your head itches
The first sign to look for is an itchy scalp. The second sign is if you see something that looks like dandruff & it doesn't come off easily, it could be lice or a lice egg that hasn't hatched yet. But sometimes you can have lice & you don't have any symptoms. Lice is sometimes mistaken for dandruff. Lice eggs are light or dark, depending on how light or dark your hair is. The only way to know for sure that you have lice, is to check.
You may notice intense itching on the scalp, neck, or ears. Lice eggs (nits) may also be visible near the base of the hair shafts. Look for small, oval-shaped insects crawling in the hair as well. If you suspect lice infestation, consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.
