I have never used the powder form. I buy cut and sifted leaves and buds from the pet store. The powder should be fine. You would need less than 1 level teaspoon for the equivalent.
I have never used cassia but it contains coatings like conditioner, that in my opinion would interfere with catnip conditioning your hair as well as it may otherwise, on its own. Try it and see how you like it, several different ways.
Thank you ktani:)

Re: Catnip for split ends?
I searched the thread and forum but didn't come up with anything.
Has anyone made or tried catnip steeped in oil?
I have a huge amount of harvested catnip flowers and leaves and was thinking of trying this.

Catnip has its own oils. I have not needed anything else added to it. Those who do oil after a catnip treatment have reported need very little oil needed.

After I have rinsed out my catnip treatment my hair can only take 3 drops of Camellia Oil max. If I try to use more it looks greasy and I have quite a bit of hair.

You may find that you do not need the extra oil after a while.

I don't think I really need it, but I just love it :)

That is a good enough reason to keep using it, lol.

Ktani, this raises a point I've been wondering about: Is it the volatile oils in catnip that give it its effect on hair & skin? My intuition is yes, but it does seem you're the person to ask... I've been toying with the idea of making a tincture of it, for use in bathwater. I know, simpler to just infuse some of and add that to the water - but I was thinking more in terms of giving it as gifts. If it would even work, that is. : )
