Diluted Dairy Whip and catnip work very well for rymorg2.Quote:

I will say that due to my hard water and the tendancy of oils to build up on my hair, I do have to wash with poo once in awhile.....Anywhere from once every 2-4 weeks is normal for me.
Thanks for the response! I never knew I could get so excited about hair products ;>)
Catnip can have that effect on people and so can Dairy Whip.Quote:

I used 1 teaspoon of catnip steeped in 300 mL of water. I only let the catnip sit on my head while I was doing shower stuff, so it probably only stayed on for about 10 minutes. I was able to comb my hair while wet and while dry without any problems. My hair isn't as moisturized as I'm hoping it will be in the future, but it is rather soft and still has some moisture in it. And my hair is not weighed down like it usually is after a conditioner-only wash.
For those wondering, the catnip by itself seemed to clean my hair pretty well. However, I hadn't used cones in quite awhile and I used very little, if any, oil on my hair between today's wash and the previous wash. The hair near my scalp had been greasy, and the catnip took care of that without any problems. I also did not notice any tackiness or stickiness after only using the catnip.
I'll be experimenting a lot with catnip to try to determine what works best for me. I am aware that I may need to increase the length of time that my hair soaks in the catnip, and I may need to occasionally use shampoo or conditioner-only in addition to catnip. I'll keep everyone apprised of my experiments here. :)
Sounds great so far. Yes catnip can remove sebum and does so well. Results may vary though, as some people produce more than others. I am happy with "catnip shampoos" but have not used them only, yet.Quote:

Thank you Ktani for your diligence in maintaining this thread! I just went through most of the thread and found that your careful instructions and responses to questions are extremely helpful! I have just ordered some dairy whip and have brewed up some catnip tea, and I'm looking forward to having stronger, healthier hair. I did use the catnip tea yesterday after washing - leaving it in for about 20 minutes and then rinsing out. I like the softness and shine! It sounds like it only gets better with time and a simple routine. Anyway, I'll report later on my experience. Thanks again!! :flowers:
You are most welcome and thank you for the kind words.Quote:
