The head louse (Pediculus humanus capitis) is one of the many varieties of sucking lice specialized to live on different areas of various animals.
As the name implies, head lice are specialized to live among the hair on the human head and are exquisitely adapted to living mainly on the scalp and neck hairs of their human host.

Head Lice Life cycle
.
Louse eggs on the hair very close to the scalp are the primary sign of an active infestation. A female can lay up to 50-150 eggs in its life, but it can lay up to 100 eggs in 30 days. She also glues her eggs, sometimes called "nits", which look like tiny white beads, to hair shafts very close to the scalp (usually about a centimeter or two [half an inch to three-quarters of an inch] from the scalp). Eggs are very small, about the size of a period "." (full stop) in normal printing. Eggs may appear white, yellowish, brownish or greyish, but are almost always lighter colored. An egg normally undergoes a 7-9 day incubation before hatching as a baby nymph.
Classically, a louse egg does not become a "nit" until after it has completed its incubation stage, thus leaving a "nit." A "nit" is either the empty shell remaining after the nymph has departed or the dead egg that remains if incubation was not successful. Dead eggs will appear darker, or raisin-like, as they dry out. "Nits" of this sort are usually found over one centimeter (approximately one-half inch) or more away from the scalp and are not considered a sign of active infestation. Some people refer to lice eggs, live or dead, as "nits." In common usage, an egg that is still incubating may also be called a "nit."
Head lice have no wings and move primarily by crawling. They have no adaptations for jumping.
Whether a louse is male or female is not apparent until it is nearly mature. It takes about 10 days for a head louse to grow into an adult. Fertilization of eggs takes place once the female is mature. The female can then lay 3-7 eggs each day for the next 28 to 30 days, her normal life span. Females may lay multiple eggs on one hair or lay an egg on a hair and then move on.
There are three main stages in the life of a head louse: the nit, the nymph, and the adult.
* Nit: [1]Nits are head lice eggs. They are hard to see and are found firmly attached to the hair shaft. They are oval and usually yellow to white. Nits take about 1 week to hatch.
* Nymph: The nit hatches into a baby louse called a nymph. It looks like an adult head louse, but is smaller. Nymphs mature into adults about 7 days after hatching. To live, the nymph must feed on blood. It metamorphoses 3 times before it reaches the adult stage. Most head lice at this stage are almost transparent until they have eaten (sucked blood from a human skin). Then they can be seen more easily since it will be possible to see the tiny amount of

- The texture and type of the hair to be straightened will greatly influence the kind of device and product to pick, this is because short hair will call for a different type of straightener compared to long hair and so does naturally smooth and soft hair. Another factor to consider is whether you need to straighten hair permanently or temporarily. Additionally you also need to differentiate professional devices that can be used commercially from those that are just for home use, using your home use hair straighteners in a commercial environment will shorten their life span in no time as you will be overloading them with work that the device is not designed for.

- Unfortunately, many of us have had a run-in with head lice at one time or another, especially those of us with school-aged children. Having lice is not a sign of being unclean, as the pests can infect people of any age and background regardless of their hygiene habits or lack thereof. Luckily there are several common head louse treatment methods that can be completely effective at getting rid of the harmless, but pesky creatures.

- My daughter of 10 used to have lice and when i read up on using a straightner to kill the lice, i thought i was a great idea because we had tried so many things before. I ended up buying this expensive steam straightner and used it on my daughter's head.WOW,,, this is one of THE worst mistakes i made because not only did it get rid of the lice, it started a whole new infestation. NEVER use a steam straightner, i would recommend a regular plain old fashioned straightner (but even that does not work that well.The best thing is to rinse the hair with mayonnaise or vinegar).
