Use a fine comb
Use a fine toothed lice comb after liberally covering the hair with conditioner (it makes it harder for the lice to hang on).
Detangle using a normal comb or brush and then systematically comb through the hair, checking for live lice after each stroke.
Another method is to lean over a white basin or paper and comb hair while still dry - it's easier to spot the lice this way.
It is essential to comb from the scalp to the end of the hair in one motion and clear the comb after each stroke.
This must be repeated every four days.
Don't stop until you have had three consecutive sessions without finding a live louse.
