The best way to remove nits (lice eggs) is manually, using a fine tooth lice comb and nit-picking where necessary. Studies show that the best lice comb on the market is the Terminator Lice comb. It beats the Licemeister comb and Rid Combs which are often sold in drugstores. There are many products and devices which can aid in treating lice and nits, but the only, 100% way to get rid of a lice infestation is to comb everything out of the hair. This is what is recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Harvard School of Public Health. There are no shortcuts. We strongly caution you that "if it sounds to good to be true, it is too good to be true." Our company has treated thousands of heads, many of whom tried pesticide based treatments, non-toxic treatments and even controlled heated air devices. In the end those treatments failed and they came to us to "fix" the mistake because we focus completely on 100% lice and nit removal. This is the key.

Can you use a nit comb if you don't have nits?

No, the combs remove the adult head lice but not the "nits" which are their eggs, which they stick to the base of the hairs. So if you have nits, coming out the adult lice will not remove the infestation as more lice will hatch out from the nits. As well as combing the hair you need to kill the nits with some proprietary medicine.

How big are nits and what are the dots im getting out of your hair now?

Nits are the eggs laid by human head lice Pediculosis capitis. The lice are about a millimeter long (easy to see look in the related link below). I suspect the dots you are finding are the eggs (nits) that are glued to the base of your hair strands. The eggs (nits) are very difficult to remove even after they are dead or have hatched.You need to kill the lice and the eggs using some proprietary topical treatment.
