Champagne rinse for your hair??

[molljo]

Thought this was pretty silly, but I thought I'd share

Champagne Rinse (http://www.townandcountrymag.com/style/beauty-products/news/a2631/why-you-should-rinse-your-hair-with-champagne/?click=_hpTrnsprtr_1&src=spr_TWITTER&spr_id=1454_122941045)

Oh dear. XD

A cup of water with 4 drops of peppermint EO is NOT clarifying! LOL

Champagne hair sounds like a very expensive way of washing your hair :p If there is champagne going, I would probably rather drink it.
Maybe it is a spoof article to see if anyone falls for it?

Town and Country is a "prestige" magazine, with its intended audience being essentially "having more money than sense". I don't doubt for a second that it's real.

[Islandgrrl]

Oh. Well. That's a whole lot of nonsense! :bull::bs::bull:

Flo Ziegfeld, the famous Broadway producer, insisted that his wife, actress Billie Burke (Glinda, Wizard of Oz fame) wash her red gold hair in champagne to bring out the highlights. Don't know whether she did or not. She had gorgeous red hair!

What a waste. If there is champagne in the house, it is going in my body, not on my hair!

:spitting:
I think the article said it all, when it mentioned the "I rinsed my hair with champagne" bragging rights" in the first paragraph - that's probably only real purpose of that "rinse".

However, I do wonder if the carbonation in champagne is the reason this idea is even around (I heard of this silly champagne rinse before).
Carbonated water (think club soda) is used as an at-home chelating rinse, so maybe they thought of taking it to the next level? :shrug:

Same here! :D If we had an LHC champagne party, it would be a waste to pour it on hair! Most of us would probably drink it! :beerchug: :hooched:

Sounds like an great way to charge uninformed people a great deal of money for not much......

Hahahha! If you replace the "rinse hair" part with "guzzle shamelessly," then this is my "secret" Friday night!

Behehe!
That said, some times last year I was given champagne (at a ball... oh dear, the stereotypes!! I swear it is the only ball I've been too and I'm not a ball person, and also a lightweight) and managed to spill some of it down myself. Should've aimed for the hair, clearly!

[Beckstar]

Well, I've never ever had it and I'll be darned if my hair will try it before I do. :)

[Sarahlabyrinth]

I won a bottle once but gave it away because I don't drink. Geez, if I had only known I could have poured it on my hair:)

[Nadine <3]

This was the most ridiculous thing I have ever read ehehe If I'm having champagne I'm drinking it, although I much prefer red wine... I bet you could get a nice red glow with that...lol

[Ferngear]

Actually.... I've have a book of "natural" (used loosely) homemade beauty and one of the recipes is a champagne rinse. I just loaned the book to a friend a few days ago or I'd look it up, but it involves a cup of champagne along with two or three other ingredients (maybe chamomile tea? I don't remember) as a rinse to bring out blonde highlights. I've never tried it because I don't have champagne laying around, but it is a real thing. The book is "Natural Beauty" by Elizabeth TenHouten.

[Ferngear]

...Which isn't to say that I think it works -- I don't know -- just that it's a real thing. It's supposed to bring out the shine in blonde hair or something. Why I don't know. Just that it's not a random post.

Of course the page to OP linked to also calls for a teaspoon of vanilla essential oil in the eggnog thingie. Do they mean vanilla extract? 'Cause actual vanilla essential oil (not in a carrier like jojoba) would not only be EXTREMELY expensive, but a teaspoon is really excessive for any essential oil recipe.

[Unofficial_Rose]

Like Ferngear, I have heard of this before. I agree with those who prefer to rinse their tonsils with it instead. :D

[lapushka]

Well, they say champagne is good for just about everything, so... ;)

I have always found this to be the case :toast:

[Chromis]

I was thinking the same thing! Of course, the trouble is that then I would smell like booze...which is why I also just give away beer even though everyone has heard of beer rinses!

[RachelRose]

Maybe this is my love of champagne or the fact that I'm pregnant and can't have any but I would drink my champagne with orange juice and not pour it on my head lol wasteful for shame lol

[vega]

This makes me thirsty just thinking about it

[MINAKO]

Im at my moms house and i know that she always keeps a bottle of thatstuff in case shes invited somewhere. i doubt it would be any better than molasses dilluted in plain old water tho... ah, people and their approach on being special, smh!

[Scarlet_Heart]

Ohh yea... alcohol on my hair. Genius.

[Johannah]

Going to try this today for sure. :whistle:

[MINAKO]

hahaha, what do you guys think would happen if moet made a haircare line as sephora exclusive?
basically that could be relabled pantene with one drop of champagne in it at ten times the price and some people would still buy it and claim it their holy grail. time to whip out the bedazzled GHD, lol.

:idea: Don't give them ideas! :lol: That's actually exactly how they make those products with caviar, crushed pearl and other "essences" at the bottom of the ingredients lists: the unicorn powder that explains the price differential! :magic:
