• STEP 4: Remember that stress, lack of protein, medication, hormones,
pregnancy, disease and poor hair hygiene contribute to hair loss.
• STEP 5: Be wary of products claiming to stop hair loss; results vary widely.
• STEP 6: Sudden, smooth, round bald spots on scalp or beard are called alopecia
areata. Wait for them to disappear (usually 6 to 12 months) or visit a
dermatologist for treatment.

Head lice

Instructions

• STEP 1: Cover your work area with towels to prevent contamination of
upholstery or carpets.
• STEP 2: Working under bright light, partition hair into sections and comb
through hair with a fine-tooth comb (ideally a lice comb, available at drugstores).
Remove lice (reddish-brown) and nits (white or clear) as you comb. Use
mayonnaise to smother lice and nits while you comb. Repeat combings for two
weeks.
• STEP 3: Boil the comb after you use it to sanitize it for future use.
• STEP 4: Wash towels, sheets, pillowcases, hats and other contaminated clothing
in the washer with hot water. Use a hot setting to dry the items in the dryer.
Vacuum contaminated fabric, upholstery or carpeting.
• STEP 5: Use an anti-lice shampoo if you prefer, but remember that these
products contain pesticides. Consult your doctor before using anti-lice products if
you are pregnant, allergic or have pre-existing medical conditions. Avoid
treatments containing lindane, which has caused neurological damage in children.

compensate for their hair loss by growing what hair they have as long as they can or,
even worse, resorting to the dreaded “comb over.” However, going bald doesn’t have to
mean a lifetime of bad hairstyles.
