Leaves hair healthy & shiny.Some background information about the dreaded head louseThe head louse (Latin Pediculus humanus capitis) is a parasite inhabiting head hair, and feeding on human blood which it sucks from the scalp. It has 6 legs and is about 3mm long. It thrives at temperatures of 28 to 29C, so it likes to stay close to the scalp, and often cannot be seen at a glance.Head lice infestation has nothing to do with lack of hygiene, and anyone can get them.Lice cannot fly or jump, they are normally transferred during direct contact from head to head which is why they are frequently spread in schools and nurseries, where children work or play with their heads close together.The female head louse can lay up to 10 eggs (called nits) a day, and they glue them to the hair shaft close to the roots. The nits are less than 1mm in length, and almost opaque. The larvae come out after around 8 days and a new generation is born every three weeks.How to recognise head lice infestationThe most obvious sign is a very itchy scalp, caused by the bites where the head lice suck blood. If you suspect lice infestation, you should look closely, and inspect the hair roots close to the scalp. A fine-toothed nit comb can be very helpful if you want to clarify whether there are lice or not. The comb helps you discover nits which often might be mistaken for dandruff whitish, shimmering nits are empty shrouds from which lice have already come out, while brownish-grey nits are in their development phase.Protect your children and yourself from head lice with Vosene KidsThe first thing you can do to help prevent catching head lice is to discuss the subject openly.
