How big are nits and what are the dots im getting out of your hair now?
Nits are the eggs laid by human head lice Pediculosis capitis. The lice are about a millimeter long (easy to see look in the related link below). I suspect the dots you are finding are the eggs (nits) that are glued to the base of your hair strands. The eggs (nits) are very difficult to remove even after they are dead or have hatched.You need to kill the lice and the eggs using some proprietary topical treatment.
