Head lice spread primarily through direct head-to-head contact, which is common when children play, read or spend time close together. Lice do not jump or fly, and having lice is not a sign of poor hygiene.
Finding an infestation early helps families start appropriate treatment, check close contacts and limit further spread. Itching is common but not everyone itches right away, so a careful scalp and hair check can be useful even without symptoms.
Common signs include an itchy scalp, a tickling sensation in the hair, visible crawling lice, or small eggs (nits) attached firmly to individual hair shafts near the scalp. Scratching may also irritate the skin.
Dandruff and other debris can resemble nits. A thorough check with good lighting and a fine-toothed lice comb can help distinguish them. If the scalp looks infected or symptoms persist, seek medical advice.
Every child's hair is different. Our approach emphasizes attention to detail and a calm experience rather than rushing through the appointment.
Children may feel embarrassed, restless or worried about a lice check. We aim to make each visit straightforward and reassuring, with gentle communication and time to explain what is happening.
Parents can ask questions, understand the process and leave with a clearer plan. With more than 20 years of experience, Ms. Tzippy brings a steady, thoughtful approach to working with children and their families.
Follow-up is important because eggs can hatch after an initial removal or treatment. Depending on the method used, repeat combing, rechecks or an approved lice treatment may be needed. Follow product directions and professional guidance carefully.
Check household members and close contacts, and avoid sharing combs, brushes or hair accessories during an active infestation. Extensive house spraying is unnecessary and should be avoided.
Dealing with lice should not mean panic, blame or unnecessary disruption. We help parents understand the difference between live lice and nits, what steps are worth taking at home and when to check again.
Our goal is simple: give children a comfortable experience and give parents useful, realistic information for managing head lice confidently.
Yes. Head lice can affect anyone, regardless of how often they wash their hair. An infestation is not a reflection of cleanliness.
No. Head lice crawl; they cannot jump or fly. They spread mainly through direct hair-to-hair contact.
It is sensible to check household members and people who have had close head-to-head contact. Treatment is generally directed at those with an active infestation, following appropriate guidance.
No. Nits are lice eggs or empty egg casings attached to hair shafts. Finding a nit does not always mean there is an active infestation; a careful check for live lice helps determine the next step.
Results depend on the infestation and the approach used. Follow-up checks or repeat treatment may be needed because newly hatched lice can appear after the initial visit.
