Mmm ... beer, the delicious soda that makes you feel good. And, apparently, makes you look good, and we’re not talking about beer goggles. Recently, beauty blog BellaSugar reminded us that the beverage has some great beauty benefits. Because of its astringent qualities, beer can help remove hair product buildup when used as a pre-shampoo treatment. You can also make a homemade facial with it, adding avocado, vinegar, and honey. As a last suggestion, you can pour it into your bubble bath ... which doesn’t seem to have much benefit other than it feels good (apparently). [BellaSugar]
We’ve also come across some other uses for ale—there are countless recipes out there for beer shampoos and conditioners (you can mix it with jojoba oil, for example), and you can also use it as a styling spray. The question is, would you really want to?

“It’s about 2 am and the guy at the bar who’s been ogling you over his last 6 or 8 bottles of Bud Light staggers in your general direction. He moves in for kill, getting up in your face and suavely blurting out: “Gee yer hair looksh aweshum! *Hic*.”
That kind of drunken compliment is about the most benefit your hair will get from beer.”

My mother used to use beer on my hair when I was little. I have no idea what the reason was but it definately didn’t smell afterward.
I don’t know what the supposed benefits were so to me I’ve come to see it as a waste of good alcohol. Which may have been my mother’s intentions.
