I have been working as a health aid in elementary schools for the last 8 yrs. I have seen 6 cases where African American students have gotten head lice. Just as it is being reported here, it is difficult for black people to get it because of the shape of their hair and some of the products they use in their hair. There are certain oils that make it difficult for the lice to hold on to the hair but there are also oils that make it easy for them to attach themselves to the hair like the petroleum based oils. There are also essential oils that they just don't like, such as tea tree oil and peppermint oil. So it is possible just as being reported here. So the most important thing to remember is that lice is passed on from by head to head (hair to hair) contact, by using another person's hair things, wearing another person's clothing items that touch the hair, trying on items at the department stores, and one place that people never take in consideration is the movie theater seats. The reason theater seats are a big deal is because there is never a day where the movie theater is not empty. The lice can live off it's host for up to 24 hours. Most of the seats at the movies have had somebody in them within that time frame. So if you sat where somebody who has lice sat they could potentially leave lice behind. So you always have to take precautions in these situations. Tell you children not to share hair things with their friends and keep your child's hair up off their shoulders as much as possible. THINK PROTECTIVE STYLING.
I thought lice didn't like tea tree, lavender, peppermint oil, or any of the other essentials oils some of our products tend to have, which keeps them away. This concept is new to me. Even when I was in elementary school, I never got them. My mom used that bergamot grease on my scalp. My white friends got lice though. You learn something new every day. Interesting.
White people usually don't put any oils in their hair, because their hair makes its own oils. Europeans in the middle ages would sometimes use lavender to fight fleas and lice, so it probably helps straight hair some, but I have never heard of any non-hippe white people using it, LOL.

My son who is the only African in his class has never had lice even though there is ALWAYS lice epidemic in his class. He has dreadlocks too. I wash his hair almost every day and I rinse it with ACV and tea tree essential oil then I oil his scalp with my Shea butter n castor oil etc mixture. Plus I do all this in the sauna ( Finland) Lice cannot even try to get close to his head at allllll😤
@Observe self I knew my son had them ( I agree they are hard to see) so I put a lot of grease in my hair and that confirmed that I had them because they moved more toward the ends of my hair then the scalp. Idk if that make sense. All I know is, after I put grease on my hair that made them come out. To where I was able tp see them
Teo Lou i forgot what its called but its probably something they put in the hair. Thats why i soak with ACV and then you'll see some kind of residue then wash it with shampoo let it dry and you're good to go
My first time seeing lice was this year. My two biracial nieces both got those blood suckers. Everybody in the house, on the black side (lol), was shocked, because we've never seen them. Some got onto my clothes when i was trying to wash my nieces' hair, and throughout the day, but none of us ever got the lice in our own hair. I wasn't even putting products in my hair, so i'm glad i didn't get any in my hair. Of course, black ppl can get lice, but i think we are least likely to get it. Now...idk about them mutated ones tho 😐

Hey there, I do lice treatments as a side gig because it pays well. In all of my years of treating lice, I've only treated one person of color (biracial girl). I usually treat lice/eggs with baking soda and olive oil. I tell clients to oil at night then shampoo in the morning with a lice comb and repeat this process for 7 to 10 days. Always wear your hair up in a bun or high ponytail. And NEVER share brushes, hats, or helmets!
I believe the reason why it's harder for us to get head lice especially people who have 4c hair is because our hair is a lot thicker n harder for lice to breath n survive on our scalp.

My daughter is black. She has 3b hair and got lice 3x from a girl with straight hair in her class. The experience was so traumatic! I used the treatment that killed the lice but it came back because 4 people in the class ended up getting it. (Funny thing all the kids that got it had loose curls) I put the treatment in my hair just as precaution I have 4 type hair and some of my hair fell out bc it still had a little relaxer in it. (Thankfully I had no lice in my hair at all. They never went in my hair even though she slept next to me at times.) I realized you can't use this product (Rid X and Equate) if you have any chemicals in your hair i.e. Relaxer, color. You can opt to use the natural lice treatment but they are less effective.
