I'm not interested in the color, besides I think my hair is too dark for it to show up. I will try the once a week timing for now. Oh, and I found the senna and fenugreek at the health food store in the bulk herbs section.

:kitten:Well here I set with catnip tea on my head. I did an infusion per ktani's instructions. I have my hair sopping wet with catniptea with showercap on wrapped in a towel. I will post results later. I plan on letting it soak for at least 30 minutes to an hour. Wish me luck!
how did it go coppercurls?
We have no such section in my local health food store, it's tiny. :(Quote:

I was pretty impressed! When I took my hair out of the shower cap, I could run a wide tooth comb through it without in conditioner! :disbeliefWooHoo! So Me being me, I started thinking "Do I really need to rinse this out?" 15 minutes later the answer was an obvious "Yess!" As my hair started to dry it was feeling really tangly dry. So I rinsed out the catnip w/water & did an SMT with Suave Toasted Vanilla. I added a few drops of tangerine EO. OMG, that stuff smelled wonderful! I left this on for about 45 minutes & rinsed. Hair was shiny, easy to detangle! WooHoo again! I didn't use any gel and had really good curls formation. I think it would have been better w/ gel, but I wanted to see what the catnip did. I think I will def be adding this to my routine. The curl formation alone was worth it! I also think my shine went up a notch too. You know how we curlies are always searching for shine! Maybe with a couple of months use I can tell about split ends decreasing.

Yay for curl definition and shine!!! :cheese:
That what I am thinking too.:pQuote:

Ok. I just had a "stupid hair moment." I have been making the tea with tap water.... I have very hard water, so I didn't see as much difference as when I switched to distilled water. WOW. I am amazed! If I weren't such a conditioner groupie I might not have used it. I didn't need to. :cheese:
I thought that I would also pass along how I brew the stuff too, just in case anyone wants to know. I put the water in my coffee maker and the leaves in the pot and I run the water through and brew it. It was less hassle for me to do it this way.
Glad to know such a small change worked out so well and made such a big difference. :)Quote:
