Straightening your hair will kill most of the eggs, but probably wont kill the actual bugs. This is because the bugs are on your actual scalps, which you can't reach with a hair straightener. But the eggs are on the hair shaft, which you can reach with the straightener. The straightener burns the eggs to death.

well it doesn't kill the lice, but it burns them and kills eggs. sometimes it will kill them if you go really slow otherwise you are just burning them. It also helps if you have a high temperature straightener. For example i have the infinity pro by con-air and it really works. it goes up to 455 degrees. also if you are going to kill the lice/eggs using a straightener follow theses steps:

1) turn the straightener up to the highest degree

2) wait for it to warm up( it gets it so you don't take forever, it normally take around 10 minutes)

3) start at the roots of your hair, go SLOW and work your way down

4) if that doesn't work call your doctor or something to get it checked out

hope it works

Im sorry to say but no, i do my sisters hair and the best way to get rid of the eggs is to use Anti-Dandruff shampoo, it slides them away in a few washes, but straigning does heal the process quicker haha . :)

Can hair food kill lice?

Hair Food is, as far as I can tell, the brand name of a hair care product by Jell Pharma. It's not designed to kill lice; if it really could do this and could keep them from returning, then I feel certain they'd advertise the fact on their website. It's possible that it could kill lice by smothering them, but this certainly wouldn't be a lasting solution; nowhere near as effective as real lice treatments like RID and similar products.
