Can lice survive if the hair is washed daily with shampoo?

Washing hair daily wont help remove head lice from an individual. Head lice have six legs with claws, which are used to grasp the hair shaft. The only time they release their grip of the hair follicle is when they are injured or are in the process of dying. head lice are also capable of holding their breath for up to 8 hours, therefore making them capable of withstanding submersion under water for extended period of time.
