DIY Beer Shampoo St Patricks Day Idea.

March 1, 2011 by Nellie Lee Luhrmann 5 Comments

Beer shampoo adds body and shine to your hair. You can make your own beer shampoo at home. This shampoo, does not need to be refrigerated. After you’ve tried it, you’ll use it again!
I think this would make a lovely gift to give this coming St Patricks Day
THINGS YOU WILL NEED

1x can of Beer

1 x standard size bottle of  Shampoo

Saucepan

Source Of Heat

INSTRUCTIONS

Reduce the beer:

First, you will need to reduce the beer by heating it. Heat the beer in a sauce pan over medium heat until it is approximately ¼ the amount

Let the beer Cool

Let the reduced beer sit in the pan to cool until it reaches a temperature that can be handled easily.

Mix the beer into your shampoo

Once the beer is cooled, pour it into approximately 1 cup of regular shampoo.

Shampoo your hair

You can use your beer shampoo to wash your hair as you normally would, rinsing well.Beer shampoo will add volume and body to your hair. Shampooing with beer daily is a natural way to help hair appear thicker and fuller.

    I used to live in Italy and all the hair stylists used straight beer from the bottle as a final rinse AFTER shampooing. You do not rise out the beer. Smelled pretty bad going on but always left hair wonderfully soft and easy to style. Lots of body and no smell at all once dry.

    Neat recipe. I was just telling a friend that I could swear that my hair was thicker and healthier when I drank more beer way back in my 20’s!

    I don’t see the harm there are so many preservatives in beer and shampoo. Alternatively you could reduce the beer put it in a jar and then add it to your shampoo manually as you use it as to not spoil your shampoo.

Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets (For When You Want to Scream into a Pillow)

Free Printable Downloads for Women 40+ Navigating the Hormonal Rollercoaster

Let’s be real—there are days when being a woman over 40 feels like riding a hormone-fueled tilt-a-whirl without the safety bar. Welcome to perimenopause, my friends. If you’ve ever found yourself sweating while standing in front of the fridge, crying over a puppy food commercial, or forgetting why you walked into a room (again), you’re in good company.

That’s exactly why I created these Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets—printable pages made especially for those “I swear if someone breathes near me I’m going to scream” moments.

What Are Calm Down Sheets?

These aren’t your typical mandala coloring pages. Nope. These were lovingly illustrated with women in perimenopause and menopause in mind—think messy buns, mood swings, and a whole lot of caffeine. Each sheet includes relatable cartoons, cheeky quotes, and stress-relieving doodles that are way more satisfying to color than pretending you’re fine.

They’re perfect for:

Rage coloring during a hot flash

Cooling down after snapping at your partner for chewing too loudly

Unwinding with a glass of wine and a pack of colored pencils

Quiet moments when your brain fog lifts just enough to enjoy something creative

Why Coloring Helps During Perimenopause

There’s science behind this, promise. Coloring helps lower cortisol levels, focus your mind, and gently ease anxious thoughts. It’s like a mindfulness practice, but one that doesn’t require Lycra or a meditation app subscription. And let’s be honest—when the world feels a bit much, giving a snarky mug or frazzled cartoon woman a splash of lavender and hot pink is downright cathartic.
