Anyone who has hair on their head can get head lice. It sounds like a funny way of saying things, but head lice only survive on our heads and need hair to grasp onto in addition to sucking blood from the skin of our scalps.

So, anyone who comes in contact with another person who has head lice can conceivably get them.
