Beer Rinse

My home remedy for the month of August was to try the beer rinse. Well, I did.

First I'm a little confused, because after consulting multiple sites, I wasn't sure if I should pour the beer on BEFORE or AFTER I shampooed. I went with before, even though the sites I consulted had different directions.

I'm also pretty sure I didn't use the "odorless" beer they suggested. I made do with what I had, which was some foreign sort of banana beer. I'm not kidding when I tell you it for sure reeked of bananas. The entire shower stank like a fruit bar. Also, I may have for sure got a good amount of beer in my eye as I was pouring it on my head, and let me tell you, banana beer or not, that shit BURNS!

So, I poured on my banana beer, massaged it it, and then showered as usual. All in all, I hate to say it, but I'm not too impressed. A beer rinse seems like something my hair could do without, and sort of felt like I was taking an extra pain in the ass step I could skipped. Will I be doing this again in the future? Likely not.

UPDATE: I may have to eat some crow here. 24 hours later, and my hair is like BUTTAH. I haven't felt it this soft in a few months, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to eat my words here and say that the beer rinse was, in fact, pretty awesome for my hair, and may have to be done on a semi regular basis...
