My daughter has nits. There attached to her hair around the neck, sides of her head, and in the middle of her scalp. They are white and black. There easy to see if you look closely. But i have also found in the past 3 months, 3 bigger bugs. They are a much bigger then the nits but they are deep in her hair. They look like they have pinchers and they have a body like a rolly polly only pointy at the end where the but would be. they are bug because they crawl around on my finger when i find them. They have been black and brown. I don't know what to do! If you know what these bugs are please help me.
Nits and some other bigger bug on my daughters hair!!!?
I know a few people who have tried rubbing mayonnaise in the scalp and covering with a shower cap overnight. It's a lot easier to wash out in the morning than petroleum jelly and works just as well.
You have to get rid of all the nits on the hair shafts to prevent a reinfestation; use a bright light, a magnifying glass and metal (nit/flea) comb.

The nits are head lice eggs no doubt but the other ones I have no idea. I have never heard of any other bugs occupying the head other than head lice. You need to take her to the Dr. to get them analyzed.

sounds like the bigger bugs are bigger nits. Nits are an absolute nightmare mainly because you can do the right thing but others at school don't and you get it all over again. I used to treat my daughter and son once a week with a 'product' and then after combing etc, do it every 2 days with conditioner (cheap brand fine) onto dry hair with the comb. Doesn't kill them but stuns them for about 20 mins. After a few weeks on 'a product' I would change to a different product. Make sure the base ingredient is not the same ie : some are pyrethrins and some are (something else) make sure you swap them around because the little nit buggers can get 'immune' to products......good luck! and when you are nit free put hairspray or gel or something in your kids hair (nits hate it)

hi
Yuk nits are terrible and so easy for kids to pick up regardless of how clean their hair is. all parents go through what you are going through. One of the delights of parenthood
The nits on the hair shafts are the eggs. The bugs you see are the adult head lice. Best to use proper nit product and a fine tooth metal comb to remove the eggs that adhere to the har shaft. All bed clothing should be treated as infectious.
good luck
