5 Braids to Cover Up your Affair With Nits

October 3, 2017

They tell you to “scratch that itch” when you really want to pursue something. However, sometimes, scratching is the last thing you should do. This is especially true when it comes to dealing with head lice.

And while we’ve all dealt with head lice at least once in our lives, we still struggle with the idea of creepy, crawly critters lurking inside our hair. There’s always this fear that somehow, somewhere, at an important event, we will get caught with a critter dangling from the strands of our hair.

But lice are good at camouflaging. It’s nits that are the problem. Not only do they look like and resemble dandruff, if caught with nits, you can land yourself in an awkward situation. So how can you hide the trail of nits in your hair? Here are a few hairstyles that can help:

Regular Braids:

Braids require dividing the hair into three parts and twisting them into knots. They’re a great way to hide the presence of nits by adding layers to your hair.

Another good thing about braids is that they seal your hair. This means that they can make it impossible to contract lice.

Bun Braids:

Buns require gathering all the hairs and tying them up into the shape of a giant ball. How do buns help? Well, for one, you have to comb back your hair and tightly tie your hair. This helps create a ‘wall’ against head lice by adding a layer of hair to your scalp. You can braid the front part of your hair or the sides to help hide the flaky appearance of nits.

Spanish Braid

Spanish braids are awesome because they’re similar to fishtail braids. The only difference is that they are braided into loops until they form a bun. This helps hide signs of nits because all the knots and twists cover up the inside of the hair, hiding the scalp as well.

Donut Bun with Braid

Donut buns with braids are slowly becoming popular, and for good reason too! They’re not only stylish, you can braid your hair and then tie your hair into a bun. The braids act like a scrunchie and go around the bun.

Ponytail Plait

In order to create this look, you have to braid your hair and then tie it up like a ponytail. This is style is becoming popular for high school students, but it’s just as effective for hiding the presence

of nits in your hair.

While it’s tempting to shave off your hair or style it in a way that nobody knows about your lice woes, that’s only a temporary solution. It’s important to find a solution that not only works but provides you with relief.
