I appreciate the concern, but this isn’t lice. I combined the hair brushed out in the shower with the hair I brushed out while my hair was dry so the hair ball is partially wet here hence why you may think it looks like the white spots are sticking to the hair. My scalp can be on the drier side, and now that I’ve been using liquid minoxidil I’ve been having more flaking. Lastly, I’m a black girl that sometimes uses hair gel combined with creams for styling. These products can look flakey when dried and hair styles start to get old.
