Accurate Results You Can Trust

Our photo checker analyses hair and scalp images to give you a clear indication of what you're dealing with.

Active Lice Detected

Our checker identified live lice near the scalp. Professional treatment is recommended for fast, effective removal.

Likely Dandruff

The flakes appear to be dandruff, not nits. Dandruff flakes move easily and aren't cemented to the hair shaft.

Scalp Psoriasis

Scalp psoriasis can look similar to dandruff or nits — silvery or red, scaly patches. We distinguish it from lice; see a GP or dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment.

All Clear!

No signs of lice or nits detected. Regular checks help catch any issues early — we recommend weekly combing.
