I wonder what Martians would make of them?

Over here they are known as Schlappohr-Spiegel (lop ear mirrors)

Like a floppy bunny ear I suppose. I am sure they are really upside down tusks. Hopefully not made of ivory :o

Do (esp. head) lice need no oxygen to live?
If they do, why is it not the easiest way to get rid of lice by taking an extended bath and wearing an airtight hat?
The eggs are of course a different problem but should only require a repeat of the above procedure.

Not a truly informed answer but I suspect that a) even while submerged tiny bubbles still remain in the hair, b) some insects are known to enter a kind of hibernation state under critical conditions, c) some birds that dive have lice (although less than non diving birds), and d) the eggs might be the key reason:
Quote from: WikipediaMany lice attach their eggs to their host's hair with specialized saliva; the saliva/hair bond is very difficult to sever without specialized products.

But what about the airtight hat (maybe flooded with helium*)?

An egg takes 8-10 days to hatch, for how long do you plan to put a head in a helium atmosphere?  :o

Well, how long does an adult survive? (That's the original question)
Putting the hat on for slightly longer than that should remove the living samples. The interval between different hat sessions must be smaller than the time between hatching and eggdeposition of the hatchling. It should not be necessary to play the game longer than a bit above 1 incubation period.

Besides, an helium filled hat would make you lightheaded...  ;) :P

But what if the helium leaked? That would be cool. *speaks in a squeaky voice*

Low chance unless you carry your head upside down. Otherwise the helium will dissipate upwards.
