Many people have lice in their hair. The lice either comes from other people or from water or some other carrier.
But they cause itching and are destructive for the scalp. They lay eggs and that increases the growth of lice. They are parasites.
Children are affected more than others. They get the lice from head to head contact in the school from friends.
There are thin combs which if used properly can bring the lice out. Isopropyl alcohol kills lice but when applied in hair they make the hair dry.

Yes because they suck blood from the scalp.

Yes Slayer, rice reduces hair growth, more than that they eat into the scalp and the scalp can bleed also.

@cacay1 Thanks Erly for the comments. Yes students are helpless. Their parents should make effort to get the lice out of the head.

Thanks Saba for the comments. I also never had lice in my hair. But I know of many friends of mine who had them in their school days.
