Eat foods rich in vitamins and foilic acid. One of the major reasons for baldness is poor nutrition. Taking multivitamins daily (including vitamins B, C and E) and upping your amount of calcium and iron helps stop hair loss.

2
Massage your scalp. The act of massage promotes hair growth, because it stimulates the blood flow to the hair follicles. You or your partner can massage your scalp for a couple minutes a day, or you can purchase an electric massager. (Electric massagers are available at department stores and range in price.)

Use herbal remedies. Making your own herbal shampoo by boiling rosemary, sage, nettle, burdock and peach leaf can help make your hair healthier. Strain the mixture after it cools, and use it regularly to wash your hair.
Applying coconut milk to the scalp and massaging it into your roots also helps stimulate hair growth and prevents hair loss. (You can find coconut milk in the international section of your grocery store, or you can extract it from a coconut.)
