Can Blow Drying Kill Lice?
Can Blow Drying Kill Lice?
September 30, 2017
While it’s true that head lice can’t take the heat when it comes to sweltering temperatures, the use of blow dryers is still under study.
Many home remedy websites promote the use of blow dryers to get rid of pesky critters, but the question still remains: is it effective?
Some researchers claim that it is; others say there isn’t sufficient proof. According to Springer, lice need humidity in order to breed. While it’s true that humid temperatures are ideal for head lice, these are controlled temperatures.
The heat is absorbed by the hair, making the temperature perfect for breeding.
How Lice Reproduce
Lice have a tendency of rapidly reproducing. One female louse can lay up to 4 eggs per day. The nits take up to 7 days to hatch and another 7 days to become adults. Within a month, lice victims are left dealing with several hundred critters.
Why Blow Drying Doesn’t Work
While there are perks to blow drying your hair, specifically for the purposes of…blow drying it, there’s no guarantee that it can kill head lice.
Simply put, there are more negative effects to blow drying hair than there are benefits. Here are a few of them:
Frizzy Hair
One of the problems with blow drying at the highest temperature is that it can make your hair frizzy. Not only will your hair end up looking like the clown from IT, you’ll have trouble getting rid of all the tangles and knots that will develop later.
Heat Damaged Hair
Heat not only causes our hair to become frizzy, it also damages the roots and leads to dry hair. The result is brittle hair with rough texture.
Hair Loss
Blow drying your hair also leads to hair fall. This is because the heat damages the roots of the hair and causes damage to the scalp.
So, what’s the solution? It’s simple: lice removal services.
Lice removal clinics only use natural treatments to clean your hair and remove both nits and lice! They use special combs to take care of each and every strand of hair, and offer in-home treatments for those who do not want to get treated in a clinic.

7 Things All Girls with Short Hair Can Relate To
7 Things All Girls with Short Hair Can Relate To
August 29, 2017
There’s no better time to experiment with your hair than summer.
It’s hot, it’s humid, it’s vacation time—and if you always wondered what you’d look like with short hair, now’s the time to sport that edgy bob you were always too scared to try!
Unfortunately, there’s a lot more to short hair than angled bobs and pixie cuts.
Here’s a list of 7hair-related woes that only girls with short tresses can understand:
1. Long Hair Withdrawal
Why? WHY?! What was I thinking?
This will probably be your morning ritual in the first few days after the fresh cut, when youlook into the bathroom mirror, expecting to see your lovely long locks.
2. High Maintenance
You’d think less hair would mean less problems, right?
Tell that to someone trying to style their poofy mane with a flat iron that’s too big for the tiny strands at the back.
And don’t even get us started on the bangs.
3. Worse Hair Days
When you’re having a bad hair day, you can just tie up that bad boy in aboho-chic top-knot or beachy pony tail and call it a day.
But when your hair ends at your chin, you just have to suck it up and accept #HaiReality.
4. It’s Colder
Short hair rocks when it’s summer time—but the moment winter arrives with its frosty snowstorms, you kind of miss your long bushy hair and how it kept you warm on cold nights.
5. Being Mistaken For a Boy
Since time immemorial, short hair has fallen under the domain of Man. And despite a chockfull of female celebrities sporting a bob and slaying it, for some reason, we still tend to cling to absurd notions of gendered hair.
6. “Are You Going Through Something? “
Whenever long-haired beauties undergo a dramatically short haircut, a lot of people assume they’re going through some sort of existential crisis.
Uh, no. We just wanted to look fabulous.
7. When You Catch Head Lice, It Shows
Summer may be a great time to get a trim, but it’s also hunting season for the historically clingy head lice, who are drawn to humidity.
While anyone can fall prey to a head lice infestation, those with short hair are likely to be noticed quicker.
