We all know about conditioning beer, but how about beer conditioner?
From here: http://www.squidoo.com/Hair-Conditioner
"Beer Conditioner

Pour a beer through your hair, let it sit for a few minutes, and then rinse it out. The proteins and sugars in the beer will help strengthen the keratin in your hair and give it shine. However, your hair will smell like beer, which can be a definite drawback."


... I'm not even sure that smelling like beer is a drawback ... IPA hair anyone? :)

More info here and here, so it's not just a one-off thing ... even SWMBO knew about it.
 
if its the protiens and sugaz, then perhaps a Wort conditioner would work better?

Maybe mash for 60 mins, then add your hair for 10, then mash out?
 
SWMBO said it was the proteins that are good, so it's ideal to use beer-dregs.

The last link in the first post suggests that alcohol and hops are also good for hair.
