The Truth About Humulus Lupulus (HOPS) in Shampoo…
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Most people know the plant Humulus Lupulus also known as HOPS because it is the main ingredient in beer. You maybe didn’t know that it is a semi-common ingredient in shampoos. I am researching shampoo ingredients in the quest to find the ultimate best, most efficient shampoo.
HOPS is a perennial plant with sends shoots out in the early spring. It dies back in autumn. The shoots grow clockwise around anything they can reach. Another interesting fact is that HOPS are naturally antibacterial.
There is no real research done on this plant to tell you what properties it brings into your shampoo (at least that I can find) or what the benefits of it are. Most of the shampoos that contain this plant advertise shine, so I am going to assume that the HOPS will add shine to your hair. It does however seem funny to me that the main ingredient in beer will add shine to your hair.
So there you have it, beer adds shine and is a natural unproven product in a lot of shampoos.

Sergeant Brian Horn from LaPlata, Maryland, an Army Infantry Soldier with the 173rd Airborne Brigade was in the Kirkuk area of Iraq when he started the idea of Any Soldier® to help care for his soldiers. He agreed to distribute packages that came to him with “Attn: Any Soldier” in his address to soldiers who didn’t get mail.
Brian later completed a tour in Afghanistan and is now home, but AnySoldier.com continues larger then ever.

There is plenty of “Support Our Troops” merchandise. The truth is, that buying most of it does not directly impact, in a positive way, US troops. Here is the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) found at the Any Soldier site.
