You can get rid of lice on your head and in your home only to have it crawl back onto you or your child at daycare, school, or the gym. These tips can help keep lice away:
Avoid head-to-head and hair-to-hair contact. This is the way head lice most commonly spread.
Don’t share hats, scarves, hoodies, or other clothing.
Don’t share hair ribbons, barrettes, combs, brushes, or towels.
Don’t share beds, sofas, rugs, pillows, or stuffed animals with someone who has or recently had lice.
