Even before the beneficial properties of beer for hair were proven experimentally, students of Seattle beauty school Evergreen beauty college developed and began to apply dozens of hair masks using this drink.
In Soviet times, women washed their heads with soap. Shampoo appeared on store shelves later and, of course, was a terrible shortage. And everyone wanted to have beautiful hair. Grandmothers helped. They also mentioned that their mothers and grandmothers did not even use soap to wash their heads. Tinctures of rye bread and sour milk were used, and for rinsing – malt and hop infusion – the main ingredients of beer.
If you add yeast and water to malt and hops, it is almost a complete beer recipe. All these components contain B vitamins and provitamin D, PP. And phosphorus, copper, useful amino acids, and iron. Malt and yeast are rich in potassium, along with vitamins, it strengthens the hair follicles, thereby not only preventing hair loss. And the bactericidal properties of hops have the most favorable effect on hair growth. If you rinse your head with beer, vitamin C, which is added to it, also improves the overall condition of the scalp.
Boston hair transplant surgeon Ryan Sambura claims that beer does not restore hair, but significantly improves the condition of existing hair. His colleagues – American trichologists – confirmed this statement. After observing 100 women, each of whom used beer as a hair mask, conditioner, or as a detergent in combination with other components, they brought out a number of useful properties of beer. It increases the volume, strengthens the hair follicles by improving the work of follicles, thereby preventing hair loss, is an effective remedy against split ends, gives shine.
Ida Friedman Casdan from Cleveland – the founder of the company of natural non-decorative cosmetics recommends that everyone who dreams of healthy hair, regularly use beer to rinse hair, as well as as a conditioner. According to her, natural barley (the main component of malt) and hops are rich not only in vitamins but also in proteins. It nourishes healthy hair and repairs damaged, as well as helps increase volume. In addition, the natural components of barley and hops, strengthening the hair cuticle, give it a natural shine and silkiness. The founder of the natural cosmetics company recommends using beer for the head once a week if the hair is oily, and once every two weeks if it is dry, as hops dry the hair.
And beer perfectly eliminates dandruff. Just rinse your head with it 2-3 times a week and the problem will be solved.
By the way, if you moisten your hair with dark beer before winding, your hair will be chic and will not fall apart in any weather.
There are many recipes, how, and in what composition to use beer to improve hair. However, there are some general rules. Beer cannot be a substitute for detergent. It is applied to already washed hair. As a last resort, mix it with shampoo. It is better to use dark unfiltered beer, it has more nutrients. But only light beer will suit blondes – dark beer colors hair. And, of course, the frothy drink should be the freshest.
