Hops to it
An after-shampoo rinse with flat beer can give your locks extra lustre and manageability. Hops contain protein to help strengthen hair fibres, while the acidic quality of the brew helps remove residue and seal the cuticle, letting natural volume and glossiness shine through. After a blow-dry, the beer smell should completely disappear. Not up for a beer bath? Try Beauty & the Bees Tasmanian Beer Shampoo Bar ($9.95) or the hops-infused Matrix Biolage Hydratherapie Detangling Solution ($24.25) instead.

When i was growing up and mum had some beer that had been left she would keep it and as my sisters and I had very long hair she would use the beer in the rinsing of our hair we didnt think anything of it except Yuck...But she always said its good for your hair....snf i have to say we always got compliments on our hair...about how long it was and how shiney it was also...So mum must have known something

That's a much better use for beer than it's intended purpose.
