Rubbing Coffee Grounds into the Scalp

[glassworld]

Hm.... This does sound kind of wacky, but remember a while back when those German scientists claimed that coffee grounds might help with hair loss??

Has anyone tried doing this?? I mean, I'm not suggesting that it would work... but it seems like such a simple, and not to mention inexpensive, experiment.

I haven't been able to find a post on this board about doing this?? (but maybe they used a term other than "coffee grounds" in their post??)

this has been mentioned before, and there are caffeine based products out there. however until i see the actual study rather than all these writeups of it, i don't trust it to much. have been looking for it but to no avail, maybe a German speaker would be able to take a look around?

ive heard of this as well. from what i remember you would have to rub so mcuh of it in you would literally be doing it all day. apparently you can get the same effect by drinking loads of it but its something like 40 cups a
day. a last resort i would say.

I tried a caffeine ibuprofen gel mix on my head for a good 6 months a while back, no results from it.
