Beer Rinse
Aug 17^th, 2005 at 10:17am

I did a beer rinse last night. My hair is shiny, soft and the leftover curls from the perm (bad, bad, I know) came out nicely again. It doesn't smell like beer neither.

{Rinse hair with beer to add body and shine!

The vitamin B and natural
sugar add body and shine.

Simple Beer Rinse

Once a month use a can of flat beer after shampooing. Choose a beer that does not have a strong odor. Shampoo and rinse hair as usual. Pour the flat warm beer on your hair and work it through. Rinse with lukewarm, not hot, water. }

I've heard of the beer rinse before. I've never tried it myself (can't stand the smell of beer).

I remember back when I was in Junior High, a girl was caught with a can of beer in her locker. She claimed it was so she could do a beer rinse of her hair after gym class. The school officials didn't believe her and suspended her from school for a week. I think the "problem" with her reasoning was the fact the beer was on ice in a cooler! Grin

And when you say "can" you mean the small/normal size or the big one? I somehow think that 330ml of the normal can won't be enough??

I'm not sure how long it would take for a beer to go flat. Maybe overnight? LOL that's pretty funny BB. Cynde

I opened a bottle of beer and let it sit overnight. Maybe a fresh one would be interesting too....if it still bubbles on the head? Free scalp massage with bubbly beer

I just found the following on this website

http://www.hintsandthings.co.uk/bathroom/hairtips.htm

Out of hair setting products, try:-
• Use a solution of sugar and water on hair to create a sculptured look. Beware of wasps though!!!!
• Beer - this gives body, especially is flat beer is applied to damp hair.
• Champagne - gives definition
• Tonic water or red wine - FOR DARK hair
• White wine - FOR BLONDE hair.
• To create curly styles, wind sections of hair around a scrunched up tissue and then knot the ends of the tissue together. When dry, unwind - hey presto!
Or, alternatively, drink the alcohol an let your hair flop. Roll Eyes

Might just say, let if flop - party time Grin

"Flat beer"??!! mmmm, now I really want my hair to look nice, but it sounds to me like a waste of beer. Ok, so I'd have to resist temptation while waiting for the beer to go flat. Cheesy

Needless to say beer should *never*, *ever* go flat. Grin

As for wine, I wish I was blonde, because red wine doesn't stand a chance to be put into my hair. Ok, ok, maybe MadDog 20-20, but no wine over 8 bucks and that has an honest to goodness cork! Grin

In my house, there would never be any red or white wine leftover to rinse my hair with. As for the MD 20/20 - I have a bottle left over from our 20th wedding anniversary that my in-laws gave us (we hope it was a joke!) I never thought about using it as a rinse.

Ok, so I'm off-topic again. Sorry, BB. I guess it's my nature. Cheesy

Juri, when I was in college (I attended a Catholic university), we had "Purple Jesus" parties. This amounted to a group of folks getting together. Everyone had to bring either grape juice (purple) or some wine (read an allusion to the wine served at Catholic masses) or a white alcohol. All these contributions would then be mixed in a large vessel, usually a clean garbage can (lined, of course). This was the "punch" for the party. Thus with the grape juice or wine, and the seminarians invited, we granted the punch and the party the name.

And let me tell you...the next morning we were asking the Lord's forgiveness! Wink
