Common Lice Problems We Don’t Talk About

While there are some things that are better left unsaid, this isn’t true about head lice. The more we look into the matter, the more we can help educate those around us. For example, did you know that lice don’t have a preference when it comes to clean or dirty hair? When you think about it, it makes sense. Lice don’t consume nutrients from your hair, they snack off your scalp!

But for some reason, there is always a misconception that someone with lice doesn’t take care of themselves. Truth be told, we’ve all struggled with lice infestation at some point in our lives. And with that, we know the problems that come with an infestation.

Not only do these pesky critters get us into awkward, embarrassing situations, there are some problems faced by lice victims that make an infestation hard to deal with. Here are a few problems we’re sure you can relate to:

Styling Your Hair

There’s always the fear of styling your hair. Not only can you not keep up with colleagues who experiment with their hairstyle, you’re always looking out for a pesky, sesame seed-sized critter lurking in the corner of your hair.

There are limited types of hairstyles you can try. You have to either cover your hair or tie it in a messy bun/braid/ponytail.

Constant Itching

Whether you’re in public or at home, you always have the urge to scratch your head. You can’t stop scratching it and every time you do, you either end up with a bruise on your scalp or tangled, messy hair.

It also doesn’t help that your head itches when you’ve just brushed and styled your hair for a party.

Phantom Lice

Phantom lice are another problem. Not only are you used to scratching, even when you’re not itching, there’s a tingling feeling in your scalp. You always feel like something is moving around in your hair and you can’t help but feel paranoid that a pesky louse will show up on your forehead, asking for some of that crème brulee at a dinner party!

Ineffective Treatments

By now you’ve tried almost everything. From essential oils to lice shampoos, and even tea tree oil, there isn’t much left on the list of things to try.

You’ve done the walk of shame to the pharmacy counter at a department store, you’ve used a lice comb you bought online, only for its teeth to break into pieces before it even went inside your hair.

While that didn’t work, there’s one treatment you haven’t tried. That is, a lice removal service!
