No, believe it or not, it is very rare for black people to get it. It has to do with the texture of our hair, lice cannot grip or hold on to it. Good question. We had this debate a couple of weeks ago. Cannot remember the site now, but it is in the med book Skin Disorders.

The first thing your friend should do is call the school and complain that her son keeps getting reinfested with head lice. Someone in school, probably in his class has them and isn't getting rid of them so it's become a cycle. The school nurse should be checking the kids in his class and sending the ones home who have them. They should not be allowed back in school until they are lice free. Your friend needs to get a fine tooth comb, it has teeth that are close together to remove the eggs and the lice. Dip the comb in a container of apple cider vinegar or white vinegar mixed with water: 1 parts water with 3 parts vinegar. Comb through the sections of the hair. Continue doing this until she has removed all lice and eggs. She may have to empty and refill the container with the vinegar and water solution. She should shampoo the hair afterwards. She should check his hair daily to see if there is sign of reinfectation. I would repeat the vinegar process every couple of days if she needs to. She also has to strip all the beds and wash the sheets and blankets with hot water and detergent. If the bed pillows have covers on them remove them and wash them also, if the pillows don't have covers and are inexpensive ones she might want to consider getting new ones. Vacuum all rugs and sofa etc. All clothing including pajamas should be washed with hot water and detergent. The same goes for jackets, hats, towels etc. Check everyone else in the household to make sure they are not being passed from one family member in the household. Any child he plays with who is scratching their head most likely has them too. My granddaughter had this problem for over a month. I used a pharmacy solution that kills both the egg and the live lice, it got to be expensive to do this once a week and her exposure to the chemicals was of great concern to me. I did her hair with the vinegar solution instead one night. The next day I took her to school and told the nurse what I used. She said that doesn't work. HA! What did she know. It worked just fine and she was allowed back to school. Tell your friend also, to keep his hair cut short.\nP.S. There were 7 children in our family, we had head lice once and my mother used the vinegar and water solution with the fine tooth comb. So it works.

You May NOT have lice!  You may have something entirely different.  Are you itching anywhere else?  Do you see signs of other "bugs"? I urge you to e-mail me as even if you do have lice you do not have to use the over promoted chemical cocktails sold in pharmacies.  Many times if it is lice, it is easily treated with a natural product called Melaleuca Oil.  Melaleuca Oil kills staph, step, bacteria, e-coli, parasites (aka lice and scabies), fungus and candida (or yeast).\n\nLet me know if you see any lesions or other signs other than the itching scalp.  I would never recommend puttinig poison on your scalp or any other part of  your body.  \n\nUsed successfully for a number of things over the yerars.\n\nI had what I THOUGHT was lice, but was something much more serious.\n\nGood Luck and Be Well.

My little sisters went through a terrible bout with head lice, and the only thing that worked, short of shaving their heads, was applying mayonnaise before bed, then leaving it in over night (they wore shower caps to bed).  This finally did the trick.

Use a shampoo with Tea Tree Oil in it - always...\nThis should reduce risk if re-infestation.\nWhen head lice are found, it's important that everyone in the household decontaminates at the same time - it doesn't work if one of you leaves it till next week!

go get some lice shampoo at your local pharmacy and treat your head just in case.  if you put your head on any object since the hat went on your head you may want to get the lice killing spray which will be next to the shampoo at your local pharmacy (i used to work at cvs)

If it isn't lice... Then you probably have dandruff/dry scalp? I read on the internet that an itchy dry scalp can be caused by some kind of bacteria and if you mix 1 part mouthwash and 8 parts water and then put it on when you have dry hair. You must rub in your scalp pretty well and wait 5 minutes before you rinse and wash your hair. It should get rid of your dry scalp. I tried it once and I thought it worked. Maybe the shampoos that you are using is drying out your scalp in your efforts to give it more moisture.

THE ONLY WAY:  (the poisons are bull)\n\never heard of nit-picking?  The only way to completely rid yourself of them is to get a nit comb and a bunch of hair clips.  You need to comb every strand of hair with the nit comb, in small groups.  I pull the hair back and clip it after I comb it.  You can't miss any spots or they will come back.  I learned this from a doctor on the internet.  He was promoting this $20 nit comb that was supposed to be great, but I just did it with a cheap one and made sure I got everything out.  I keep a bowl of alcohol nearby to dump in the nits and lice I catch.\n\nIt is a pain in the butt, but worth it.\n\nYou want to vacume the living room furniture and wash your bedding in hot water to keep from reinfestation.

An Apple Cider Vinegar rinse would help head itchies, if that's what you are talking about.\n\nPut about 1/2 tablespoon per cup of warm water, and make as much as you need to rinse your scalp and your hair. It helps restore the pH balance to your skin (which might be where the itchies are coming from) and also helps out your hair by closing the cuticles, removing build-up, detangling, and adding sheen.\n\nI urge everyone to try an ACV rinse! It's great!

Call CPS. If your neighbors are not taking care of their children, they shouldn't have any. But, if you don't want to go to that extreme, try helping them out. Buy some lice treatment and help them without asking. Clean their house for them one time. No child should live in those conditions.

I am very familiar with the procedures for lice.  In my daughters school if the teacher notices a kid scratching his/her head continually she is required to send the kid to the nurse.  The kid would be send home immediately.  The nurse was then required to check the heads of all kids in that grade.  Not just that class but the entire grade.  They figure they can catch them all and get rid of the problem.  They found them on my daughter this way.  The kid can not return to school until the nurse goes through the kid's head and is certain there are no live lice or nits.  My daughter had 1 nit and she had to go home.  I missed a lot of work that year.  My daughter had extremely long thick hair and regardless of how many times I went over the house, spraying for louse she still got them.  I would put all toys in trash bags for two weeks, vaccum all the furniture and floors, wash coats, all lienen washed and I would do the car too.  I braided her hair every day and she still managed to get lice three more times that year.  No one else in our family ever got lice which makes me believe she got them from school.  I'm only saying this so that you know it is not the parent's fault.  I believe the school did exactly what they should do.  Unfortunately these things are very difficult to get rid of.  I finally cut my daughter's hair and she never got them again.  Who knows if that is the reason or not.\nHas the kid had the lice the entire time or has she/he been treated but caught them again?  It would be intolerable for a kid to have them for that long.  My daughter maybe had them for two weeks at the most when she was going out of her mind scratching.  The laws have changed and the school does not have to send the child home for lice.  My school district has its own policy.  If you don't like the policy that your school has you should get on the PTA and help to make the change.  The school nurse told me use hairspray on my daughter's hair.  She said it helps to prevent catching them.

Go to the drug store and purchase RID-X.They have the shampoo and body wash for personal use,and a spray to use in the home.Be sure to wash EVERYTHING  in very hot water that came in contact with the lice( a little Lysol in the wash can't hurt either).
