Our expert this week was hairdresser Mark Hill, Twice British Hairdresser of the Year. Use a mild bitter and create a mixture of ¼ beer to ¾ water.
After using your conditioner, rinse your hair with the mixture.
Follow then by rinsing your hair with cold water to take away the smell.
Mark recommends to get the most out of your hair shiner to spritz it into the air as you would a perfume and walk under the mist. This will give your hair shine without weighing it down. For guaranteed shiny hair he also recommends eating well, drinking plenty of water, using a very good shampoo and conditioner and getting great haircuts on a regular basis.
If like our naked testers you want to try beer as a natural alternative to shine your hair, just follow these tips.
