The truth? Head lice love Christmas all those hugs, shared hats, and close family photos create the perfect environment for lice to move from head to head.
So before your little elves try on another Christmas sweater, here are our Top 10 Christmas DONโTs to keep the chills outside, not in your hair. ๐
๐ 1. Donโt try on shared Santa hats or holiday accessories.
Bring your own festive gear or use a disposable shower cap to protect your hair. Lice can easily travel on shared hats and headbands.
๐ 2. Donโt share Christmas crowns, tiaras, or elf hats.
Even if itโs just for a few seconds. Lice move faster than you think, so keep holiday accessories personal.
๐ 3. Donโt forget to tie long hair back.
Simple braids or buns can stop lice from crossing from one head to another, keeping the holidays fun and not itchy.
๐งด 4. Donโt share combs, brushes, or hair tools during Christmas prep.
Keep everyoneโs hair tools separate. Labeling with names can save time and prevent lice from spreading.
๐ 5. Donโt reuse Christmas costumes or hats from last year without cleaning.
Lice may not survive long off a head, but itโs safer to wash or seal costume pieces before wearing them again.
๐ฟ 6. Do spritz a peppermint or tea tree oil repellent before parties.
Lice dislike the strong scents of peppermint and tea tree oil. You'll smell like Christmas cheer and be pest-free!
๐ฆธโโ๏ธ 7. Do a quick lice check after big family gatherings.
A quick comb-through of damp hair under good lighting can catch early signs before lice have a chance to spread.
๐งผ 8. Do stay calm if you spot something suspicious.
Donโt panic! Let us help you confirm what youโve found and guide you through the process to resolve it.
๐ 9. Do bag up costumes and hats after wearing.
Seal any shared items overnight, and wash washable pieces in hot water or use high heat to ensure pests are eliminated.
โ๏ธ 10. Do contact us if you're unsure.
Send us a photo of what youโve found, and weโll help you figure out whatโs going on.
๐ฏ๏ธ Final Tip: Keep the holiday frights fun, not itchy!
Lice can't jump, fly, or live long off a human host, but they can spread through shared accessories and close selfies. If you find something suspicious after your Christmas gatherings, give us a call, and weโll take care of the rest.
