The Best Beer Shampoo Choices For Beautiful Hair

Yes, there is beauty in beer. Beer can also help you be beautiful. No, I am not referring to beer goggles. I am talking about beer in beauty products. Beer Shampoo gets rave reviews, as does other beer beauty products.

So what are the best beer shampoos and what can they do for your hair?     

The other day I ran across an article from Men’s Health entitled 32 Things You Can Do With Beer. I’m beer loving girl. Heck, I am the founder of the Brewpubs Category on Waymarking.com. So I was into that article like flies into beer! There were a couple of beauty tips in the article, including my favorite and easy beer shampoo recipe. It also got me thinking about other beer beauty possibilities.

The Science Behind Beer Shampoo

The concept of using beer for hair care might sound strange, but it’s rooted in science. Beer is rich in ingredients that can benefit hair, such as hops, malt, and yeast. These components are natural ingredients that contain proteins, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that can help nourish and fortify your hair strands, promoting growth and shine. Further, the ingredients in beer often are a good source of vitamin B and biotin which is great for hair growth. 

Additionally, the alcohol content in beer can help remove excess oil and residue, leaving your hair feeling fresh and clean.

Benefits of Beer Shampoo

Beer shampoo and beer-infused hair products are great for creating volume and for color treated hair. Here are a look at those and more in terms of benefits.

Volume and Body

 The proteins in beer can add volume and body to your hair, making it look fuller and more voluminous.

Color Protection

Most beer shampoo focuses on natural ingredients and do not rely on sulfates (which strip color) for foam formation, so beer shampoo can be great for your color-treated hair.

Shine and Luster

The natural sugars and vitamins present in beer can enhance the shine of your hair, giving it a radiant and healthy appearance.

Nourishment

Beer’s nutrient-rich composition can provide essential nutrients and essential oils to your hair, helping to repair and strengthen damaged strands. This is great for dry hair or damaged hair.

Oil Control 

The alcohol in beer can act as a natural astringent, helping to regulate excess oil production on the scalp. So it can be great for oily hair.

Softness

The conditioning properties of beer can leave your hair feeling soft and smooth to the touch.

How to Use Beer Shampoo

Here is how to properly use your favorite beer shampoo.

1. Start with Wet Hair: Wet your hair thoroughly in the shower before applying the beer shampoo.
2. Apply the Shampoo: Pour a small amount of beer shampoo into your hands and work it into a lather. Gently massage it into your scalp and hair, just like you would with regular shampoo.
3. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse your hair thoroughly with lukewarm water until all traces of shampoo are gone.
4. Condition if Needed: Depending on your hair type, you can follow up with a conditioner to ensure your hair remains soft and manageable.

DIY Beer Shampoo

You can also make your own homemade beer shampoo. For a basic DIY beer shampoo, follow this, which incorporates beer into a regular shampoo:

The beer shampoo recipe is quite simple: Reduce a cup of beer to 1/4 cup by simmering it on the stove. Add a cup of shampoo. The beer helps remove product buildup, adds body to the hair, and leaves it shiny. I recommend using a sulfate free shampoo for this and go for the most natural product possible. 

Beer Facial Mask

Feel like cooking up a facial mask? From the Kegerators Company comes this recipe: Mix one cup of beer, an avocado, a splash of vinegar, and a spoonful of honey. Apply to the face for ten to fifteen minutes. According to the company, you will notice clear pores and a fresher complexion. I have long been a fan of avocado masks, and the I think the beer adds a nice bit of cleansing action.
