Beer Hair Treatment

What better way to celebrate your hair on this day than with beer?  Yes, I said beer!  Beer lovers rejoice!  Beer has many beneficial properties that make it popular as an ingredient in many homemade remedies

Beer is basically composed of sugar, hops and malt.  Hops and malt are proteins which help damaged hair: Hair damaged by chlorine, sun, chemical processing, etc.  The sugar in the beer helps close your hair's cuticle which in turn helps reflect more light and helps give your hair the sough-after appearance of "shiny" hair.

So, what kind of beer do you use?  Don't shell out massive amounts of money to get high quality beer for this.  Any type of beer lower quality (beer pong beer) will do because of beer's basic composition of sugar, malt, and hops.  

You should make sure that your beer is flat before you start the beer hair treatment.  To do this, leave 12 ounces of beer open in a can or bottle for about 1 or 2 hours until it goes flat.  Prepare to take have this rinse ready 1 or 2 hours before you shower.  

Take the beer with you into the shower and set it aside.  Wash your hair with shampoo as usual and then apply the beer to your hair making sure to coat all hair strands from roots to tip.  Massage the beer the beer into your scalp using circular motions with your fingertips and let it sit in your hair for 2 minutes.


Rinse your hair with cool water.  At this point you can use any conditioner to get rid of any traces of beer scent.  Towel and dry and normal.  You will notice your hair is shiny, easier to style, and full of bounce.


Enjoy!
