I’ve been told that the reason we don’t get lice is that lice can’t grip our hair because of the oil. I went to high school with a girl who was of the Indian (from India) culture, and her family used olive oil (sparingly, of course) in their hair. My guess is that they didn’t get lice, either. Whatever the reason, I’m glad we don’t have to deal with it.
