My bathroom cabinet is filled with bottles, jars and packets of sprays, serums and creams that are all meant to revive my over processed locks. In the process of trial and error, I have discovered effective and not so effective hair moisturizer products. I have also discovered that I can reach into my cooler and grab an inexpensive boost to my hair’s texture and style.

As it turns out, beer is the secret hair moisturizer you never knew you had. Comprised of proteins that act as a natural moisturizing agent, beer is shown to help repair dryness and boost hair body and volume.

The beer hair moisturizer strategy is simple to execute. First, take a beer (that you don’t plan to drink) and allow it to sit until it reaches room temperature.

Allow your hair to dry and notice the difference in shine and texture. Like the results? Repeat this process once weekly.