Lice prefers CLEAN hair. Free of oil. My mom is from Ghana and she said in boarding school she got lice. Her hair is kinky Afro hair. She told me hair oil helped to repel it. She told me this when I was 8. My mom is old school African. I’m now 45 and own a lice company. I am a cosmetologist and have treated lice for over 20 years so this isn’t all the way correct. I am also biracial and see that ANYONE can get lice. They don’t like OILS. I treat lice for a living so just use hair oil That’s how I never got lice. I did my first lice removal at the age of 8 with my mom helping me. This is a great vlog. Lice are adapting. The best treatment is DIATOMACEOUS EARTH. IT IS A MECHANICAL SOLUTION THAT BREAKS DOWN THE LOUSE AND NITS. 🙏🏽
Everytime people say black people cant get lice it kinda makes me embarrassed because when I was 8/9 I had headlice and my family didn’t understand why because me and my sister and my brother had it and they use to protective style and check our hair and I don’t wanna sound rude by blaming someone else but.. I remember having a friend who’s hair was filled with headlice 😅
Jade Grenade nope Black people don’t all shave their heads darling most just don’t get lice. I would think it’s the texture, but even when my hair was relaxed and I was around girls with lice I didn’t get them.
I suggest Natroba for an black person with lice. It kills both lice and nits. My daughter recently got it from school and that's what we had to use. She has natural hair down to her waist, and that lice comb did not cut it.
Flat iron her hair use mayo put Walmart bag over it then in the morning rinse out put vinegar in there then wash it over then use the nitting comb comb it
That’s odd to hear, I always thought it was more common to black people. In my country, head lice are pretty common, especially on children, almost every child over here gets it at least ones and most of them have 4c hair. I live in Angola, a West-coast country in Africa.
I could only listen and not watch. I'm already in bed but I just feel like washing my hair. I never get an itchy scalp but today my scalp was so itchy, I even took my hair down while in the elevator to scratch it . And now I'm seeing this video . 😨 sorry I do love your videos, but this one is hard.
My daughter is in the .3% that was exposed to lice. Prior to this, I was under the assumption that we couldn't get it as well. She was 10 years old and an all star cheerleader. The majority of her squad was Caucasian, however her position o. The squad was a base. She we was exposed to these pest from a flyer who had it. She has very thick and coily hair we had to do three rounds of the treatment to completely get rid of the infestation. Thank you for sharing this information! More of us need to know that we can contract these pest
in my 31 years of living I've never seen not one black person with head lice infestations and in school when I was there and none of black girls got lice so I find this hard to believe in America I guess
lice are very comment in Africa Thank you for explaining this because when I try to explain I am told it is not true but growing up in west Africa I have seen so many people with lice.
Hello. I'm a recent subbie, and I must say I'm very impressed with your videos. I've learned a lot. So I was wondering if you could address hair facts and care for menopausal women like myself. I know you're not there yet, lol, but I'm sure there are others besides me who would find this info helpful. Thanks so much for all your hard work and well-put together presentations!
Hello Linda, that's a great idea. Menopause can do a number on your hair and skin so, I agree it's important to share ways to make the process smoother and less damaging.
No and any body that does is either mixed race, wearing other people hair or using other people combs are brushes or just lying! Never heard of in my black family!
can we have a part 2. how to get rid of of them, what products are best for natural hair, home made products etc.. how to treat our hair after using the treatment. do we wash everything we have, hats, blankets and if yes with what? (or maybe they don't survive if not in hair after a while) sorry you scared me and I've never met anyone with lice so I have no idea how it works. I just know that my head is itching like crazy now. lol. in the comments some people talk about "ring worms" can you do a video on that too please. thanks for all your videos.
When I was in elementary school and we had lice checks, the school nurse would just look at me and go “You don’t have lice... and you braid your hair everyday. You probably won’t ever get them.” And that was that. Since then we’ve never had lice, me or my older brother. My little brother is mixed, his hair is more straight. A while back he was having itching and irritation on his head and back we thought it was his detergent (he was sensitive as a baby) and we started trying different clothes and detergents. It wasn’t until another woman looked when she was doing his hair that we found out that he had lice. We had absolutely no way of even knowing. My mom was upset but really it got remedied quickly. It was just surprising it literally NEVER crossed out minds. Needless to say he now has his hair thoroughly oiled and braided everyday. We haven’t cut his hair since he was born so he has long hair.
Lice is so scary. Though I went to a predominantly white elementary school, I never got it. I did remember a Black teacher saying lice don't like our hair because of grease usage.
