Anyway that's totally interesting. Last years Internext show, I quit drinking coffee. I've always drank a whole pot every single day for years. Now I have an occasional espresso or something but I really DO notice a BIG difference in memory! I was always forgetting stuff... Important stuff that would not be normal to forget. I think that cutting the caffine should help you a bit.
You might also want to consider different lighting in your powder room when you're applying your hair gel. Standing there for hours in unnatural light might be doing you all sorts of damage
