A tried and true hair routine can be difficult to establish. The same routine simply won’t work for everyone because there are so many different factors at play.
Starting by finding a shampoo and conditioner that works with your hair type is the first step to establishing your hair routine.
After that, many people incorporate various home remedies to help them grow luscious hair.
One remedy that has been tried is beer for hair. While there is a lack of clinical evidence to support the claim that beer can benefit your hair when ingested or applied topically with a rinse, many sources cite potential benefits of beer, according to Healthline.
Below is more information on how beer can be good for your hair.
1. How does beer promote healthy hair?
Beer is not the answer to rapid hair growth, but it may have potential benefits.
Beer contains a number of nutrients, including calcium, iron, protein, selenium, vitamin D, vitamin E and zinc, according to Healthline.
Although it is important to note that these nutrients can come from many other foods and beverages.
“There are some vitamins and minerals found in beer, but your normal dietary intake will exceed what you get from beer,” Dr. Ryan Welter, founder and CEO of Regeneris Medspa & Cosmetic Surgery and New England Hair Center. Restoration, based in Massachusetts, told Fox News Digital in a phone call.
“There are things you can do for your hair, obviously vitamins, nutrients and so on, that can stimulate your scalp to give your hair follicle better cell structure and then grow healthier hair. stronger and better. … Beer is not doing that,” Welter added.
Beer has been used topically, in the form of a rinse, mainly for its “conditioning effect”.
“Beer in your hair is more like a conditioning effect. So your hair basically has protein strands of character, and since things can stick to these strands, they can help your hair look much healthier than it is or increase the fact that it’s healthy by conditional basically,” he said.
There are various remedies that you can try to promote long and healthy hair.
For example, there are several different oils that are known to promote hair growth.
These oils include rosemary, pumpkin, lavender, peppermint and tea tree, Dr. Brooke Jeffy, a board-certified dermatologist from Scottsdale, Arizona.
To give your hair extra shine without the alcohol content, a solution of apple cider vinegar and water (one part vinegar to three parts water) can do the trick because it “breaks down the scalp and hair build-up and results in in shiny hair,” he said. Tiffany Young, a certified trichologist and CEO of Thin Hair Thick, based in Salt Lake City, Utah.
2. How do I put beer in my hair?
Those who decide to include a beer rinse in their hair routine can do so along with washing their hair, according to Welter.
That said, how often it should be done depends on the person and their hair type. Some can get away with washing their hair once a week, while others need to wash more often for optimal health.
“Your hair, over time, will accumulate oils and dirt,” Welter said.
When you have more oil and dirt in your hair, it will become frizzy and greasy, signaling that it’s time to wash, he also said.
Welter suggested rinsing and repeating with hair washing to ensure the scalp is clean.
“Now, the other caveat to this is that if you wash your hair too much, your scalp can become dry or too oily,” he said.
“If it’s too oily, you can get pustules or pimples on your scalp. If it’s too dry, you’ll have flakes and dandruff and things like that. So the amount of times a week you wash your hair should really depend on your scalp.”
As long as you should leave the beer in your hair, five or so minutes should do it.
“Generally, when you do a conditioner, you have to leave the conditioner in your hair… usually, at least five minutes to get it to bond with the keratin and stick to all the areas where it’s going to stick. Then it’s a light rinse and you’re done,” Welter said.
3. What negative effects can I see from using beer on my hair?
When it comes to using beer on your hair, some things to watch out for are the drying effect, increased frizz, and hair fall.
“I would pay attention to the alcohol content knowing that alcohol has a tendency to dry out hair and make it frizzy with repeated use,” Young told Fox News Digital.
“If you get too much oil or protein in your hair, you’re going to get rough,” Welter said.
