No. You have to buy special shampoo that kills the nits.

Um lice yes ? your stupid use NIX or something you can get lice by sharing or using anything that’s fabric that people have used before or could have.
Being sweaty or oily isn’t going to kill lice or bedbugs – or even discourage them! After all, for most of history, people have usually been sweaty and oily; bathing was pretty rare.
And yes, you could catch lice or bed bugs from trying on a hat or clothes, though it probably doesn’t happen that often.
a great home remedy for lice is LISTERINE mouthwash on your head. soak your hair in it and put a shower cap on overnight. it will kill everything. use the original kind, not the mint (sugar in the mint mouthwash makes your hair sticky) then wash it out the next day. but you SHOULD buy lice spray to spray your pillow and bedding.
sweating or letting your hair get greasy doesn’t help. yes, you can catch lice from trying a hat on in a store if someone with a massive amount of bugs had tried it on before.
Sweating doesnt help. A few ways to get rid of lice are spray, listerine, lice sampoo, and if all else fails your could cut your hair short and try all those again.
Also, trying on hats CAN give you headlice.
