[quote=Anonymous]PP is right; if your DD's hair is long enough, have her wear it braided or up in a bun as much as possible and tell her outright that hugginess will indeed possibly spread lice. Middle school and high school lice. What fun. My HS daughter got head lice at a sleepover with her very huggy friends. It's not the end of the world but it's a pain if they have long or thick (or long AND thick) hair. My hairdresser said that the lice "prevention" products like special shampoos etc. that supposedly repel lice don't really work. Prevention through keeping hair away from other kids' hair is the best route, according to the hairdresser. But I'd be interested to hear if parents have had good expereinces with the repelling shampoos etc. [/quote]