I’ve been avoiding this video for a realllllyyy longggg tiiimeeeee. I’ve been itching since the intro of this video lol... THANK GOD for my curly hair. Amen. (But them mutated ones doe)
I'm Filipino and I look more Chinese ,Korean,Japanese but my hair is so kinky since my grandma told me we have some Black American Blood so I now have lice I don't know how since I always take bath and it's really hard living alone .
Ami- lee lol. that's someone who thinks you made a grammatical error😂😂😂 but I feel u girl. I'm about to buy the biggest bottles of dettol I can find rn
FamousChattingStories Tv Yes ma’am and the child that passed it on to my child was also black. Don’t believe the hype. And I know other black women who have had to del with this issue.
Dr Jeanne-Isaïe ahhahaha it's so good to catch them and kill with the nails ahahaha so relaxing. I don't remember to have it as a kid but we do this way here and acid vinegar kills the eggs
My sons class just had a student that had lice. Now I’m over here tripping. He has short hair and a little longer on top. So he barely has any hair at all. So I’m sure he’s good. But I’m going in tmrw on his hair. Shampoo and tree oil.
Jolie 44 some use lice shampoo and you spend awhile getting them out of the scalp then you set the person, with chemical, in the sun. I never had any bugs in my hair being around white ppl who have it.
RickyboyH Right! I know for a fact that I have been around a number of white ppl with bugs in their hair but it never happen to me. I would have to question how much if their hair is more albino than black.
I had lice before coated my big fro with olive oil and it took me 5 hours to get them completely out I was 15 back then 😓 .. now I (only) discovered one lice in my denman brush🤢 and I'm in panic!! in an instant i reached to my olive oil bottle. Just to be sure I will leave it in overnight
OK. So what do you do if you actually do have lice in your hair? I was never afraid of lice before. But since you told me about those mutated ones, I'm worried! And how in the world do you get them? Do they jump from head to head or do they move around like bed bugs? I wanna know! LOL!
I got head lice in my locs I believe it was from sharing a room too ughhh had to cut all my waist length locs off but my new cut 🔥 😂 I also was itching on my neck, in my ears, & legs ....most disgusting thing I ever experienced
Their food source is your scalp 😱 I always heard it was due to the oils we used, where straighter hair ppl wash often to cut down on their natural oils
A relaxer would work. But, for those who don't want to use chemicals they can try flat ironing or hot combing their hair instead. th-cam.com/video/ktdoBwCbdOw/w-d-xo.html
This is pure insanity. They come from one place and they are spread. Back in the day my people had far more discernment and critical thinking regarding the heathen. We're so polite. We share the affliction as if it is ours to share, again, ever so politely. The woodwose just need to tell the truth, but do I expect them to, heavens no. The secular seem to always have a wholly worldly answer, to everything..
@@hellbound00615 lice, come from the hirsute pilosus wild and war-like caveman WILDMANN heathen homo monstrosus homo ferus, homo sylvanus, homme sauvage HAIRY wild-man of the forest groves/woods, snows, caves, trogodyte holes dug into the Earth, swamps.. THE original etymology/taxonomy of the now suppressed SIMIAN, ape-men, yirens, barmanou, basajuan, momo, DIDI, woodwose etcetera tribes, all well documented, and to be found in all* lands, those- mysteriously, known as cryptids and myths today, by their very descendants.. they are the "people" called THE STRANGE "peoples" of the land, in the Hebrew Bible.. Those, ever reputed as nothing. Those, he patiently forbeareth. They called themselves the "free peoples" in ancient times.. The Bible calls them heathens, esotericists, witches, the unbelieving, and the unclean, THE confederate, shameless nations.. Today they all pretend to be the descendants of their ancient enemies, especially since the heathen who sought out the Book of the Law, painted it over in their own likenesses, as was prophesied.. Supposedly, this is a "secret".. Where do lice come "FROM"? Well, who is most often/commonly afflicted with them, today? .. I see there can be no distinction between certain peoples, and yet there clearly is distinction between us all, clearly defined distinctions. Even the hirsute "scholars and scientists" say that lice came from 'THE CAVEMEN'.. Caveman descendants still are afflicted with them until this day, and like any infestation any people can then catch them from those who naturally 'have' them.. Everyone does not experience them, but it is apparent that many peoples do so, but secretly.. They can say that lice came from what is now called "Africa", but all that really means is they came from* the hairy pale WILDMANN caveman tribes OF "Africa", those Hanno called the hairy gorillai trogodytes.. The modern caveman tribes have done their form of damage control as regards their true ancestors, or so they think.. We can all see that the WILDMANN tribes of all lands, are the only folks out "looking" for the wild HAIRY "cryptids" of the woods, like that hairy guy, Sasquatch.. Bigfoot, is misdirection.. jojo jeftichew, stephan bibrowski, the hairy folks of Kostroma forest were not "rarities"
Hi so i have a question i got a perm a few months ago and i wanted to ask i caught nits off this little girl i slept with on holiday at night ew! But ive been itchy recently but combs dont fit through curly hair so will this work or no? I can soak it with water then cover it in conditioner then try to use the nit comb so it slips through will it work or not?
