Four Smoothies For Natural Hair Growth

You’ve probably heard that hair growth starts from within. Many factors contribute to hair growth, and one of the most overlooked factors is nutrition. Eating certain foods that contain plenty of vitamins and minerals can make your hair grow. So if you want your hair to be thicker, longer, and healthier, consider giving these smoothies a try.

  1. Mango strawberry smoothie

This smoothie contains high amounts of protein, vitamins, and nutrients to help you achieve shiny, enviable locks. It is particularly rich in vitamin A, which is an anti-hair loss ingredient that aids the secretion of sebum to keep your scalp healthy and in great condition. Other nutrients in this smoothie include vitamins C and E, potassium and omega fatty acids.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup frozen mangoes
  • 1 cup strawberries
  • 1 cup yogurt 1/3 cup walnuts
  • 1 cup
  • 1 tablespoon flax seeds
  • 4 large chard leaves, with stems trimmed

Preparation

Place all the ingredients into a blender and keep mixing until well-blended and creamy. Make sure there is adequate water to make the chard leaves puree more easily

 

  1. Sweet potato smoothie

Sweet potatoes come in different colors and sizes, but they all provide vital nutrients needed for hair growth. The biggest secret is its high levels of vitamin A, which doesn’t just boost your body’s immune system but also helps improve the scalp skin condition and promote hair growth. It is also packed with vitamins A, B6, C, and D, and is equally rich in iron, copper, zinc, calcium, niacin, potassium, and magnesium.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium-size banana
  • 1 small sweet potato (cooked)
  • 5 raw and shelled almonds
  • 1 scoop protein powder
  • Ice
  • 2 cups of almond milk (or more for desired consistency)

Preparation

Blend the ingredients until they reach your desired consistency. Once smooth, add the ice cubes and blend until they are totally broken down

 

  1. Avocado berry

Avocados are not only delicious; they are also great for maintaining your hair’s health. It is widely considered as one the most complete fruits because of the range of nutrients it offers. Avocadoes are a rich source of niacin (also known as vitamin B3), which improves blood circulation in the scalp. The fruit also contains a fatty acid called monounsaturated oleic acid that helps prevent brittle hair that breaks easily. Other nutrients in this smoothie include proteins, zinc, and vitamins C and E.

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup strawberries
  • 2 cups of spinach
  • 2 cups almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds

Preparation

In a blender, add all the ingredients and keep mixing until well-blended and creamy.

 

  1. Tropical turmeric smoothie

Known for its vibrant golden hue, turmeric is a spice that’s commonly used in curries and sauces. However, it can be beneficial for your locks, thanks to its active compound called curcumin, an anti-inflammatory property that helps to prevent the growth of TGF beta 1 that causes hair loss. It is also an effective detoxifier and can aid hair growth.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup kale
  • 1 cup pineapple
  • ½ apple
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • ½ tablespoon ginger for an extra kick (optional)

Preparation

Add everything in your blender and mix until it is smooth.
