Is Beer Shampoo a thing in the US right now, or is that just India?

[Recursion]

The ad for Beer Shampoo comes on all the time here and I'm curious if it's also in the US.

1. Wonder how his voice felt after how many takes?

Grrrrrr!

[Recursion]

2. I think that's how Indians think Americans talk

Because I've seen a couple of people here try to do American accents and they get all gruff and screamy like that.

3. It's been around for years, but without the silly commercials...

and I hear it works pretty well for women, too. Tough sell to women, though, and this won't make it any easier.

That bottle? Looks a lot like a real beer bottle and we just know someone's gonna make a mistake.

5. Probably better than the mistake my buddy made in HS...

We were at a party where a bunch of the baseball were hanging out. You know what habit a lot of baseball players take up, and one of them was using an emoty beer can for ejection. Unfortunately he left it near my buddy's can and well you can imagine the rest.

8. I have that habit (yes, I know it's gross)

Pro-tip: beer (even old beer) is below room temperature; chaw spit is above it.

4. Back in the 70s it was a thing.

I haven't seen any beer shampoo in the stores lately.

6. I'll confess to using it occasionally.

Redkin makes "clean brew" shampoo: http://www.redken.com/products/mens/shampoo-conditioner/clean-brew-extra-cleaning-shampoo

10. Does beer actually do something good for your hair?

I'm ignorant of hair care issues.

11. I would use it as a setting lotion for my fine flyaway hair.

But now all the different mousses do a better job.

12. I have no idea.

I do know you can spray it as a fixative on charcoal drawings.

The malt smelled kind of cool as a shampoo anyway.

15. Your hair sleeps like a baby after passing out

But it looks like hell in the morning until you give it a Bloody Mary shampoo.

7. It was around when I was a teen. I used it.

Who knows if it did anything. I was just following a fad.

9. Growing up at the cottage we put raw eggs, or lemon on our hair. Don't think we were allowed beer.

13. I think beer helps balance the PH in hair

Beer runs close to 5 on the PH scale, not completely basic but way less acidic than lemon juice or vinegar.

However, it's probably better to rinse one's hair with beer after shampooing than to use a shampoo with beer as an ingredient.

14. we used to rinse our hair with flat beer

in the 60's. it made our hair super soft. i have never heard of beer shampoo.

16. I know some who would say...

...it's a damn shame to waste beer like that.

In cooking there's beer-battered this and that touted, but the only thing I use it for is Steamed Spiced Shrimp. And I can't actually tell you if it makes a difference. I only know that the recipe comes out divine, so I'm not going to change a thing. And, as with any recipe that uses an alcoholic beverage, you have to be very careful about tippling during the preparation lest you muck it all up.

17. Beer shampoo has always been a thing in the US, but we make it at home

Capful of beer, half a cap of shampoo...done.
