You may want to soak your lice-infested hair brushes in bleach to kill off the pests present on it, but I'd assume that you'd achieve just as effective a result by using boiling water.
Does bleach kill lice on brushes?
Soaking your brushes in a container of bleach will most likely take care of the lice on your brush.
However, a simpler way would be to boil the kettle, and let your brushes soak in some very hot water.
Although lice are well-known for being one of the toughest and most resilient creatures on the planet, even they would find it impossible to survive a swim in water that exceeds 100 degrees Celsius.
Getting the lice off your hairbrush
This method will also destroy any lice eggs hiding on your brush, and is a good way to prevent re-infestation.
Interestingly, whilst lice can be wiped out using extreme heat, freezing temperatures don't faze this powerful little pest. Lice are one of the few insects on earth that could survive sub-zero temperatures!
