What causes head lice?

The most common cause of head lice is head-to-head. Lice are incapable of jumping or flying and are only able to crawl from the head of one person to another when they press in close contact.

Head lice can also crawl onto objects that could come in contact with a person’s head, and therefore spread from an infested head to one without any infestation. These objects could be hats, scarves, coats, hair accessories, brushes, combs, and towels. Head lice are also contracted by placing or resting your head on any surface, such as a couch, chair, bed, pillow, or rug that has just been used by a person with head lice.
