What is the cause of head lice?
Head lice are caused by direct contact with someone who has them. Because children are most likely to have direct contact with each other, they are most at risk of having a head lice infestation. Head lice can also spread by certain items being shared. These include:
- Hats
- Scarves
- Combs
- Brushes
- Headphones
- Upholstery furniture
- Towels
- Pillows
Despite what some may believe, head lice are not more likely to occur because of dirty hair or poor hygiene.

How should Hedrin Once Spray Gel be used?
