Did Bella Thorne Use Beer To Lighten Hair?

Bella Thorne has just perhaps revealed a rather crazy secret last week, thanks to a video posted on the 21-year-old celebrity's Instagram page.

In the video, Bella was seen attending a friend's pool party. At one point of the video, Bella suddenly tilts her head back as her friend pours beer all over the young woman's hair. Yes, beer.

After having beer poured on her hair, Bella then started running her hands across her strands as though it was shampoo and conditioner. And then, she got up and headed straight to the pool with her friend. In the backrgound, her friend could be heard saying, "Now, I need to go to the pool!"

What just happened?

It appears that yes, Bella did get beer poured onto her hair. And not only did they do it on purpose, Bella also believes that it's completely beneficial to her light locks.

In the caption, Bella takes the opportunity to defend her and her friend's actions on the video. She says, "For everyone harassing yes it’s beer. It naturally lightens ur hair and people say it’s good for u ? my next film my hair has to be hunny blonde, saving me a trip to the salon ? in my book I talk about the tips and tricks the ups and downs and the very low lows. Order the book right now and I might hand deliver u a case of beer ??? #thelifeofawannabemogul."

Can we use beer to lighten hair?

There are many ways to lighten hair, the most common of which is hair dye and bleach.

Unfortunately for Bella Thorne, though, beer is not one of them. In fact, using beer to lighten hair may even do more harm than good.

"While it’s not harmful to dump beer on your head, you will smell like a frat house and the proteins in the malt and hops could actually leave your hair feeling brittle," says stylist Amanda Scott in an interview with Marie Claire. She works at Serge Normant at John Frieda Salon in New York.

Scott also says that if Bella really wanted to use alcohol to lighten hair, she should've gone with vodka instead. After all, vodka has a higher alcoholic content than beer. Together with chamomile, lemon, and seltzer, spraying vodka over a few days could give Bella the lighter hair she wanted.

But beer? Not a chance. Scott adds, "Stick with conditioner, or be avant-garde and try kombucha, at least you will smell nicer and be more 2019 vogue."
