The young lice and adults live their entire lives on the head, feeding on blood. The entire life cycle takes about 3 weeks.
Lice Egg Cycle. After mating and consuming a blood meal, the female will gestate for 1 to 2 days and will then lay her eggs where the hair is connected to the scalp. In a little over a week, the nits will hatch, allowing the newly formed nymph to emerge. After another 10 days, the nymphs will have matured into adult lice and begin to feed, grow, and develop until it attains the adult stage about 9 to 12 days after hatching. Once matured, it will be capable of mating with females, who can lay up to 8 nits a day.
