kids) you put your heads
together and head lice can jump and fly. In general, just avoid sharing any
clothing item and hair products. Now just those won't always help there are
some products that you can use to prevent the dreaded head lice. Some of these
products include Lice Shield, Ladibugs (They usually sell them in kits of 3
steps), and Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Shampoo and Conditioner, Tea Tree Oils
really help protect your head from head lice, just buy some tea tree oil and
put it into your shampoo and conditioners, also put hairspray and gel in your
hair too.
So you are taking these precautions
but yet you wonder "what are the signs of head lice?" Well, some of
the signs of head lice are constant itching on the head, a feeling that there
is something in your hair that is moving around. You may begin to get red bumps
on your skin. Also not irritability and trouble sleeping at night.
So you took all of these precautions
and yet you still end up with head lice. There are many ways to take care of
it. First you should go to the doctor. Usually they will prescribe you with
lotions or special shampoos that will help get rid of the lice. Afterward you
should comb out the nits (newly hatched lice). It will take about 7-10 days to
get rid of any newly hatched nits.
So there you go. Always be careful
when sharing hair items and don't be afraid to take the extra mile when
preventing head lice in your school and in your house.
