Head lice and nits
Head lice are not a sign of dirty hair, they don't leap or jump from head to head and they don't 'prefer' one type of hair to another. Head lice are tiny grey/brown insects that live on your head and hair feeding off your scalp. They're extremely common and highly contagious, especially in young children. When they hatch, they leave a shell behind, these are called nits. The best and simplest way to get rid of them is 'wet combing' using a nit comb to trap the lice. If in doubt, ask your pharmacist.
