The idea that head lice only infect people with poor hygene (dirty hair, etc.) is a complete myth. Lice don't care how clean, or dirty, your head is; only that you have hair.
Transmission of head lice comes often from sharing clothing (particularly hats and scarves), sharing bedding, or sharing hairdressing tools or accessories (brushes, barrettes, etc.). Basically anything that makes contact with an infected person, especially with their hair, becomes a way for head lice to transfer themselves to another person.
The best method for prevention of head lice is not by maintaining good personal hygene (though it couldn't hurt), but simply by not sharing things that can transmit the lice with other people.
