For now, feel free to treat it as if it is lice. Get a nit-picking comb and learn how to use it via a video like this.
You also might choose to use a medicated lice treatment. The medicated treatment alone is NOT enough. It usually kills the adult lice, but any remaining nits (eggs) who survive and don't also get removed can hatch. Once they hatch, they can reproduce. So the medicated treatment can be good to get most of the adults, so they stop reproducing (or get seriously slowed down), but you'll need to continue picking out the nits for a while. Its very difficult to ensure that you've gotten them all at once, because they are so tiny. That's why you have to check daily for about a week and do the nit combing, and then when you don't see any for a day or two, start checking every other day, then every few days, then every few weeks.
If you're also looking for preventative treatment - two pronged approach. First, lice love CLEAN hair. They do not like dirty hair. So don't think of this as a cleanliness problem. Its not. If you're washing your daughter's hair every day, I'd stop. 2-3x per week is more than enough. That doesn't mean you can't get her hair wet, because I understand kids get crap in their hair that needs to be washed out, but limit the shampoo usage. Second, tea tree oil. Lice don't like it. Dilute it in a spray with water, or in the shampoo.
