In this article, we look at ways in which smoothies can benefit your hair. Smoothies can help boost the speed, strength and condition of hair, and here's how...

Drinking smoothies can help grow your hair. Smoothies are made of natural ingredients like veggies, fruits, nuts, and seeds, which are rich in vitamins and minerals. Consuming food sources of nutrients strengthens the hair roots and reduces the need to take medicinal supplements.

Smoothies can promote hair growth and slow the natural process of hair loss, if the smoothie you make includes certain ingredients. The advantage of smoothies is that you can easily blend a ton of ingredients that provide the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients needed for healthy hair growth.

If you know what foods and nutrients benefit your hair, then you can easily assemble a smoothie that helps prevent hair loss, and boosts the formation of healthy hair growth.

Here are some typical smoothie ingredients that benefit the hair...

Coconut - Coconut oil may have several benefits for your hair and scalp. Using it as a hair mask and leave-in treatment may help moisturize and seal hair. This can help prevent a dry, flaky scalp and dandruff, as well as split ends and hair breakage.

Spinach - Spinach is a healthy green vegetable that's loaded with beneficial nutrients like folate, iron, and vitamins A and C, all of which are important for hair growth. Studies suggest vitamin A is important for hair growth. But supplementing with too much vitamin A can actually lead to hair loss.

Banana - Bananas contain silica, a mineral element that helps your body to synthesize collagen and may make your hair stronger and thicker. Bananas also have antimicrobial properties that can heal flaky and dry scalp, relieving dandruff symptoms.

Berries - Blueberries, Strawberries, Raspberries, Blackberries – There is no other fruit that match this super fruit when it comes to nutrient power that encourages healthy hair growth. Rich in vitamin C, berries feed hair follicles and promotes blood circulation on the scalp.

Mango - More than any other fruit, mangos offer a hair growth trifecta: Vitamin E, which improves circulation in the scalp, promoting hair growth. Vitamin C, which promotes collagen production. And Vitamin A, which helps to naturally condition your scalp, for stronger, shinier hair.

Kale - While there aren't a lot of clinical studies proving such, based on the biochemical composition of kale—namely it's high in quercetin, vitamin C, folates, and other minerals—it can be deduced that kale extract can potentially help promote hair growth.

If you're not a smoothie fan, then there are alternative ways to get nutrients to your hair. Multivitamin hair supplements would be your best option. Supplementing your hair can help reduce the effects of excessive shedding and promote the function of healthy hair growth.
