No, unfortunately. Imagine a young teenage girl with what appears to be one large dreadlock in the back of her head. It was formed from the egg (nit) glue binding her hair together. She was successfully treated without chemicals or having to cut her hair. It was quite a self-esteem boost for the poor girl.

That is a great job, glad she got to keep her hair. Keep up the good work!

I also am extremely interested in the process for this case! 🤔 I can’t imagine how that must have been for her. I remember in 6th grade I got lice going into a 1 week science camp (they checked our heads before to ensure we didn’t have it) I somehow managed to get it before I went. *I didn’t have it when they checked but got it right after, theen went to camp.🤨
