They dont have caffiene in stores where I live... so I made a little coffee with taurine and put on my hair.

Every time hair quality suffers and gets super dry.

I'm guessing coffee is not the same as putting pure caffiene on your scalp

According to Ray Peat, caffeine can dry and make the scalp itch if it is too much. try diluting the coffee a lot. it only takes a small amount of caffeine to be effective. too much has an opposite effect according to researchers.

I think the study regarding caffeine and hair growth only used like .01% concentration. I could have made that number up but less is more. I’m using niacinamide, caffeine and rosemary oil in a cup of water as a hair rinse.
