Best Answer

your head itches
The first sign to look for is an itchy scalp. The second sign is if you see something that looks like dandruff & it doesn't come off easily, it could be lice or a lice egg that hasn't hatched yet. But sometimes you can have lice & you don't have any symptoms. Lice is sometimes mistaken for dandruff. Lice eggs are light or dark, depending on how light or dark your hair is. The only way to know for sure that you have lice, is to check.

to be honest I do not know. But all I know is that it may be bad, for your hair and the lice will not go away. But if it does then problem solved. But if they come back 2-3 weeks later from the eggs that were in your hair then you will have to use lice treaments
