Summary
To many, nothing is grosser than having lice in their hair. A live infestation means not bugs in the hair, but also bug eggs! Still, there are many other microscopic organisms potentially making a habitat in your hair. Readers are guided through the biology of hair as well as ways it can be used as a home to bacteria, bugs, and more, by a team of friendly narrators. A colorful layout and simple diagrams appeal to young, curious minds and the accessible science content keeps them engaged.
