I’ve always heard that beer is good for your hair and can be used as a shampoo, but I’ve never actually tested that theory. But I recently stumbled across this fairly easy-to-make recipe for making your own beer shampoo a health food blog, the Natural Holistic Health Blog. Dr. Dee claims that the beer “coats the hair,” helping to repair damaged hair and give it “wonderful body.” The doc also claims there are proteins in both malt and hops which are good for your hair. Here’s the recipe in its entirety.
Take a 3/4 cup of beer — any cheap brand will do — plus one cup of inexpensive shampoo. Boil the beer until it reduces to 1/4 cup. Cool the beer and add it to the 1 cup of inexpensive shampoo.
That’s it. Lather up. Rinse. Repeat.

So is it now officially socially acceptable to bring a beer into the shower with you?
I heard that beer was really good for the hair, I tried it and it made my hair curlier!
