How to Spot Nits in Hair: What Parents Should Know

When families are researching head lice, the most useful information is practical, clear, and based on the current product label.

It is educational information and does not replace the current Drug Facts label or advice from a qualified healthcare professional.

Compare what you see at the hair shaft with reliable identification guidance; nits are attached to individual hairs, while loose flakes or residue may move more easily. If you cannot confidently identify the finding, ask a pharmacist or healthcare professional.
