Hair Treatments Using Beer

Last update: 26 May, 2022

We invite you to check out some new ways to care for your hair and hydrate it! The most interesting thing of all is that these hair treatments use beer. Don’t miss it! 

There are lots of different hair treatments out there today, using a variety of ingredients from drinks to fruits. In this instance we will tell you about beer treatments. The malt and barley in beer can protect and repair damaged hair follicles, leaving hair shiny and soft.

It’s clear that there are many products on the market today to heal and protect the hair, but they lose their effect over time. This may leave you with brittle or dry hair with no volume. The beer method can be very effective for your beauty treatments, however.

You don’t even have to buy expensive or imported beer. On the contrary, the regular cheap brands at the supermarket will do just fine! It’s important to follow the instructions to get the most benefits out of the last recipe for beer treatments for your hair:

  • Pour the beer into another container; if you want to use the treatment daily, it’s better if it doesn’t sit in the bottle.
  • Let the beer settle. Open it several hours before you’re going to use it so all the gas escapes.
  • Shampoo your hair first so that it’s clean. Doing so afterwards will counter the effects of the beer.
  • You can condition after the beer treatment. This is recommended so that the hair will be soft and shiny, and to get rid of the beer smell in your hair.

You can also mix the beer with other products to increase its effectiveness.

Now we’ll show you some great mix-ins!

Beer-conditioner comb through

This mix works  well when you’re planning to style with gel or hairspray. Apply a small amount of the mix all over the hair, comb it as normal, style as usual, and when dry, it’ll hold great!

Jojoba oil

Jojoba Oil

Mix part jojoba oil with cold beer. Work through the hair, massaging from scalp to ends. Leave on for a few minutes, then rinse well with lukewarm water. In a container, whip the jojoba oil with a bottle of beer, apply on hair and leave in for 30 minutes, then shampoo.

Using beer as shampoo

Just like the remedies above, the only thing you have to do is mix the beer with your normal shampoo. Your hair will be more manageable, with bounce and shine. You can add a few drops of olive oil or rosemary essential oil as well.

Apple cider vinegar

Apple Cider Vinager

This recipe is for frizzy and unruly hair. Mix 1 liter of beer with half a cup of apple cider vinegar. Then apply to the hair and let it sit for 5 minutes. Massage constantly, but don’t shampoo – towel dry and comb through.

With 1/4 liter of beer and 10 drops of apple cider vinegar, you can make a smoothing lotion. Apply it to clean, dry hair and let sit for 15 minutes, then rinse. Doing this at least 3 times per week will give you super smooth and fragrant hair.

Sunflower oil, egg, & beer

These ingredients give your hair more volume. In a container: mix 1 liter of beer, add a tablespoon of sunflower oil, and a raw egg. Mix well and apply to your hair, leaving it on for several minutes. Apply conditioner to remove leftover residue and odors.

Lemon juice

Lemon Zest

This is one of the hair treatments that smoothes and brightens the hair.  In a glass, mix beer with 1/2 cup of Lemon Juice. Apply to the hair after shampooing, leaving on for several minutes, then condition.

One thing to remember about these hair treatments…

Use the recipe you feel is most beneficial to you depending on the needs of your hair. Remember that it’s necessary to have a healthy diet and drink lots of water; making sure to include plenty of Vitamin C, which stimulates hair growth and helps to maintain vibrant color.

Don’t worry about the beer smell-  it evaporates in a few minutes, so you won’t notice a beer smell. You’ll just be left with some awesome results!