Zobia_ 14x girl if you have nappy hair you have to put mayo in there put a Walmart bag on it for 6 or 5 hours or overnight wash it out then put apple cider and vinegar in there but if you got nappy hair flat iron it first
I have an itchy mosquito looking bump in the middle of my head and my hair is really short right there I was wondering if you had any clue as to what it could be.
I was always told that lice would die in afro hair, as it is unable to crawl around and lay eggs? I love your graphics, and your vids, I had to make do my vids in IMVU style lol

the essential oils that you list are natural insect repellents so that would help prevent them and get rid of them if a person caught lice
Innocent Exactly! You can used those oils for your plants to repelled any insects away from eating them.

I just know that my head is itching like crazy now. lol. in the comments some people talk about "ring worms" can you do a video on that too please. thanks for all your videos.
The next video will answer all those questions. This Thursday
Here's a link to the Part 2 - How to avoid and get rid of HEAD LICE - th-cam.com/video/ktdoBwCbdOw/w-d-xo.html
I hope its helpful :-)
maaaaaaaan I'm itching baaaaad😤😤😤😤
lol
When I was in elementary school and we had lice checks, the school nurse would just look at me and go “You don’t have lice... and you braid your hair everyday. You probably won’t ever get them.” And that was that. Since then we’ve never had lice, me or my older brother. My little brother is mixed, his hair is more straight. A while back he was having itching and irritation on his head and back we thought it was his detergent (he was sensitive as a baby) and we started trying different clothes and detergents. It wasn’t until another woman looked when she was doing his hair that we found out that he had lice. We had absolutely no way of even knowing. My mom was upset but really it got remedied quickly. It was just surprising it literally NEVER crossed out minds. Needless to say he now has his hair thoroughly oiled and braided everyday. We haven’t cut his hair since he was born so he has long hair.
This channel should have way more subs
Lice is so scary. Though I went to a predominantly white elementary school, I never got it. I did remember a Black teacher saying lice don't like our hair because of grease usage.
Your teacher was right, lice hate petroleum and many chemical and natural oil products.
The info was needed.
I’ve been avoiding this video for a realllllyyy longggg tiiimeeeee. I’ve been itching since the intro of this video lol... THANK GOD for my curly hair. Amen. (But them mutated ones doe)
Now I truly understand why lice is such a scary thing.. I'm like freaking out and I feel itchy just thinking about it.
I still can't stop geting the chills
I'm Filipino and I look more Chinese ,Korean,Japanese but my hair is so kinky since my grandma told me we have some Black American Blood so I now have lice I don't know how since I always take bath and it's really hard living alone .
one word DETOOOOOOOOOL
Ami- lee *detail
what?
Ami- lee lol. that's someone who thinks you made a grammatical error😂😂😂 but I feel u girl. I'm about to buy the biggest bottles of dettol I can find rn
Lol they should look up detol lol.
Ami- lee exactly, with their ignorant selves😐
My daughter got lice for the first time. It took me 3 hrs to clean and comb them out. Now I have to do my own and repeat in a week
Rhonda Denis , Are you black?
FamousChattingStories Tv Yes ma’am and the child that passed it on to my child was also black. Don’t believe the hype. And I know other black women who have had to del with this issue.
Rhonda Denis Soo scary
I've had dandruff before and that's all I ever had, never had bugs in my head so I'll never understand.
