Washing Your Hair with Beer is Good?
We’ve already gone through this whole idea of using beer for things it’s not supposed to be used for. Example A, Beer is for drinking and when needed for cooking. It is not tanning lotion, and it’s definitely not shampoo. Who are the people that need to be told this? On Healthline.com they have an entire article of the benefits of washing your hair with beer. Like the meme for things that are too long… I ain’t reading all that, but I’m happy for you, or sorry that happened to you.
What the article is apparently saying is that beer does have some benefits for your hair. The malt, hops, and iron in beer could make your hair softer and shinier. That’s cool that beer has some health benefits that aren’t all negative. The problem is they say you need to open the beer and let it go flat. Carbon dioxide is not good for your hair. So you’ve lost me already. Flat or as it should be called, stale beer, stinks! Have these people never woken up after a party in high school or college and walked downstairs to the stench of leftover solo cups, or sticky beer-covered floors? It’s terrible, even when you’re not ungodly hungover. Imagine, that’s what your hair smells like.
The internet people talking about this say you wash your hair with shampoo as you normally would, and then you massage the stale beer into your hair. Let it sit for a few minutes. Then you rinse it out. You just rinse it out? Like you’re not re-shampooing to remove the smell of beer in your hair? F*ck outta here! If you have a friend who is doing this, call the police because they’re obviously a danger to society. You can just add this to the long list of why we live in the dumbest timeline.
7 Surprising Hair Cleansing Methods That Go Beyond Shampoo
When it comes to maintaining our hair’s cleanliness and vitality, the majority of us turn to the trusty bottle of shampoo. But what if we told you there’s a whole world of alternative hair cleansing methods? From apple cider vinegar to baking soda, natural alternatives are gaining popularity. Many people are seeking to reduce their reliance on traditional shampoo.
One of the main motivations behind exploring alternative hair cleansing methods is the desire to minimize exposure to potentially harmful chemicals found in conventional shampoos. By turning to natural ingredients like apple cider vinegar, baking soda, or aloe vera, people can effectively cleanse their hair without the worry of harsh additives. These ingredients are gentle on the scalp, promoting healthier hair growth and reducing the risk of chemical-induced damage.
Everything but shampoo.
The scalp produces natural oils known as sebum, which nourish and protect our hair. Traditional shampoos often strip away these oils, leaving hair dry and brittle. On the other hand, alternative cleansing methods can help restore the scalp’s natural balance by maintaining an optimal level of sebum production. By using ingredients like diluted apple cider vinegar, people can remove excess oil and buildup while still preserving the hair’s natural moisture.
Many hair cleansing products contain synthetic chemicals that can be harmful to ecosystems once they’re washed down the drain. However, alternative hair cleansing methods offer a more sustainable approach. Ingredients like baking soda are biodegradable and have a minimal environmental impact. Additionally, these alternatives are often more affordable, making them an attractive option for those looking to reduce their household expenses.

However, it’s important to remember that everyone’s hair and scalp are unique. What works wonders for someone else might not have the same effect on you. That’s why it’s important to personalize your approach and find what works best for you. Don’t be discouraged if it takes a bit of trial and error to find your hair care soulmate.
If you’re ready to shake things up and embark on a more sustainable and holistic approach to hair care, check out these six everything-but-shampoo hair cleansing methods.
