What's the difference between a nit and a head louse?

FAQ about NITMIX treatment and removing headlice naturally
A nit is the common name for the little white egg cases that you see in clusters close to the skin. They are so well glued on that you are more likely to pull out the hair than pull off the nits. If the nits are part way up a strand of hair don't worry, they will have hatched a long time ago, just let them grow out.

How long can a head louse live once it's dislodged from your body?

Head lice and hair lice
Once dislodged, a louse can survive only around two days because it won't have a source of moisture or food. A louse will survive less than this in colder climates and if it hadn't eaten prior to its being dislodged. Head lice understand that separation from the environment they need for survival means death so they do what they can to remain firmly attached to the head. That's why it's unlikely you'll find head lice on furniture, clothing or surfaces other than the head.

What are the life stages of a louse?

Head lice and hair lice
Each time a head louse enters a different stage, it leaves its shell. What remains is light-brown colored dead skin that resembles a dead louse. As you comb through hair using NITMIX Wet Combing Aid, these shells will fall out and make it appear as though the infestation is much worse than it is. They'll also fall out of the hair naturally and they'll land on pillows which is one reason why people think this is how lice are spread.

Will every louse lay eggs?

Head lice and hair lice
No because some of the lice are male and some female lice will be unfertilized meaning they won't lay any eggs. When parents find large adult lice, they always think they're in for a battle. But when nothing further happens, they realize that what they found was a male louse or a female louse that's unfertilized. Large-sized adult lice don't just appear by magic.

What are Head Lice?

NIX LICE TREATMENT
Head lice are small insects (about 1/8 of an inch in size) that live and breed on the human scalp. They live approximately 40-50 days and go through three stages in their life cycle: eggs, nymphs and adults. They are about the size of sesame seeds, brownish in color, and can be detected by carefully inspecting the scalp with a magnifying glass and plenty of light. You should know that head lice are treatable, very rarely cause serious health problems, and don't warrant great concern.
