My Ayurvedic hair smoothie is the secret to tumbling locks at 41 – and uses an ‘anti-aging powerhouse’
ANCIENT wisdom is the secret behind one woman's tumbling locks at 41.
She has a headful of glossy, bouncy hair, and she puts it down to her Ayurvedic hair smoothie.
It is packed full of goodness, including an "anti-aging powerhouse."
Ranavat (@ranavat), who has 74,000 TikTok followers, is inspired by her Indian background when it comes to her beauty tips.
In this post, she shares the secret behind her glorious mane.
“Your royal ritual for skin and hair. Proven by science. Rooted in ritual," she said.
“This powerful hair smoothie is my secret to healthy hair at 41."
She swore by this recipe, which contained “no dairy, no refined sugar, and tastes really good."
Ranavat considered her concoction to be a "powerful hair growth smoothie for stronger, longer, hair.”
There was a lot of goodness packed into this drink.
What you will need:
- Chia seeds
- Flax seeds
- Sunflower seeds
- Pumpkin seeds
- Lotus seeds
- Almonds
- Dates
Why you need them:
- Chia seeds - contain amino acids to prevent hair thinning
- Flax seeds - increase circulation and prevent breakage
- Sunflower seeds - a great source of iron
- Pumpkin seeds - contain oleic and linoleic acid
- Lotus seeds - high in magnesium and protein
- Almonds - an "anti-aging powerhouse" for your hair
- Dates - contain iron and are great for circulation
First, she roasted each ingredient to "release the oils and make them more effective."
She admitted to having a favorite ingredient. The lotus seed.
“It is high in protein, and magnesium and helps strengthen your hair," she said.
