How diligent should i be in removing nits? how important is it to remove nits from hair?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be diligent!: Nits are the eggs of the head lice. Be diligent in removing as they can be resiliant and all you need is one to hatch and you will have another infestation. So be diligent.
