It depends on how you use it, mainly. When I'm cookin it up, the at does get a bit excited if she is in the room, but sh doesn't attack my hair (and she loves catnip).Quote:

It actually makes a big difference. I have porous hair so when I go a few days without washing the ends get really dry, but I don't want to wash my hair more than I have to. This works really well in between, making my ends really shiny and soft, and it doesn't seem to add greasyness for me so It doesn't increase the frequency of my washes.
Wow, I'm constantly amazed at the difference this stuff makes in my hair! I haven't used any the past few weeks, but now that I've used it again I can tell such a difference!
Sorry to be contrary, but I followed the directions that were posted about infusing the catnip and I couldn't tell any difference. My hair smelled like grass and I thought it was a little more tangled then usual, other then that no change.
I have noticed less splits since I started sleeping on silk pillowcases.

Catnip was not an instant fix for my hair in the beginning.
I had build-up on my hair from a previous herbal treatment I was using and I do not clarify.
I did notice that my hair was better with catnip though.
Gradually, as the build-up washed out and I experimented with bagged timing, my hair improved.
Now with the maximum bagged timing, my hair does not tangle wet or dry - the splits and breakage decreased quite a while ago with my catnip use.
It will be different for everyone, depending on their routine.
I agree with Ktani. Not only just in that it might not work for everyone, but that it takes time and you may have buildup form something else. I do hope it works for you if you decide to keep trying. :)Quote:

I'm thinking that once a week seems like a good frequency. Does that sound reasonable?
Senna and fungreek? Interesting... and I don't have either. :(Quote:
