Bug found in my friends hair. What is it?

Can you upload a clear photo of the bug you found in your friend’s hair? 🔍 I can help identify what it might be.

In the meantime, here are some possibilities:

3. Flea or another small insect

Less typical in human scalp hair. A close-up photo can help distinguish it.

Two quick questions:

  • Was the bug moving or crawling?

  • What color was it — black, brown, white, or reddish?

Upload a photo if possible, and I’ll help narrow it down.
