Yes, combing for head lice is also an important part of controlling head lice. But you need to kill lice first to get best results and to prevent future recurrence. It is advised to use a specialized lice comb to ensure complete removal. But, Combing can take some time depending on the hair. Girls with long thick hair will need some patience as combing will take a while. Short or thin hair will usually be a much quicker process. The hair should be divided into 4 cm sections and, using the teeth of the comb, run the comb from the root of the hair to the tip. After every comb wipe off the head lice and eggs on to a tissue and repeat until every strand of hair has been combed.

Lice are oval in shape and 0.5 -1 mm in length. They usually appear white, brown, or dark gray clear and remain attached to the hair strands. You can see them with your naked eye and it usually helps to spot them properly while removing them by comb.

Conversely, while lice are not common in dogs and cats, the species of lice that live on dogs and cats are not able to live on humans .
