How to make your Hair more Soft/Shining and Silky with Beer

If you are wondering Beer could be beneficial for your hair, then look no further. Yes, beer got something more than just a drink. See how bear can make your hair more silky, shining and soft.

Beer is delicious, and many brews are packed with vitamins and nutrients that our ancestors have used to bolster their meals since ancient times, but did you know that beer can work wonders on your hair as well? It's true, but before you head to the shower with a cold bottle of beer to dump over your head, there's a little more to the story. Here's what you need to know.

Ideal for fine hair, an at-home beer solution is an economical alternative to the $20-40 thickening tonics on the market, since it kills two birds with one stone- adding extra volume while at the same time coating the cuticles with shine. When experimenting with beer as a hair product, it is recommended to use traditional brewed beer made from hops to maximize nutrients and minimize chemicals (since most commercial beers are loaded with stuff you probably shouldn't be putting in your body, let alone your hair).
