How soon after coming in contact with someone with lice does your head start itching?
This is what I can tell you from my expert experience. Your head may itch only after you have had head to head contact,or shared brushes, hats or combs with someone with head lice. This is how head lice is passed. They don't fly or jump but they do crawl Fast!! If your head itches and you have been in close contact with someone with lice you may need to call an expert. My Hair Helpers is trained to help detect head lice. Don't wait until you have a full infestation to call an expert!
