Bug found in my friends hair. What is it?

Okay, deep breath 😅 — without seeing it, nobody can honestly confirm it’s the L-word. Hair bugs get misidentified all the time.

Here’s some calm reality first 👇
Most things people find in hair are NOT lice. Common impostors:

• Ant / baby ant – super common, especially if outside or near food

• Spider / mite – can wander into hair accidentally

• Flea – jumps, doesn’t live in hair

• Bed bug nymph – very rare in hair, usually on clothes/skin

• Lint / seed / debris – panic classic
