Beer. Rinsing your hair in beer will create a shinier mystic for your hair. While many will think this is a perfect waste of a good beer, it can help in keeping the luster wanted for a head of hair.

This is due to the fact the hair needs the oils from the skin secretions to stay healthy. Washing and rinsing the hair in lukewarm water will eliminate any residue from the dirt, shampoo, and conditioners from the hair and scalp.

Washing and rinsing hair in hot or cold water will clog the hair folicals and pores. This can speed up the balding process. Any left over residues from the dirt, shampoo, and conditioners that do not belong in the hair will make styling hair harder.
