Anyone who knows me can tell you that I love beer- probably more than you and your dad do. And as summer rolls around, the thought of afternoons spent with Evelyn Waugh and a few icy cold bottles is a delicious one. Yet- Cruelly- notions of donning a bikini after a few too many of those heady, Ale soaked days are significantly less soothing. Because of this predicament, I have had to find new ways to enjoy beer- and one such use is in my hair. Yes; just as it can brighten a dull day, beer can also give lustrous shine to you hair. But don’t just go pouring a longy of Carlton over your head (unless you want your locks to be as dry as your mouth after a long night spent knocking back aforementioned beverage); there is a method. Pour your bottle of choice into a saucepan and, on a gentle boil, let it reduce until there is about a ¼ of a cup left. Let the by now wholly untempting liquid cool, then mix it with your regular shampoo. Voila! And just think of the room for variation: wheat beer for blondes, Guinness for those darker manes. If you need me over summer, I’ll be in the shower.
