Head lice are parasites that live in the hair and scalp of humans. The egg sacs or nits are white or yellowish. They are firmly attached to the hair shaft. Nits hatch into nymphs which are immature adult head lice. The adult louse is about the size of a sesame seed. It has six legs since it is an insect and it is tan to greyish- white, but after it eats it looks brown. The nymph looks like a small louse in terms of color.
