it would be a good idea but you don't have to, the lice/nits live in the roots of your hair so they wouldn't be on your towels,, only if you put them there, and in fact if they were on your towels thy would die after 2 days as they need human blood to live!! i hope i answered your question

Putting your linens, or whatever other infected fabrics, through the high-heat cycle of your dryer will kill off any lice or nits that are on them.
