People lose about one hundred hairs each day. Because hair is made of many nutrients, those nutrients need to be replenished in the body in order for hair to grow. Hair contains protein, fat, water, and carbohydrates. Foods to prevent hair loss can be found in oats, molasses, liver, and whole grains. Because water is comprised of water, it is important to stay hydrated to stimulate proper hair growth. Hair growth is conditioned on genetics. Hair loss increases with age, but proper nutrition can help prevent hair loss, thinning hair and balding.
Silica
Silica makes hair shiny and prevents hair from thinning. It is found naturally in oats, nettles and alfalfa. An easy way to add silica to the diet is by drinking nettle tea.
Protein
Because it is a component of hair, protein deficiency can cause hair loss. This is especially true for vegetarians or those on a reduced protein diet. Add protein by adding meat or fermented soy products to the diet.
Molasses Grows Hair
The Chinese have used molasses to grow hair. It can be used as a hair rinse or taken internally. To apply, add one spoon of molasses to a cup of warm water and massage into the hair. Make sure to completely cover the roots, as that is where the hair follicles stimulate hair growth. After a half an hour, rinse off and then shampoo as usual.
Inositol
Inositol is one of the B vitamins and is found in organ foods such as liver and kidneys. Inositol is considered one of the main nutrients to spur hair growth and prevent balding.
Para-Aminobenzoic Acid
Para-Aminobenzoic Acid, known by its abbreviation, PABA, is another B vitamin. Deficiency of PABA has been shown to cause hair to turn grey. Hair color can be returned by adding PABA to the diet. PABA and folic acid combine to help hair grow. PABA is found naturally in whole grains and yeast as well as in organ meats such as liver and kidney.
Herbs to Help Grow Hair
Rosemary, thyme and lavender help grow hair and prevent hair thinning and balding. The essential oils can be massaged into the hair after shampooing. Herb tea made from these herbs can also help grow hair, but more indirectly.
Vitamin E Prevents Hair Loss
Because vitamin E encourages circulation in the body and helps grow new blood vessels, vitamin E also grows hair. Research has shown that applying vitamin E to the hair follicles prevents hair loss and balding. To apply, open a capsule of vitamin E and massage into the scalp.

How to Use Lavender to Treat Hair Loss
http://www.ehow.com/how_2119611_use-lavender-treat-hair-loss.html
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease in which the hair follicles are rejected as foreign objects by the body. As a result, hair loss occurs. People who have alopecia can use a combination of essential oils, including lavender, to treat their hair loss.
Things You'll Need
Lavender essential oil
Thyme essential oil
Cedarwood essential oil
Instructions
1 Use a small bowl to mix the essential oils required for the hair tonic. You will need 3 drops of lavender, thyme, cedarwood and rosemary essential oils.
2 Add 1/8 cup of jojoba oil and 1/8 cup of grapeseed oil. These oils are the carrier oils. Carrier oils deliver the essential oils' healing properties to the scalp without irritating it.
3 Mix all the oils thoroughly. Their scents will start to permeate the air.
4 Use an eyedropper to gather up a few drops of the hair tonic. Put it in your hair. You may want to do this over a sink so you do not drip on yourself.
5 Massage the lavender oil mixture into your scalp for 3 to 5 minutes each night. Pay special attention to bald patches but apply to your entire scalp.
6 Wash your hands well with soap and water after applying the oil.
7 Wrap your head in a towel or spread a towel over your pillow to avoid getting the oil on your bedclothes.
8 Keep the oil in a tightly closed container. Store it in a cool, dry place.
9 Examine the results. Essential oils stimulate the senses and the hair follicles. Some people report a slower rate of hair loss from using lavender oil, while others report new hair growth as well.
