There are recipe suggestions for adding natural ingredients to flat beer - like honey, apple cider vinegar, or egg (as well as oils like jojoba) - to supposedly enhance its conditioning abilities. And in recent years, several new hair products have come to market containing beer, claiming to leave you with luscious, silky locks.

The alcoholic brew has long been popular among celebrities and stylists, as a part of a holistic hair care routine. In 2009 Hollywood actress Catherine Zeta-Jones revealed that she uses beer and honey to condition her beautiful, black mane, which fuelled enthusiasm for it.
