Lice in the City
In Chicago we recently had a group of 4 friends come into
Hair Fairies with their children. Turns out that these moms were all childhood
friends and continued to stay friends throughout the years. One
of the children was itchy, and his
mom was frantic. She said “If my child has head lice, so will my
friends. We are
always together!!” Everyone was screened. All together Hair Fairies
screened 12 members from this group for head lice at Hair Fairies
Chicago Lice treatment salon. No one
had it. Wow… false alarm!! Our lice technicians had the most wonderful
time. We
heard the most funniest stories about how they grew up together and the
adventures of motherhood. By listening to their stories, we realized
that if
one person in this circle of friends did in fact contract head lice,
they ALL
would have head lice because they are so close and they share
everything.
Unfortunately, this is how people get head lice. Lice do not
jump or fly. They crawl from one person to another when there is head to
head contact. Think about it…telling a secret, taking a picture, and hugs.
Those are all ways of giving the gift of lice to one another. And the cycle
continues…
Identifying who has head lice in
your circle is KEY to prevention
and catching it early. Just remember in those times of doubt, Hair
Fairies the Head Lice Helpers offers free head lice
screenings once a month. If you can't make it in , the screenings are
set at the phenomenally low price of $30. They are both well worth your
peace of mind. Hair Fairies has lice treatment salons in Chicago, San
Diego, San Francisco,
Connecticut, LosAngeles and NYC.