Ahhh!!! Now I'm itching and got the willies!!😖
lol sorry :-(
I would need them gone super fast! Either that or the clippers would come out, I couldn't bare insects in my hair.
Can you do a video on benefits of using rice water?
This is probably the most disgusting video ever made on this channel , i swear every time i hear about "parasites" ugh
Dr Jeanne-Isaïe ahhahaha it's so good to catch them and kill with the nails ahahaha so relaxing. I don't remember to have it as a kid but we do this way here and acid vinegar kills the eggs
yep & the only reason we may get it is because we are using a lice infected brush or hat..
Taj Mahal or by relaxing our hair.
Why am I watching this at night and feeling a tickle in my head
I wish I had curls now Im completely strait!
Can you make a video of explaining how does greasing your scalp does or doesn't promote hair growth? I've seen it work for some people
My sons class just had a student that had lice. Now I’m over here tripping. He has short hair and a little longer on top. So he barely has any hair at all. So I’m sure he’s good. But I’m going in tmrw on his hair. Shampoo and tree oil.
I’m sure he’s good too but, I agree with you. It’s best to be safe than sorry 💚
I’ve had head lice twice as a child. Once in Nigeria and one in America. Both given to me by someone else. Yes, Black people can get hair lice.
Yep my bf definitely gave me head lice 🤦🏿♀️😩 but I’m getting bit up too .
I was really wondering what bug it was
Wow, how do you treat/get rid of head lice?
Jolie 44 some use lice shampoo and you spend awhile getting them out of the scalp then you set the person, with chemical, in the sun. I never had any bugs in my hair being around white ppl who have it.
RickyboyH Right! I know for a fact that I have been around a number of white ppl with bugs in their hair but it never happen to me. I would have to question how much if their hair is more albino than black.
I had head lice before and by the time i noticed, it had already damaged my scalp/roots. My parts were very.....spacy.
I had lice before coated my big fro with olive oil and it took me 5 hours to get them completely out I was 15 back then 😓 .. now I (only) discovered one lice in my denman brush🤢 and I'm in panic!! in an instant i reached to my olive oil bottle. Just to be sure I will leave it in overnight
Can't u wash them off with lime juice?😫
samy lynch does it work?
Purplefrilly I don't know I just asking, because lime have natural acid and burn.
Some people shave their hair to remove all the lice, and idk what type my hair is, buy it’s easy get knots but it’s not staright Nor curly
OK. So what do you do if you actually do have lice in your hair? I was never afraid of lice before. But since you told me about those mutated ones, I'm worried! And how in the world do you get them? Do they jump from head to head or do they move around like bed bugs? I wanna know! LOL!
Thank you for the video GREEN BEAUTY
And can you please do a video on the green house method for natural hair
FINALLY SOME VIDEO WITH MY TYPE OF HAIR, CURLY!
Shave my hair, eyebrows matter-of-fact shave and wax my whole damn body.😣
I got head lice after sharing a room with some friends over a few days 😬
I got head lice in my locs I believe it was from sharing a room too ughhh had to cut all my waist length locs off but my new cut 🔥 😂 I also was itching on my neck, in my ears, & legs ....most disgusting thing I ever experienced
Thank you for sharing this wonderful informative video on head lice.
Their food source is your scalp 😱
I always heard it was due to the oils we used, where straighter hair ppl wash often to cut down on their natural oils
I'm shocked I haven't contacted head lice since half of my friends are white, and I have a Biracial nephew.
My boys had the worst infestation I had ever seen. They are black w/ kinky-textured hair. It was awful. We thought we’d have to cut their hair. 😣
No one in my family never had lice and l never heard of lice until later as l got older.
I have been finding strands of hair with holes in them like the strand split in the middle and I can't find a lot of info on it. Is it normal
Here's a link to a video that goes over mid strand splits - th-cam.com/video/x_tqq9rCQBc/w-d-xo.html
Well I’m going to go oil my hair
i think most africans don't get lice due to relaxing the hairthat is how a friend of mine got rid of hers
A relaxer would work. But, for those who don't want to use chemicals they can try flat ironing or hot combing their hair instead. th-cam.com/video/ktdoBwCbdOw/w-d-xo.html
Nobody i know has had lice.
could perm kill?
