Beer Rinse?

Yep you read it right. Rinsing your hair with beer. A friend of mine tried it and loved it so I thought I'd give it a go too. It was super simple! I just washed my hair like I normally would and then got my good ol' beer(Any old beer will do, but a traditional ale or lager is preferred over wheat beers, because of the hops). Here are some benefits and instructions that I found online at ehow.com...

Benefits
• Beer is made from malt and hops, which contain proteins that are thought to repair hair damaged by chemical processing, sun, chlorine and pollution, and add body to limp strands. The sugars in the beer are believed to make hair shiny by tightening the hair cuticles.

Preparations
• You will want the beer to be flat before putting it on your hair. Open a 12-ounce bottle or can of beer and let it sit out for an hour or two before you plan to shower. You will want to shampoo your hair before using the beer rinse. And yes, you are going to take the beer into the shower with you.

Lather, Rinse, Add Beer
• After shampooing and rinsing your hair, pour the entire beer over your hair, making sure to coat the strands from scalp to tips. Gently massage the beer into your hair and let it soak in for at least two minutes. Rinse your hair completely with cool water. You can then use your regular conditioner to neutralize any traces of beer scent. Towel dry and style as usual. You will find your hair to be shiny, full and bouncy.


What are some hair regimens that you've heard of or tried?


CHEERS!

I cut my hair!

Don't get too excited...I didn't BC but I did cut about 3 inches off lol. I have so many updates! For starters I went to my old hair dresser and he couldn't deal with my natural hair anymore so we both thought it was best I find someone who specializes in natural hair lol. I am kinda feeling a little excited again about my hair. I only have a little more of my relaxed ends left and let me tell ya...when I washed my hair today I was tempted to cut a little more off.

I have noticed that like many, my hair is more then one texture. I definitely like one more then the other lol. Most of it is very tightly coiled without a sign of a curl pattern and then some has curls (which are few and far between lol). Anywho, in 7 days it'll be a year since I decided to go natural yay!!!!! Whew there are still times I think about backsliding lol. I probably have about 2 1/2 inches left of relaxer and if my hair cooperates and grows more, I'll cut them in August. I'm excited to be 100% natural!

Referrals needed

I'm in need of a hair stylist here in Cincinnati something terrible. I prefer someone that can deal with my natural hair. Soooo does anyone have any suggestions?
