Yes, it needs time to work best, from my experience.Quote:

Ok well Ive done this about 6 times and I love it. I have long hair and normally use a lot of condish. I use a dime size when I use catnip and its super super soft, not frizzy and much brighter and lighter. I LOOVVEEE this. And I use the cheap dollar general petmate kind. Im going this weekend to PetSmart to get a higher quality and see how much better the results get! I love catnip!!!!!!!!
Great news! Catnip does not lighten hair though. It can add a light blonde stain to hair. That is different to lightening hair colour if that is what you meant. Lighter as in the hair not being weighed down? Yes absolutely!Quote:

Absolutely! If you have been using any conditioners with any colours in them like FD&C colours to make them more appealing, and then use something without them, the hair can indeed be brighter.Quote:

After 5 years and counting, it still amazes me. I use 0 conditioner, only catnip tea (following shampoo).Quote:

Every 5 days to once a week. I have stretched it out longer, although I prefer not to do that.Quote:

I didn't have time to let the rinse sit, and my hair was a bit staticky the next day (then again, humidity was down to 35% so perhaps that's not surprising). But I do want to experiment with leaving it on for longer.
