Can Bald Men With Beards Get Head Lice

TL;DR

Bald men with beards can get head lice in their beard hair. Lice need hair to live — they'll attach to beard hair if it's long enough. Treat the same way: silicone- or oil-based products or wet combing.

Where can head lice turn up, other than in the hair?

Head lice prefer the scalp but can live in any hair on the head — including beards, moustaches, and eyebrows. They need hair to attach eggs and move around.

How to deal with head lice in a beard?

Apply the same treatment to the beard: silicone- or oil-based product or wet combing. Use a fine comb through the beard. Repeat after 7–10 days. Not sure? Check first. For hands-on help, find a clinic near you.
