Head lice are commonly thought of in relation to dirty people.
This however is a point of view that is related back to Propaganda and Hitler, his way of defending his views of certain races and certain people being less worth.
However effective this propaganda was, it was still wrong.
Head Lice actually prefer nice and clean hair.
You will of course wash a lot of the lice out every time you clean your hair thoroughly, but you will not be able to get rid of them all.
Dirty hair makes it more difficult for the lice to attach eggs to the hair.
The lice would prefer to go elsewhere :-)
But still. A home is a home. or in other words. Home sweet home.
