BEER AND NATURAL HAIR.. BEER RINSES FOR HEAT DAMAGE.. BENEFITS OF BEER RINSES

Hey loves,

So I straightened my hair two weeks ago and I am already back curly! I jst stuck my head under the water one morning and waited for the curls to come back..

Curly to Straight

Back to Curly


The transformation is really amazing and shrinkage is REAL!  anyway, back to the point of this post. After the blow fry my hair bounced back with no straight ends but I still thought it needed a Lil something extra. I've been slacking on the DIY TREATMENTS so it was a perfect time to head to the kitchen and see what I could mix up.

I decided on a BEER RINSE..

  • Bottle of beer (I used Budweiser)
  • 2 teaspoons of honey
  • 3 drops of lemon juice

BEER? WHAT? GIRL....BYE!


YES.. BEER! 

The hops and malt used in beer is very beneficial to any weak, damaged or lifelessness you may receive from heat.. Beer is always really good for restoring moisture, tightening up curl patterns and producing shine.



So after leaving the beer in overnight (that isn't required I jst happened to fall asleep) my hair was soooooooooooooooooooooooo soft! I've decided that I am going bck to my weekly DIY treatments and beer rinses will be in heavy rotation.

Does your hair smell like beer after?

No.. Rinse thoroughly with cold water and you should not smell like a wine-o after!



Have you ever tried a beer rinse? 


Did you see any results? 


Try it out and let me know what you think!

UPDATE! CURLY TO STRAIGHT! STRAIGHTENED NATURAL HAIR! HEAT DAMAGE????

OMG! I've missed you!

Its been so long --- R u still reading? Have you been checking for updates and stuff? I apologize!

ANYWAY!!!!!!!!!! I'M BACCCKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!

OK LOVES!

I started a new job - yay! and I'm still in school - yay! So my time has been limited. I've missed you though.


I HAVE A HAIR'FESSION... I STRAIGHTENED MY HAIR AGAIN...


Dont kill me! Last weekend I had a wedding to go to so I decided to bite the bullet and go have it blown out - if you were around bck in March then u may remember that was the last time my hair was straight!

So it's been six months..

I got another trim and I've managed to retain MOST of my length.. So yea every six months is a schedule that wrks for me.

WHAT PRODUCTS DID YOU USE?
  • Motions heat styled straight finish cleanser
  • Tresemme naturals nourishing moisture conditioner
  • Dr. Miracles Blowout foam
  • Tresemme heat tamer spray


My experience in the salon was much different this time around and if it weren't for needing a trim and actually having some place to go I would have walked out! What is it about the non english speaking shampoo girl??? Miss I will have you deported if you yank my head wit that tiny ass comb again! And if I bring in my own products please do not try to sneak in wateva is in those mystery bottles.. Thanx!

So the blow out process was no better -- my regular girl was not there and I opted to use another lady.. She got my hair straight but it HURT! And Im not tender headed so she was really causing pain to my scalp.

Aside from the heat, the tugging and the headache afterwards my hair was actually really pretty. Its grown - I've taken pics and I'll follow up when its time to wash it!



She was killin' my head y'all!
