I think that sounds about right but I'm not that good at math lol. I use one tsp to just under 300 ml of water which I think is approx 10 oz.

It sounds like your on the right track, let us know how it goes next time when you let it dry.

I also noticed Ktani is back and she is the best person to help. Shes the one who helped me get my catnip dilution right :)

I have been very happy with my catnip usage. It really helps my hair feel great. I am stuggling right now with just about everything I have used to shampoo my hair and I think Im going to try C-CO-C which is catnip-CO-catnip. I think this might just do the trick! I'll keep you posted.

I did my first catnip rinse today! My hair is drying in little braids at the moment, so i'll have to wait for the results, although i suppose it will take a few times before i notice anything.

I hope this is the end of my (numerous) split ends...

I used a leave-in afterwards (shea butter+conditioner+coconut oil). Do most of you generally do that or let you hair dry with nothing in it?

pocahonta_s, I generally leave my hair to dry alone after using catnip. I do oil a bit before my next wash or in between washes sometimes only if my ends feel very dry. I can only speak for me though :)

Conditioner may block the catnip tea from penetrating, I usually soak mine in clean, unconditioned hair. The catnip tea is the conditioning.

I'm doing my second catnip soak tonight with the same dilution as before, but I'm not going to use the conditioner afterward.

I have read this entire thread! :thud:
My hair is dry and fairly fragile and splits like mad, while my skin is sensitive and overreacts to oil, so conditioners are dicey. Catnip sounds like a wonder-drug, practically.

I've got some on order and am all but camped out at the mailbox with impatience. I'll let you know how it works.

Does anyone here use both indian herbs and catnip?

So out of curiousity, how does catnip work on split ends? I mean like down to the nitty gritty how it works.
