Great to hear! I consider mine to be a treatment though. A rinse to me is pour through and rinse off right away.

Ah, cool. However it works for you as long as you are happy with it. I never liked it left in. Different strokes.

We try so hard to get/keep our hair moisturized that it is rather a shock when it becomes over-moisturized, isn't it? At least, it is for me. Most of the time I'm working at getting moisture in, not keeping it out!

I know. It was the last thing I expected. So now I am taking the brew time down and not quite starting over but seeing what I prefer. I have beeen debating the timing for the tea brewing as I write this. 4.5 or 5 hours, lol. I do not want 6. I think 5.

I figured somewhere on this thread it may have been mentioned about refrigorating catnip

I keep mine (For my cats) in a cool cupboard, so it doesn't seem to lose it's effectiveness for them. Again, I use dry stuff for the kitties

That is exactly how I store mine. It works well.

You mentioned it here, http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/...postcount=1957

and I replied here, http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/...postcount=1958

It has been mentioned before too, about freezing.

I have what may be a silly question, and I apologize if it has already been answered:

Do any of you have cats who have shown an increased interest in your hair after doing this? I'm a little worried my kitty will attack my head!
