The Truth About Lice Eggs<\/p>\n

The truth about lice eggs may come as a shock to most parents out there,
\nbecause although the eggs can be a nuisance to get rid of, they are completely
\nharmless while in the incubation stage. You cannot catch a lice egg from
\nsomeone, but you can catch a bug once they hatch and then the cycle continues.
\nLice eggs are hard to see, but this blog will help you understand how to deal
\nwith the eggs head on, things that work and the truth about lice eggs altogether.<\/p>\n

Lice Egg Incubation and Hatching Period<\/h4>\n

A female louse will lay its eggs about a half an inch from the scalp where it is warm and
\nhumid for the eggs to properly incubate for 7-10 days. If the eggs are removed or
\nextracted, they will die very shortly after. Eggs will only hatch one time with only
\none nymph emerging from that single egg.
\nThe glue that secures the egg may remain in your hair for several months if they
\nare not extracted. Removing eggs can seem like the most tedious task because
\nalthough most eggs are visible, there are some which are microscopic and not
\nfully developed.<\/p>\n

How To Spot Lice Eggs<\/h4>\n

Lice eggs (often referred to as nits) look like tiny tan or brown teardrop shaped
\ndots before they hatch. They often get confused for dandruff or hair product
\neminence, but the eggs are only launched to one side of the hair strand. To the
\ntouch they will have a grain of sand like feeling and will not slide off easily if your
\ntry to remove them with our fingers.<\/p>\n

The easiest way to tell if you have a head lice infestation is to follow these steps:
\n1.) Wet your hair with a spray bottle
\n2.) Fully detangle by adding a bit of conditioner and brushing
\n3.) Gather a few sheets of paper towels to have on hand
\n4.) Glide your lice comb along the scalp starting at your hair line from one ear, and
\ncomb all the way to the back of the head not missing the baby hairs.
\n5.) Wipe it onto the paper towel where you will clearly be able to see the brown or
\ntan teardrop shaped eggs and bugs through the conditioner.
\n6.) Repeat these steps by overlapping your last row by half until you make your
\nway to the other side of your head ( your other ear) wiping each row on your paper
\ntowel until you find proof you are infested.<\/p>\n
