I use it every time I wash my hair, as a replcement for conditioning. I also use it for colour. I cannot speak for others but my no split ends and very low breakage, is IMO, because I use catnip all of the time.Quote:

It's already starting to do it's thing!
When I shampooed with DW today my breakage and shedding were WAY down. When I rinsed the 'nip I got maybe just a few hairs! And my ends feel as soft as my length, even when wet now! So it's definately strengthening my hair HOORAY!!!!! And softening. So I'm most probably a catnip-er for life. :cheese:
As a side note, I always struggle with dry, itchy, flaky scalp. It's worse in the winter due to dry air. The last two days I had ZERO itching and very little flaking. ZERO. For me that's a miracle in and of itself.
It is drying at the moment, so I'll update again when it's completely dry.
As I have said, for me, it is catnip forever, lol.Quote:

Well, it's dry now...and completely soft all the way through even down to the tips! The back where I have my dry areas are a little less soft but not much. YAY!
I may do an extra catnip treatment this week because I'm off....I usually only wet my hair 3 times a week but I may do a fourth saturday. I'm having too good results!!!
It cannot hurt. Enjoy it!Quote:

That was so sweet of you. I cannot think of a reason why catnip should not work on any hair type, or age group.Quote:

Am waffeling on what hair toys to take for the same reason, I have mostly hairpins and sticks. Anyway, the catnip worked better than ever expected, this will become a three times a week treatment.
I made the tea as suggested, made a ponytail and dunked the tail into the tea, poured the rest over my head and put the tail into a baggie secured with a scrunchie for a half hour, then just rinsed, no shampoo. My hair looks lovely, despite no washing for almost a week and I have oily hair! We will see how it looks tomorrow.
Fantastic! Catnip does not need to be washed out, just rinsed, (making sure you understand my routine). I shampoo pre catnip only.Quote:
