Head lice start out white in color and are no bigger than the head on a pin. This egg takes anywhere from seven to nine days to hatch. Once the egg hatches it is called a nymph. Then the nymph changes to a brown red color once it has eaten its first meal. Now that's disgusting!

The most common way on how to get rid of lice is, without a doubt, the use of specially-formulated anti-lice shampoos. There are a multitude of these types of shampoos being sold in the market today. They can be purchased off the counter, with no need for prescriptions.

Symptoms of Head Lice: -

The main symptom is an itchy head (caused by the louse's saliva when it removes a tiny amount of blood from the scalp), but a person can have head lice and not know it. “The gold standard for diagnosing lice is finding a live one on the head, but they can be very difficult to spot,” notes Will. They crawl fast (up to 12 inches or 30 cm per hour – that's fast if you're the size of a sesame seed!) but do not fly or jump.

Many people prefer to use head lice alternative treatments as they normally do not have any bad side effects as they are generally made up of natural products they do not even have a bad smell, like with over the counter products. However, if you start showing signs of rashes, hives or have trouble breathing, stop the head lice alternative treatment and ring your doctor.

Most of the natural head lice treatments that are recommended are done so through anecdotal evidence only. They have not been through the standardized tests where the conditions have been strictly controlled such as those in over the counter treatments.
