We all know that lice is a pain! Lots of laundry, lots of cleaning, too much to do in very little time! So what gives? Why does head lice exists? This week a client asked to no one in particular: what is the purpose of head lice?? She was at her wits end with these pesky bugs and had lost her patience. A client sitting across from her, who was also dealing with the bugs responded with the following: “Having three kids means head lice has come into my house a few times, I’ve learned that it is not the worst thing that can happen. There are far worse things that can be happening, illness, finances, loss, the list can go on and on. Head lice has never come at a convenient time, but it teaches you about patience, team work, gratitude for the help you receive, it teaches you tolerance, and it humbles you!” Our impatient client really took those words and let them sit for a few minutes when she realized that these annoying little bugs were being taken care of and she (like many others) was going to be O.K. At the end of the day, nobody WANTS to get head lice, but if you do, there are several valuable lessons you can learn from the experience. Although we hope you never contract head lice, Hair Fairies is always going to be here to help you and your loved ones through it all!
