Strong Homemade Coffee Hair Spray; Side Effects?

Hey all!

I was thinking about making another kind of hair spray, this time with some strong Italian coffee.  I could spray it on my wet hair in the shower, or just spray it all over my scalp and hair throughout the day to get some really serious saturation.

I read that caffeine can be harmful in high amounts to hair growth, but is that topically, or what?

Can anyone see any side effects?  I have kind of dark brownish hair so the issue of it darkening my hair color probably won't matter.

Maybe I should do the same thing but with green tea instead?  I'd rather use coffee as it's more readily available to me.

Thanks

combined with niacinamide, it may work better

4 micro scoops caffeine
12 micro scoops niacinamide
in a 60ml mist sprayer

substances that work similar to caffeine :

benzoic acid
methylene blue
red lights

Well I was going to simply make it from strong coffee I brew for drinking, and put it in a spray bottle, and maybe let it sit for 20 minutes before or after a shower, or whenever, nothing fancy.

I use a caffeine spray everyday, rub it in, absorbs quickly

much simpler and easier

maybe the entire coffee bean works better, i don't know

this man says there is no comparison between coffee and isolated caffeine

Yeah I was just going to use my drinking coffee, not even caffeine powder or anything like that.
