Regarding this, can a hair straightener kill lice eggs?

The answer is “yes”, but it is only partly true. Head lice indeed can be destroyed by heat. With a hair straightener, you can kill adult head lice located on your hair. But you won't get rid of nits because they lay eggs very close to the scalp.

how do you kill nits? remove dead or live lice with a fine-toothed comb eight to 12 hours after treatment. avoid using regular shampoo one to two days after. continue checking for two to three weeks for nits and lice. soak combs and brushes in boiling water for five to 10 minutes.

Similarly, you may ask, can head lice survive hair dye?

Lice require human blood to survive. They can live as long as 30 days on the scalp. There have been no studies on hair dye's ability to kill lice, but widespread anecdotal evidence suggests that it may eliminate them. However, hair dye doesn't kill nits.

How do you get rid of lice overnight?

Here's one approach: Coat the hair and scalp, cover it overnight with a shower cap, and wash out the next morning. Comb for nits. Repeat the treatment one week later.
