In Mexico, the act of lightly running your fingertips across someone's head in slow, relaxing strokes. The name comes from mimicking a lice check, but the real effect is pure comfort and calm. Asking someone for piojito is a sign of total trust and closeness.
“Hey, can you do piojito on my head? I'm exhausted.”
“My mom used to do piojito when I was a kid and I'd fall asleep within two minutes.”
