How My Love of Alcohol Actually Improved My Hair — Really

The claim: Beer rinses are totally a thing, as the drink is packed with strengthening proteins. I had a fridge full of Peronis — call it fate. At the suggestion of our friendly internet, I mixed this Italian lager with an egg white, as both are packed with proteins that can revive damaged strands.

Does it work on your hair? Oh yes it did. My brave head of hair, which has been subjected to an assault of bleach this past year (so much so that our senior beauty editor shamed me for it here), is brittle and dry. I used this mask two Sundays in a row, and it became glossy and soft. Just call my three foot-long shower the next Drybar.
