= To begin with, 'What is a head lice?'
Head lice is a certain bug, as small as a sesame that nurtures and lays eggs in the hair, especially children at school age, given the crowded environment they live in, which make it easy fro lice to transfer from one head and inflict another. Lice has nothing to do with the cleanness of the hair of the culture of children inflicted with lice. It can easily move from the head of one kid to another and is widespread more in summer, in schools and nurseries.

It also has nothing to do with how rich or poor is the community the kid belongs to, a boy or a girl. However long hair make the head of the kid, whther a boy or a girl more prone to lice.

= Description-What does lice look like?
First we have to differentiate between lice and the eggs of a lice. 
Lice is a living buy that can be easily spotted moving in your kid's hair.
As for the Egg, which is more difficult to combat, it looks a bit like hair dandruff but it sticks at both sides of the head and the bottom back of it, in the middle of the hair, far from the skull of the kid. Thus combating lice in its two forms differs, requiring different actions to deal with each form.

To clear the head of both lice and eggs. The parent needs to buy a full hair system made specifically for combating lice and it is available in all pharmacies with different ranges of price. And almost all of them are good and effective. The system contains three bottles: 1- The Lotion, and it is used before washing the kid's hair. 2- The Shampoo, and which the parent uses in washing the kid's hair, at least once a week. 3- The Preventive Sirum, and which is applied on the kid's head after washing and can be used for sometime to protect the child's head against being inflicted with lice again, especially during school time.
Make sure you use a comb that has tiny sticks placed close to each other. You may even comb your kid's hair with a tooth brush, that you assign specifically for this job. Combing a kid's hair with the lotion in it or the shampoo using a tooth brush for three consecutive days can ensure your kid has a hair clean of lice. As for eggs, the birsh helps too, but you will need to have him sit or sleep in the sun and pick it with your own hands, wearing rubber gloves like those doctors use. Doing so can ensure your kid's head is 100% clean of lice eggs  in simply three days.

Such system is normally used for kids above the age 2, for its quite rare for lice to inflict baby's heads. But in case a baby, below 2 years is inflicted with lice or its eggs you can still use a toothbrush, but a soft one, along with vinegar mixxed with water. This will help kill the lice and thus have it washed away with water during shower. It also helps the eggs become less sticky which makes it wasy for the parent to pick it from the hair.

= The Cylce:
Why is Lice and its eggs so annoying and why is it so important to address such issue as quickly as possible. It's simply because lice can stay alive in a kid's head for about one month or 28 days. It lays about 10 eggs each day, each of which hatch after 6 to 9 days, and it takes each newly hatched eggd about 12 days to become an adult lice again. This sycle repeats itself every three weeks, which means having an enormous amount of lice in a kid's head if the issue is not addressed effectively.

Watch these staeps and consider applying them accurately. This can gauarantee you have kids with heads clean of lice almost all of the time during school and nursery.
