 I have now read on several websites that soy helps with people who have hairloss.
Something about how soy mimics the female hormone estrogen and actually blocks DHT testosterone which is a big cause of hairloss.
I reason,that even if this isnt true,soy is a natural source of protein so must be good for hair.
Just thought I's share.It might be worth a try!

hi! i've read some articles on the benefits of soy milk, and i came across one which says that soy, although no good studies support this finding, can be beneficial for hair as it is rich in proteins essential for keeping hair healthy.
 
it is indeed worth the try.. soy milk is not only good for keeping hair healthy and hopefully helping out with hair loss, it is also rich in fiber and can keep cholesterol levels down.

A year ago I suffered from hair loss too and I started trying everything you can imagine to stop my hair loss.
the things that really worked for me was:

1) Vitamin A - an anti-oxidant which promotes healthy production of sebum in the scalp;

2) Vitamin E stimulates circulation. Good blood circulation in the scalp is important in keeping hair follicles productive. The 'B' vitamins contribute to melanin, which gives hair its healthy color and also stimulates blood circulation;

3) massage is also beneficial. Massage stimulates circulation. As already noted, good circulation in the scalp keeps hair follicles active. Experts suggest a few minutes of daily head massage by hand. Circulation through massage may be improved by using a few drops of lavender or bay essential oil in an almond or sesame oil base with massage;

4) Try rubbing your scalp with garlic juice, Onion Juice or Ginger Juice(you can either of one out of three, Do not mix any of two or three);

5) also I used herbal treatment - I think it is very important!

It enhances hair growth by blocking DHT (Dihydrotestostrone) - a major cause of hair loss!

good luck!
