I will have to try your recipe. As with yourself and your other commentators, I also miss Body On Tap. I guess us fine-haired gals who grew up in the late-70s got spoiled (and I see a few who are also from Pennsylvania/Pittsburgh - I have never been able to style my hair when I live in PA)! I looked it up on the internet and Wikipedia says that it is still sold through the Vermont Country Store. It is currently not in stock (it doesn't say why, or if it is gone forever), but as you said, it's $14.95. I find it highly interesting that one woman here says she has had it recently in South Africa! Thanks so much for creating it in your home/lab! Also, Vermont Country Store has "Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific," Lemon Up," and their own knock-off of Herbal Essences. Why is it that they take popular and successful products out of production? It is madness. Thanks again!

THE BEST SHAMPOO ON THE WORLD, I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS 18 OLD YEARS, THE FRAGANCE I NEVER FORGOT THAT AROMA I WANT IT AGAIN.

I have done this with both shampoo and conditioner, and it works. I try to pick a shampoo without a strong scent to it, so that the scent of the beer comes through (Suave works well, and also cheap like V05. You can use a cheap shampoo, the beer makes up for it, conditioning wise). I tried many brands of beer, couldn't find the right smell, until my dad suggested I try a malt liquor type of beer. I tried Mickeys, in the green bottle, and it came pretty close to the smell. Not perfect, but pretty good. I too loved that scent, used to drive boyfriends crazy with how good my hair smelled. Good luck, I hope someone has great success replicating this scent. It was one of a kind.

BODY ON TAP BRING IT BACK ! IN MY OPINION IT WAS THE BEST SMELLING SHAMPOO EVER. IT MADE MY HAIR SHINE AND SMELL SOOOO GOOD. I OPEN EVERY SHAMPOO BOTTLE MADE HOPING FOR SOMETHING THAT SMELLS CLOSE. I TRIED THE SHAMPOO AND BEER MIXING THING IT WORKS , BUT I MISS THE FRAGRANCE !

THE SMELL, yes I will try the recipe for the body and shine and thank you for taking the time to finalize the a good recipe. BUT, does ANYBODY ever found a shampoo that put out an aroma like Body on Tap? Im with the one who had complete strangers who used to come up and ask what kind of shampoo I used. Could you imagine smelling that aroma again? It would bring us all back 30 years. I would just love to know what the single one ingrediant that made it such a strong,wonderful fragrant. I do know that 1/3 of it was beer, so if anyone just.had an old bottle?To the one who used to live in Africa, they no longer make it like the original with beer. The name was bought and a new formula was made. Does the new one have the very strong fragrance? If so, we could buy it from Africa by the case(maybe cheaper that way)and use it in the recipe above???what do you all think?

This was the most awesome shampoo. I used it in the early 80's and it drove guys nuts! Everyone asked me what I used on my hair, not only did it look good but the smell really mad guys go crazy. I'd have strangers come up to me and ask what kind of shampoo I used. I'm going to try this... hope I get the same results!!

thank you so much! I used that shampoo only once in my life, when I was 19. I am now 35, and still searching for it!!! I remember it cuz it made my fine limp hair full of body and bounce. They should bring it back...

hummm, i landed on this site because i was mourning the loss of Body on Tap shampoo which I used when I lived in South Africa a year ago. Its easy to find over there. Needless to say, thanks for the recipe. I'd love to try it!
