Answers:
its probably just dandruff but just in case, you should get a nurse or an adult to check your head.Health Question & Answer

Many head lice infections cause no symptoms, and probably less than half cause itch. So you have to LOOK to find out if you have head lice. also Eggs are not difficult to see; use a strong light and look on the hair shafts. Newly laid eggs are usually within 1.5 cm of the scalp while older eggs are higher up the hair shafts. If you are not sure whether an object you find is a head louse egg, try sliding it up the hair shaft using your fingers. Eggs are usually quite difficult to move, whereas hair muffs and other items slide easily.Health Question & Answer

it could be dandruff and it could also be lice
To be on the safe side get some hair conditoner and add some drops of lavender oil to it and plaster your hair with it and leave on for a period of time say up to an hour
Get a nit comb and comb it thru your hair - if you get little nits eggs come out of your hair you will know that it was nits
If not then the conditoning treatment will do no harm and the lavender will help with the dandruff
After you have combed it wash your hair thoroughly - repeat treatment if you find any nits
Don't forget to wash your towels, bedlinen and any other things such as combs, hats etc that come into contact with your hair
Wash them thoroughly in as hot a water as you can and dry in sunlight to kill the eggs
Much nicer a treatment than the kerosine suggested - it was effective but not good for your health especially if you are chemically intolerant and not good if it gets in eyes accidentally

Lice move around a lot, but the nits (the eggs) do attach to the hair shaft. you very well may have lice. You need to use a lice shampoo. You need to wash your bedding, and basically delouse everywhere you have been with your head. Chances are your sister has them, too. You need to get some help handling this.Health Question & Answer

That depends - where in your hair are they.? Are they on top of your head.? Or down on the nape of your neck (where your hair starts at the top of your neck). If it's on top of your head, it's likely not lice. If it's down near the nape, it could be. Lice is incredibly itchy, and if not taken care of right away can become a huge problem. I suggest having an adult look. If you're in school, ask your school nurse.Health Question & Answer

It's probably dandruff (lice isn't white)-almost everybody gets it. Use a dandruff shampoo like Head and Shoulders for a while to get rid of it. You may want to use a hydrating balm with it, because it kinda dries out your hair. Health Question & Answer

i highly doubt it..I used to have a lot of dandruffs but if you wash well and dry your hair well it usually doesn't stay. When I had dandruffs, I did itch a little but not a lot. But ask an adult just in case..you don't wanna have lice..Health Question & Answer

they may or may not be , it could just be dandruff . I think if you squeeze them or smash them on a flat surface and they pop it is lice. Health Question & Answer

If they are attached these could be eggs of lice. To be safe get some shampoo from the pharmacy for this. You will have to wash all bedclothes etc. also.Health Question & Answer
