Yes, you are reading the title correctly. Beer washing is actually a technique used to rid your hair of all the gunk, grime and products that can build up over time. It was not made on the suggestion to encourage bizarre antics of binge drinking, rather an effective solution to keeping your hair healthy.
You may be wondering what exactly the beer wash does to your hair. firstly it is meant to give volume, shine, softness and reinforce the strength down to the roots. The carbonation and alcohol content removes the unwanted build up while the hops and barley actually enrich the hairs with their proteins and nutrients.
You will need the following:
- Shampoo
- A Towel
- Conditioner
- Shower cap
- A 568ml can of your beer of choice
- A small bowl
The process involves letting the beer come to room temperature, putting a quarter of the can in with a reasonable amount of your conditioner in a bowl then rinse over the bath tub and giving it a good wash.
Next would will have to shampoo your hair again, add more of the mixture to you hair, let it soak in using the shower cap to put over your head for about 30 mins. Rinse once more then shampoo add the remainder of the beer and condition to finish off.
