Head Lice are tiny reddish brown insects about the size of a sesame seed. Visible Nits (lice eggs) are tiny, whitish ovals. They are firmly glued to the hair shaft, most often near the scalp. Nits may be mistaken for dandruff but unlike dandruff, nits cannot be brushed off or removed by normal shampooing and washing.
