Cleaning nits (head lice eggs) from hair can be a meticulous process, but here's a general guide:

1. **Use a Fine-Tooth Comb**: Purchase a fine-tooth comb specifically designed for removing lice and nits. You can find these at most pharmacies. Comb through small sections of the hair, starting at the scalp and working your way down to the ends. Wipe the comb on a paper towel after each pass to remove any caught nits or lice.

2. **Wet Combing**: Wetting the hair can make it easier to comb through and remove nits. Apply conditioner to the hair and use the fine-tooth comb to comb through the hair, section by section. The conditioner can help loosen the nits and make them easier to remove.

3. **Repeat Regularly**: Nit removal is a process that may need to be repeated several times to ensure all eggs are removed. Aim to comb through the hair every few days for at least two weeks to catch any newly hatched lice and remove any missed nits.

4. **Dispose of Nits Properly**: After combing, dispose of any nits you remove properly. You can either flush them down the toilet or seal them in a plastic bag and throw them away.

5. **Wash Bedding and Clothing**: Wash any bedding, clothing, hats, or other items that may have come into contact with the infested person's hair in hot water. This can help kill any remaining lice or nits.

6. **Vacuum**: Vacuum carpets, upholstery, and car seats to remove any lice or nits that may have fallen off the infested person's head.

7. **Prevent Reinfestation**: Encourage the infested person not to share hats, brushes, or other personal items until the infestation has been fully treated. Notify close contacts so they can check for signs of lice and take appropriate action if necessary.

If you're finding it difficult to remove nits on your own, you may want to consult a healthcare professional or a lice removal specialist for additional assistance.
