The only way to remove them is to use a special comb, called a "nit comb". You can get this at any drug store, or in the health and beauty section of any department or discount store. The comb has fine teeth in it, that pulls the nits from the hair as you comb through it. But it may take several attempts to remove the nits, and if there are a lot, and if your hair is very long, you may even have to cut your hair to get rid of all of them.
