How tiny are we talking?

We're talking about tiny - and nearly impossible to see in your hair. That's what make lice - and their newly hatched nymphs - so hard to find.

Compare the grains of sand (the little black dots taken from an actual client's hair) to the tiny nymph that would be invisible to the naked eye. Only against the white paper towel (and enlarged many times by camera) does it become clear that this person has an active case of lice. Without removing every single louse (and their nits), this infestation would continue to increase.

If you wonder if it's lice and are not sure, it's best to consult with a professional.
