but if her man has dreads there is no combing!!! i actually had this happen to me (work in childcare) and i did have dreads... sad to say but the reality is he will have to get rid of them coz although u can kill the lice u can't comb the eggs out and he will never be rid of them otherwise i combed my dreads out.. in an agonising 30 hours over two days but otherwise it might be shave the head time... sorry to bring such bad news coz if he is anything like i was he loves his dreads
