Yes and no ; some times. =)
It depends on what peroxide you're using. If you're using the peroxide you get in the brown bottle at wal-mart for 50 cents then no. But if you're talking about the peroxide that lightens your hair - yes. If you're going to get rid of head lice using the peroxide route try a 20 volume peroxide. This will lighten your hair 1-2 shades (with no bleaching powder!) and kill all lice and nits. You could use a 30 volume if you wanted lighter hair or if you were crazy about getting the lice out, however Do not EVER EVER EVER put 40 volume peroxide directly on your scalp. It will burn your hair off.

Will color and 20 volume peroxide mixed together kill lice and nits?
Color and 20 volume peroxide may have some effectiveness against lice due to the oxidative properties of hydrogen peroxide, but they are not reliable or recommended treatments. Lice and their eggs (nits) can be quite resilient, and using hair dye or peroxide may not effectively eliminate them. It's advisable to use specifically formulated lice treatments that are proven to kill lice and nits. Always consult a healthcare professional for proper guidance on lice removal.

Always consult a healthcare professional for the best treatment options.
Do topical lice treatments kill unhatched lice eggs?
Topical lice treatments are generally designed to kill live lice but may not effectively eliminate unhatched lice eggs (nits).

To effectively manage lice infestations, it's important to combine treatment with thorough combing to remove nits and follow up with additional treatments as recommended.
