How do you get head lice?

You get head lice generally by direct contact with another person with head lice. Head lice don't jump as is believed; they walk. It is possible to get them from the backs of a chair, or other things where someone has been there, if their head has been their before you, but usually not long before you. Generally speaking, it is head to head contact, or hats, or sharing brushes - that sort of thing. That is the usual way that head lice are transferred.
