Yield: 10 ounces

Beer is one of my favorite beauty treatments for hair — nothing else gives my hair such body, bounce and shine. This shampoo is a cinch to make and it really works. After you’ve tried it, you’ll never throw out flat or stale beer.

• 1 cup beer (any inexpensive beer will do—fresh or flat)
• 1 cup Basic Shampoo or inexpensive commercial shampoo

1. Heat beer in a small saucepan over medium heat and boil until beer is reduced to 1/4 cup. Add reduced beer to shampoo and stir well.

2. Pour shampoo into a clean squeeze bottle or empty shampoo bottle. (You do not need to refrigerate this product.) Shampoo and rinse well.
