Oh my gosh.
throw out all your hair thing in the house, head bands, hats, brushes.
get a lice kit from the drug store and meticulously go through your, and everyone in your household's heads!
seriously.
wash ALL your bed linens and clothes, even if they are folded and clean now, you need to wash them in the HOTTEST water you can.
also, use a spray to kill the bugs and eggs on your furniture, as well as vacuuming the furniture.
lice can be SO hard to get rid of but if you clean everything perfectly the first time, you won't have to do it again!!!

Head lice live on humans and don't often spread this way. A hair strand could have an egg attached which is unlike to hatch if it get cold away from a human body.
If you want to keep your brushes just pull out the hair from your brush and wash it under running warm water with a little shampoo.
This is not an INFECTION All that advice to boil stuff would apply if you were trying to kill bacteria or viral material Head lice wash of smooth plastic brushes and combs very easily.
Also, for get all that nonsense about washing bedding and stuff... complete rubbish. Please read the articles below.

I use the lice remover for dogs on my combs. Just let them have a very long bath. :) And just washing them with water won't work. Lice don't drown.

First Soak them in HOT Water with at least 1 cup of bleach for at least 15 minutes. Then clean them thoroughly removing all debris from the bristles. then allow them to dry and spray them with 70% rubbing alcohol. You can also purchase a disinfectant from a beauty supply store.

either buy new brushes, or soak them in bleach for a while, then wash them with hot soapy water. Not all brushes can hold up to that kind of treatment though, so good luck!

Boil anything hard, like hairbrushes or clips, etc. Personally my best advice is to not take the chance and buy a new brush.

put them in very very hot water and let them sit there over night. It may get very hot the plastic will melt a little. But thats the best way or throw them out and get new ones.
