I have been using it for over 4 years now (I rinse it out) and I have 0 plans to stop using it, lol.
I tried this today, and I can't say that I was impressed. My hair felt really dry afterwards, though it did have a lot of root lift and TONS of volume. I also have thick, curly hair with a cut that I *HATE* w/ choppy ends (that only looks good when I have STRAIGHTENED hair!!!). I had to put leave in conditioner in my hair a couple of hours later because my hair felt so dehydrated. Maybe the tea is too strong, or maybe my fine, curly hair just doesn't like it. Who knows....
I'll try it again. Maybe this was a fluke.
Catnip rinse on the hair. Interesting. I may have to give this a try.

Hey, do I have to use a totally cone free shampoo before I use this stuff? I used Paul Mitchell Shampoo One, which DOES have some cones, although I've never noticed any buildup from it whatsoever. I'm wondering if that is why it did absolutely NOTHING for my hair. Any shampoo recommendations, anyone?
My shampoo Sunsilk Lively Blonde Shampoo (I import it, it is the European formula) has one cone and no build-up either and has never been a problem used with catnip.Quote:

Catnip use from my experience gets better with time and bagging or covering it and timing, about one hour per treatment.
Brunette, I'm thinking of trying it as a leave in next time. Have you tried rinsing out and leaving in, and if so, what better results do you get from leaving it in?Quote:

It definitely doesn't feel like regular conditioner, and I can definitely see that the results would get better over time.Quote:

Did not like the yellow shade that showed up on the white. :cool: One wash w/ Suave clarifying and a few drops of violet 'poo however, took care of it ...
I could tell there was something on it by the feel - day 2 started to feel a little 'slick' near the scalp. Have to do a little more experimenting. Today I used a BioSilk knock-off ... :confused:
