Your hair looks so nice after the beer rinse. But I do have one concern that the alcohol dries out the ends. Does anyone know if this a legitimate concern?

@rapunzel19611 - It's been 5 days now and I haven't noticed any ill effects.

I think my boyfriend would hate me if I used his tetleys on my hair :( asda smart price it is!

@buterscotchpudd - I have much the same thought. Make sure it's low in alcohol volume, though.

Absolutely lovely! And you can totally see how shiny your hair is! It would be interesting to keep a sort of log comparing beer and what works best- dark vs ale, etc.

@lerchskat - I tried a bitter from the supermarket today (99p for 4 cans) and it seems to have worked just as well. Bombadiers, it turns out, is an ale. The person who recommended this to me said their friend swore by Guinness.

@droomprinsesje1234 - I rinsed thoroughly and I certainly haven't noticed any smell today (I did the rinse last night). I think that if I didn't rinse it out, using it to hold braid curls for example, I would definately smell boozey ;0) Probably not good for me as I work in the retail industry! I don't want my customers telling my manager I smell of alcohol.

Does it still smell? I heard that dried beer doesnt smell, and I saw another youtuber using a little in her hair, without rinsing it, to hold braid curls better. Maybe you can try that.
