Your head would still be itchy after a lice treatment, because what itches is the place where they have bitten you. Even after the treatment kills the lice, the bites are still there and will take a little time to stop itching. Like mosquito bites still itch after the mosquito is gone. It will pass.

lice are tiny black bugs . dandruff is white, it's just dry skin.

Dandruff is larger and flaky it falls out if you shake your head or it gets in your brush or comb. lice stick like glue you need a special fine tooth comb to even see them and move them out.
