DO lice cause dandruff?

I never had dandruff before but now its INSANE! I got a haircut today and its still the same.... I'm wondering if lice cause it. I even have a nickname in school from it "Snowy"!if I touch my hair bout 50 flakes come out.

  • Lice do not cause dandruff...those are totally different...since winter is coming around dandruff becomes a little more serious due to the dry weather...Just buy a shampoo just for dandruff and wash your hair a few times a day and it will help...

  • No dandruf does not cuase lice, lice are transfered from one person to the next by touching something or someone that had the bug on it, or cuased by not washing your hair! Acullay your wrong if you had lice and you did not treat everything you could get re-infestation, you need to have some one you trust really check your hair, combs avaialbel at most stores that you can use, I would suggest a school nurse or Dr, if you do have lice you will need to treat your hair, wash all your clothing bedding, pillows in hot water and dry them in hot setting, also you will need to bag any stuffed animals and misc that could possibly have lice on them, close the bags and leave them in sun for a couple of days to kill lice. I don't belive ammonia will effect the lice if they are present, it's good to have a nice clean area however, but the ammonia might affect your skin it could be cuasing your dandrif! SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION!

  • Lice and dandruff are completely different. One will not cause the other. Try using head and shoulders dandruff shampoo.
