Lice reproduce through a process called egg-laying. Female lice lay tiny, oval-shaped eggs, known as nits, which they attach firmly to the hair shafts close to the scalp. These eggs hatch into nymphs after about a week, and the nymphs mature into adult lice within a couple of weeks, continuing the cycle. Lice do not give birth to live young; instead, they reproduce by laying eggs.
