Did you know that head lice are tiny engineers? They don't just lay eggs anywhere—they lay them for survival.
The Incubation Rule:
Lice lay their newest eggs (nits) less than 1/4 inch from the scalp. Why? Because they need the consistent warmth of your head to incubate and hatch. Without that body heat, the egg won't survive.
The "Timeline" Effect:
As your hair grows (about 1/2 inch per month), that "old" egg moves further away from the scalp. This creates "open real estate" closer to the skin, allowing the louse to lay another egg on the same strand.
Extreme Infestations:
In severe cases that have gone untreated for weeks or months, you’ll see multiple nits stacked along a single hair strand. This is a clear sign that the cycle has been repeating for a long time.
Don't let the cycle continue. Once they start "stacking," the population is exploding.
