Glitter - the New Lice

Had a moment of panic earlier...
I was brushing Lilli's hair after her bath, and saw that her scalp was covered in what looked like fine, black dirt.
My first thought was "OH NO - LICE!!!!"
Then I turned her head and it sparkled a little.
I asked her if her head itched. She said no.
I got out the metal lice comb. No creepy crawlies.
I asked Lilli if she'd used glitter at school. She said yes.
So - either Lilli had a sudden and complete lice infestation, or they used dark, very fine glitter at school today. And she rubbed it all over her head.
