The Good Hair Smoothie: Drink Your Haircare.
We’ve always said good hair starts from within—so this summer, we’re making that literally true.
Introducing The Good Hair Smoothie, a limited-edition collaboration between Samantha Cusick and our wellness-obsessed friends at Wild Nutrition. Available at Stā Caffeinated café in Liverpool Street from 22nd July until 30th September (or to make at home!), this beauty-boosting smoothie is more than just TikTok-pretty. It’s a powerhouse blend of nutrients designed to support healthy, shiny, thriving hair—from the inside out.
Why a Hair Smoothie?
Let’s face it: we’re all looking for those low-effort, high-reward rituals. And after chatting with Wild Nutrition’s team of experts, we realised something powerful—you can literally sip your way to stronger, shinier, healthier hair.
Whether you’re postpartum, in perimenopause, or just trying to bounce back from a stressful season (hello, hair shedding!), giving your hair the right nutrients matters. This smoothie is packed with hair-supporting goodness like biotin, vitamin C, omega fats, and Wild Nutrition’s Collagen 500 Plus—which we’ll get into in a second.
The Star Ingredient: Collagen
Collagen is the scaffolding of healthy skin, hair, and nails. And as we age, we naturally produce less of it—which can show up in everything from fine lines to thinning hair.
Wild Nutrition’s Collagen 500 Plus isn’t just any collagen. It’s sustainably sourced marine collagen, paired with biotin, vitamin C and E for extra glow-boosting power. Together, they help rebuild keratin (the protein your hair is made of), support collagen production, and protect hair follicles from oxidative stress.
Collagen helps make your hair stronger, shinier, and more resilient—which is exactly what we’re all after.

Why These Ingredients?
This isn’t just a pretty pink smoothie — every ingredient in The Good Hair Smoothie has been carefully chosen with hair health in mind. Think of it as a nutritionist-formulated love letter to your hair follicles.
Here’s the breakdown:
🍓 Strawberries & Raspberries
Packed with vitamin C, these berries help your body produce collagen (hello, bounce and shine) and boost iron absorption, which supports hair growth from root to tip.
🥥 Coconut Water
Hydration is key for a happy scalp and strong strands. Coconut water is full of natural electrolytes to keep your body (and your hair follicles) thriving.
🌱 Chia Seeds
These tiny seeds are a big deal. Loaded with omega fats, protein, and fibre, they help nourish your scalp and strengthen hair from the inside.
🍌 Banana
Rich in potassium and slow-burning carbs, banana brings the creamy texture and the energy. It’s like a hug for your hair (and your blood sugar).
🥒 Courgette
Yes, courgette. It’s subtle in taste but big on hydration and pre-biotic fibre, which supports gut health, and that, in turn, helps your body absorb the nutrients your hair needs to grow.
🌻 Sunflower Seeds
A great source of vitamin E, iron, and zinc, all vital for cell protection, hair growth, and repair.
🥄 Almond Butter
Delivers a trifecta of biotin, protein, and iron, essential for strengthening hair and preventing breakage. Plus: yum.
🥥 Coconut Yoghurt
Creamy, dairy-free, and full of healthy fats to support digestion and absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
✨ Wild Nutrition Collagen 500 Plus
The hero of the blend. Sustainably sourced marine collagen peptides, biotin, vitamin C, and vitamin E work together to rebuild, strengthen, and protect your hair at a cellular level.
