There is no easy cure for hair loss, no matter what people tell you.  Many natural treatments do work; you will have to try them for yourself to know exactly what will work best for you.  Here are a few natural remedies to hair loss that you may want to try.

1.  Aloe Vera - This has been used by both Native Americans and also the peoples of the Caribbean to help with promoting healthy hair and to prevent hair loss.  It does this by helping to heal the scalp and balances the pH level.  A common way to use this is to combine it with some coconut milk and a bit of wheat germ oil and use it as a shampoo.

2.  Henna - this is a traditional herb used by the Indian people as a natural conditioner, it has the added benefit of helping to maintain healthy hair.  It works to help protect the hair from breaking and loss of shine; it does this by healing the shafts.

3.  Polysorbate-80 - This is an FDA Approved food additive and surfactant.  This is not proven but it is said to help with removing cholesterol and DHT from the scalp.  How you would do this is to apply it 15 minutes before you are going to shampoo your hair.

4.  Detoxification or Cleansing - This can be beneficial in that it helps to remove toxins that are present in the body.  This in turn will help to provide a more optimal hair growth environment.

5.  Psyllium Husk - We all know that fiber is vital to proper colon health and is crucial to making the digestive system work how it is supposed too.  This is considered to be a bulking laxative agent that will help to safely remove the waste that has built up in the colon.

6.  Exercise - This is important for helping to keep the body healthy.  This works indirectly to help grow hair by increasing blood flow around the body and also helps with digestion of foods.  Even though it is indirect, it still helps keep the hair follicles healthy.

All of these are only a few of the many natural remedies to hair loss that you will find.  Some are very easy to do and others can be messy and harder to use on a regular basis.  If you decide to use any of these methods, you should do them along side a longer-term treatment such as a supplement for a diet change.
