• Step 2 Check your hair first. If you have long hair , take it down. Run your fingers flat against your scalp and over your entire head. Hold your fingers together and use both hands. Touch the entire surface area of your scalp. Feel for small bumps or objects against your head. It helps to have a partner assist you in the search through your hair, making sure to part the hair in sections while checking thoroughly.