Great video thanks
iam shooketh i never new i could get head lice
Love your naps❤️
This is pure insanity. They come from one place and they are spread. Back in the day my people had far more discernment and critical thinking regarding the heathen.
We're so polite. We share the affliction as if it is ours to share, again, ever so politely.
The woodwose just need to tell the truth, but do I expect them to, heavens no.
The secular seem to always have a wholly worldly answer, to everything..
Lice came from Africa and spread all over the world unlike humans.
@@hellbound00615 lice, come from the hirsute pilosus wild and war-like caveman WILDMANN heathen homo monstrosus homo ferus, homo sylvanus, homme sauvage HAIRY wild-man of the forest groves/woods, snows, caves, trogodyte holes dug into the Earth, swamps..
THE original etymology/taxonomy of the now suppressed SIMIAN, ape-men, yirens, barmanou, basajuan, momo, DIDI, woodwose
etcetera tribes, all well documented, and to be found in all* lands,
those- mysteriously, known as cryptids and myths today, by their very descendants..
they are the "people" called THE STRANGE "peoples" of the land, in the Hebrew Bible..
Those, ever reputed as nothing.
Those, he patiently forbeareth.
They called themselves the "free peoples" in ancient times..
The Bible calls them heathens, esotericists, witches, the unbelieving, and the unclean,
THE confederate, shameless nations..
Today they all pretend to be the descendants of their ancient enemies, especially since the heathen who sought out the Book of the Law, painted it over in their own likenesses, as was prophesied..
Supposedly, this is a "secret"..
Where do lice come "FROM"?
Well, who is most often/commonly afflicted with them, today? ..
I see there can be no distinction between certain peoples, and yet there clearly is distinction between us all, clearly defined distinctions.
Even the hirsute "scholars and scientists" say that lice came from 'THE CAVEMEN'..
Caveman descendants still are afflicted with them until this day, and like any infestation any people can then catch them from those who naturally 'have' them..
Everyone does not experience them, but it is apparent that many peoples do so,
but secretly..
They can say that lice came from what is now called "Africa", but all that really means is they came from* the hairy pale WILDMANN caveman tribes OF "Africa",
those Hanno called the hairy gorillai trogodytes..
The modern caveman tribes have done their form of damage control as regards their true ancestors, or so they think..
We can all see that the WILDMANN tribes of all lands, are the only folks out "looking" for the wild HAIRY "cryptids" of the woods,
like that hairy guy, Sasquatch..
Bigfoot, is misdirection..
jojo jeftichew, stephan bibrowski, the hairy folks of Kostroma forest were not "rarities"
I got an ad for guess before the video
Am not black but I ain’t white I have curly at the ends and straight in the top am gonna start useing my oil more
I can't watch the animation. I get too scrimy.
that was informative.......but gross! all those bugs crawling all over the screen! yuk!
Lice comes from non-black people skin natruly
Hi so i have a question i got a perm a few months ago and i wanted to ask i caught nits off this little girl i slept with on holiday at night ew! But ive been itchy recently but combs dont fit through curly hair so will this work or no? I can soak it with water then cover it in conditioner then try to use the nit comb so it slips through will it work or not?
Zobia_ 14x girl if you have nappy hair you have to put mayo in there put a Walmart bag on it for 6 or 5 hours or overnight wash it out then put apple cider and vinegar in there but if you got nappy hair flat iron it first
I have an itchy mosquito looking bump in the middle of my head and my hair is really short right there I was wondering if you had any clue as to what it could be.
I was always told that lice would die in afro hair, as it is unable to crawl around and lay eggs? I love your graphics, and your vids, I had to make do my vids in IMVU style lol
I was wondering are there any shampoos that get rid of lice? I don't have them but just tryna stay precautious
can you please do a video on rice water.
Im scared I just found a little bug on my pillow idk if it’s lice or just a bug
Guys I actually have lice
How’d you get rid of it
Does this also apply for natural curly hair that’s not Afro textured?
SHHH!!! I MIGHT HAVE IT LICE
Wym by natural hair though is straight hair not natural hair???
I remember it like it was yesterday lol ... it was soo hard to take it out...
I've seen carpet beetles in locs
Few
I am so happy I’m not dealing wit lice no more it made my li a living hell
