Pretty by Nature

Not Just Wine’s Poverty Stricken Brother Anymore

One of the best things about marriage is that you get to introduce each other to things that you would not have otherwise tried. Things that once you open your mind to them, you may come to love yourself. There are a couple of things the hubs has introduced me to, comic books, Barenaked Ladies and GTA, that I don’t like to readily admit that I now like. However one thing I don’t mind sharing is his love of beer. The way a good beer can change your mood or how the right beer should correspond with the season. If it’s snowing and there’s a fireplace, a Black and Tan is a necessity. Middle of July, ice cold Molson please, bottle; never in a can.

So I’ve always heard that beer serves as a nice hair conditioner so I thought I would give it a go. Umm not the good stuff though. That would be sacrilege. Use the leftover Bud your skeevy cousin left at your house at the last family BBQ. I found a couple of recipes and tried them out. I had to play around with it a bit in order to find the one that worked the best but I think it did what it was supposed to do. Try giving your hair a beer rinse once a month to get rid of any buildup from your shampoo. It gives you a nice palette to work with and helps your shampoo and conditioner work better for you. I used equal parts apple cider vinegar and flat beer as a rinse after my normal shampoo and condition. It smelled horrible so I had to wash it again. I tried it again the next day with just the beer and followed it with a cup of cooled chamomile tea. That was the ticket. I also saw a recipe for adding essential oils to the concoction that sounds pretty promising. Ultimately there are a lot of ways to use it and I think it’s a good once in a while treatment. I think it would make a nice V-Day present as well for the lady in your life. Hey, here’s a six-pack sweetie, go treat yourself. Okay, maybe not.
