[quote=Anonymous]It's not just selfies -- the kids put their heads together to watch videos on their phones. THat's like a nice little bridge for the lice to walk acorss. The other way I've heard it spreads in teen girls is because they brush their hair in the bathroom. The static electricity can propel the lice a couple feet -- that's just one I heard online but it made sense to me. I told my daughter not to stand next to people brushing their hair in the bathroom. One warning about the prevention shampoos. A lot of them use tea tree oil, which is drying. I was using it on my daughter for lice prevention and she kept itching and I was scared she had it. Turns out that the tea tree oil shampoo was just really drying out her scalp. I've also heard that the silicone products they sell to protect hair from hair dryers works, as the lice can't attach to the silicone layer, but that's stuff's expensive and you'd have to put it all through the hair.[/quote]
