Final Answer :

Explanation :
Avoidance of sun exposure is not an effective treatment for head lice. Treatments for head lice typically involve topical insecticides like permethrin, physical removal of lice and eggs, and cleaning items to prevent re-infestation. Sun exposure does not impact head lice.
