If you are constantly exposed to pollution or if your diet is not nutrient-rich, it is not just your health that takes a toll; the effects are also visible on your hair, in the form of dandruff and hair loss. Meanwhile, people also sometimes suffer from head lice infestations, which are often caused by direct contact with these insects.

But, is there a simple solution with which you can get rid of all three problems: hairfall, dandruff, and lice? According to hair expert Jawed Habib, there is. In an Instagram post shared on September 21, he shared a simple hair mask solution that he also uses on his customers. It includes only two ingredients: camphor and coconut oil.

Sharing the recipe for the mask and detailing the steps to apply it, Jawed Habib wrote in the caption, “This mask will work on dandruff, hairfall, lice…Mix kapur (camphor) + coconut oil, apply to hair roots and shampoo after 15 minutes.”

According to the hair expert, this mask is most effective in addressing dandruff, hair loss, and lice issues. To make the mask, he took a camphor ball and added it to a small amount of coconut oil, then he mixed the solution and applied a generous amount of oil directly on the scalp, where these issues generally persist.

How to make the mask?

After the application, Jawed Habib provided details in the video about the process for removing the mask. He suggested keeping the mask on for approximately 10 to 15 minutes and then washing it with any regular shampoo. “Your scalp will be clean,” he guaranteed.

When asked about the quantity of camphor and oil to make the mask in the comments, the hair expert suggested using half a spoon of camphor with two spoons of coconut oil. You can also use the kapur or camphor used for puja rituals in desi households. Additionally, instead of applying the mask overnight, he suggested using it 10 minutes before washing and once a week.
