• How do children catch head lice?

• Can children catch head lice from bedding, clothing or brushes

  There is a very small risk of children catching lice from everyday household objects. Because of the way lice are made, they have to attach to hair and generally cannot survive longer than 24 to 48 hours away from the host i.e. your child's head!

• Do head lice prefer clean or dirty hair?

  Whether you have a toddler with squeaky-clean hair or a teenager with a matted mane that hasn’t seen a bottle of shampoo or brush for months, there is no evidence to suggest that lice prefer dirty or clean hair. Put simply, lice aren’t fussy.

• How can you help prevent head lice?

  Each time you wash your child's hair, check the hair at the front of the head, behind the ears and at the nap of the neck, this is where the eggs are most like to hide and stick to the hair shaft.
