∙ 7y agoFirst of all bed bugs have no interest in living on you what so ever, a bed bug will even avoid crawling onto you only in search of a blood meal and once it has fed which can take from 5 - 15 minutes it will retreat back in to it's hiding place, In my experience with bed bugs it is seldom that i find victims with bed bug bites on heavily haired heads, but i have seen a few. The bed bug is searching for a easy access area of skin to feed and may crawl over hair to get to it but again it does not want to live in the hair.
Yes, Bed Bug's can live in your hair but this only occurs in extremely infested locations. Checking your hair may help you feel better but bed bugs are no indication of hygiene or cleanliness. The parasite that lives in hair is called the head louse (plural is lice).
Bed bugs hide in cracks and crevasses that they find in a person's house, typically in the areas most occupied by people such as bed s and seats. Most commonly within 3 feet of a person.
