It is a medieval recipe for hair care. The Boswellia powder is dusted into the hair roots like a dry shampoo. (they sometimes added corn-starch or fine flour to bulk it out a bit because boswellia powder is expensive). A pinch or three of pure boswellia works for most hair (Super curly hair might need more).

the ends are treated with oil-coverd fingers, to smooth down the dry sticky out bits and prevent tangles breaking the hair.

Then, one needs a variety of combs and brushes. Get rid of obvious tangles with oiled fingers, then take a wide toothed comb (wood , bone preferred) to make it knot free. Then use a boar-bristle brush to brush a shine onto all the hair. This part is really nice it is remarkable how it improves the texture over time.

You head will be clean, and shiny.

Also, shampoo is horrible - every time you do it, you strip life out of your hair, as is conditioner, which has pore clogging minerals in it, that you wouldn't even want in your clothing let alone your hair.

But one needs to be able to remove the scuzz on one's scalp, so most people can't give up the habit.
