Head lice prevention is considerably easier and more pleasant for both children and parents if you stick to a healthy regimen that will reduce your child's chances of becoming infected. Keep your hair clean and wash it carefully. Make sure the 'hair-to-hair' contact is minimal. Do not share towels, caps, hats, combs, sweaters, headbands, headphones, scarves, hoodies, coats, and so on. Keep hairbrushes separate for each child. Keep your hair tied up.
