The heat from hairdryers do actually kill off lice.

You will however not be able to kill off them all without damaging your hair and your scalp in the process.

Conditioner and a lice comb is much better.

You can also get shampoo that kills off the lice.

The shampoo should be used 2-3 times with a week in between. This to make sure newly hatched lice are killed off too.

You will burn your skin before you kill the nits. Get a lice killing shampoo such as made by Rid, launder your clothes and bed linen, boil your combs and brushes and follow up the treatment as recommended on the shampoo directions.

It won't kill them but like with almost any other bug, the heat will help the eggs hatch.

No, it won't get hot enough and if it did it would scorch your hair and scalp.

You need insecticide to kill lice.

How should you do your hair for school?

For starters you don't want to have boring hair so you could try doing your hair in braid or a plait bun( do just a normal plait in a ponytail then wrap it a round into a bun) you could also try straightening it or blow drying it and leaving it out ( if your hair is long and there is a case of head lice going around i wouldn't leave it out but its your choice) i hoped i helped.
