Can Adults Get Lice? Here’s What You Need to Know

Introduction

Lice don't play favorites—kids or grown-ups can end up with these tiny pests. At Hair Wizards Salon in Encino, we help adults with professional lice screening, safe removal, and prevention advice. If you've ever wondered whether lice really stick to adults too, you're in the right place.

1. Adults Can—and Often Do—Get Head Lice

Adults are absolutely susceptible to head lice. In fact, we see that most grown-ups contract them from children in their household. Lice don’t care about hair length, cleanliness, or age—they creep from scalp to scalp, plain and simple.

2. Professional Screening and Treatment for Adults

At Hair Wizards Salon, adult clients receive the same expert care we give little ones. We provide a 15-minute lice screening—detailed and gentle, so nothing gets missed. If lice are spotted, our skilled staff applies an enzyme-based, non-toxic treatment, immobilizing lice and removing them safely in about 45 minutes to an hour. You’ll walk out lice-free—no harsh chemicals, no hassle.

3. Tougher Than Store-Bought: Why Our Approach Works Better

Over-the-counter remedies often rely on pesticides that lice may resist—and they might not remove nits fully. At Hair Wizards, our enzyme-based formula breaks down lice and eggs naturally, without harsh chemicals. That makes it safe for adults, effective against resistant lice, and kinder to sensitive scalps.

4. Clearing Your Home—and Your Mind—with Local Expertise

Still worried about reinfestation? Lice can hide briefly on clothes or bedding (up to five days), but they won’t survive long off the head. We’ll walk you through practical cleaning steps—like laundering linens and treating personal items—not endless fumigation. And because we’re part of the Encino community, we stay in tune with local trends in lice cases and school-related spikes.
