How do people get lice in their hair?

Question

What kind of hair is it more likley to get lice in? -Dirty hair that isn't washed enough, or really clean hair that is washed and cared for daily?

Answer 1

Lice are passed by simple, casual contact, espeically sharing clothing, grooming aids, or leaning with heads close together.

Lice also love a clean scalp; it allows them better access to the skin oils they feed on.

Answer 2

lice come due to weather conditions according to me. If it's hot and musty and your hair has too much moisture than you will get lice. But it can also be because of dirty hair and maybe because of a certain hair product that you used. It is very contagious, even if you have contact with someone who has lies you can and most probably will get it.

If your hair is clean and is cared for daily than obviously you won't get lice!...BUT there's still a chance!

Answer 3

I heard that clean hair is preferred for lice because it's easy for them to crawl around. Dirty hair is hard to move around, since it's oily. The hair type doesn't matter, and everyone has the same chance of getting lice when coming into contact. People get lice in their hair from outdoors, and coming into contact with people who have it.

Answer 4

Lice like dirty hair and especially when its not washed out its a phase that a young person goes through cuz when i was 7 or 8 i got lice and it took a while for them to really clear out.

Answer 5

I take a shower daily, and I wash it, and its very clean, and I dont have lice. I think it would be the dirty hair that isnt washed enough. Good luck tho!

Answer 6

Lice actually like extremely clean hair. They don't wanna chill in dirty gross hair either, lol.
Sleeping on the floor is a pretty good way to get them. That's how my whole kindergarten class got them.

Answer 7

Lice leap from head to head - I doubt it would really matter to head lice wether hair was clean or not, so it wouldnt mean the person was dirty. I always got told they prefered a clean head, but think that might be a myth.

Answer 8

um either can catch lice. You catch lice by being around other people who have lice, because lice jump from head to head. creepy huh. Just make sure you stay away from all people who scratch their heads frequently. But it's probably a good idea to keep your hair clean anyway.

Answer 9

People get lice from other people who have lice. You should wash hair regularly.

Answer 10

The first question: A communicable disease. The second, of course dirty, it gets a chance to generate the lice and get whole families of them growing through their stages then, the person brushes against someone, say, you, then their hair rubs against yours, or you foolishly give your brush to someone with lice or, your cap, scarf, then you have them.
