  Add more protein to your diet to stop hair loss. The hair follicles on your scalp are primarily made up of the protein called keratin. When you are deficient in that protein, hair loss can occur rapidly. Consume foods high in protein, including soybean products (tofu, soy milk), broccoli and beans.

  Drink at least two liters of water every day to help lessen hair loss. Increasing your water intake can help eliminate harmful toxins and disease-causing bacteria via your urine. When you consume more water, your body utilizes less energy to eliminate toxins and more energy can be focused on your scalp to help prevent hair loss.

  Take vitamin B6 supplements to stop hair loss. Vitamin B6 can help maintain skin, nails and hair. It is also vital for red blood cell (RBC) and protein metabolism. Take one 100mg tablet once a day, preferably with food.

  Maintain your iron levels to stop hair from falling out. Take non-prescription iron supplements from your local drug store or health food store. Your blood cells need and use iron to transport oxygen to your scalp, helping it to re-grow hair. Additionally, eat foods rich in iron, along with your iron supplements, including cashew nuts, wheat germ, lentils, bran flakes and soybeans.
