Head lice have been causing itchy heads for quite a while. The world’s oldest known case of head lice (actual nits discovered on a human head) were found at an archaeological dig in northeast Brazil, the specimen was at least 10,000 years old. Lice have also been discovered in Israel dating back 2000 years. At Hair Fairies we get a lot of parents who come in because their school has sent out lice alert letters. Those lice alert letters would bemuse our fairly recent ancestors, for whom lice were simply constant companions until about the 19th century. Head Lice have been with us for as long as we can remember and for now it looks like they aren’t going anywhere. But with the help of Hair Fairies we can make the process as quick and painless as possible.
