BEER
Flat beer to be exact. Most people might not know that flat beer has been used on hair for years and years by top models and beauty pageant contestants. It styles your hair without stickiness and gives the hair a bounce no other product gives.
Beer also will give extra life to permed hair that is almost at the end, or naturally curly hair that may droop as the day goes on. Here's how to use it...
Leave a can of beer open until it is flat. Pour ½ cup of the beer in a spray bottle. Spray on towel dried shampooed hair before setting, blow-drying, or curling. While you might think you will smell like a brewery, the odor will evaporate quickly...
Shiny and bouncy hair.
For an extra shine,take 1/3 cup vodka, 1/3 cup of your favorite shampoo. Mix together and shampoo as usual. And your hair will shine like never before. Beer is an excellent remedy for dull hair.
Beer rinses are mostly based on dark, rich beers. In general darker beers have more protein and sugars in them (although not always). The principle is simple, the beer gives the hair some extra body as a result of the sugars and proteins in the beer. These adhere to the hair shaft and make them a little thicker as with egg rinses. Unlike eggs though, beer does not have soap or conditioning properties and the residual smell can be quite a significant deterrent to using a beer rinse.
Beer Conditioner
- 1 cup of your favorite brand of beer (warm)
- 1 teaspoon of Jojoba Oil ($14.99 for 4 ounces at
Drugstore.com)
Combine ingredients and then apply to hair, spreading conditioner from ends to scalp. Rinse well.
Beer Hair Rinse
Ingredients
- 1 ounce of distilled water
- 7 drops of lemon essential oil
- 1 ounce of beer
- 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar
Combine ingredients and then apply to hair after shampooing. Rinse well.
As a conditioner too, beer has excellent results on adding up to the shine of your hair. As it contains vitamin B6, which prevents the build-up of amino acid called homocysteine that has been linked to heart disease, you're sure to have a healthy hear too.
