There are plenty of changes you can make to your diet to help improve your hair health, and stave off hair loss. One of the best natural hair loss treatments is simply to have a healthy diet. A healthy diet should have a balanced ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Omega-3 is usually found in fish, and some nuts. Omega-6 is found in red meat. A healthy diet should include between 2-4 times more omega-6 that omega-3, but for many western countries this balance can be up to 25 times more omega-6 than 3. You can work towards redressing this balance by including fish in your diet more often, particularly tuna, salmon, mackerel or sardines, and by cutting back on the serves of red meat you eat every week. There are lots of other foods that can help provide the vitamins and minerals you need for hair growth.

Other good foods for natural hair loss treatment are:

• Brown rice, peas, oats, sunflower seeds, walnuts, lentils and soybeans. These are good sources of biotin.
• Beans, carrots, cauliflower, bran, eggs and nuts – all good sources of B vitamins. Another good source of B vitamins is brewers yeast, as an alternative to a tablet.
• Dairy, whole grains, pumpkin seeds, meat. All good sources of zinc.
• Tomato, spinach and almonds are good sources of vitamin E.

There is some common ground in this list so far. By just including some obviously healthy foods in your diet like green leafy vegetables, whole grains and pulses, and eggs, dairy and lean meat in moderation, you will be increasing your health overall and increasing your intake of hair strengthening vitamins and minerals. A simple natural hair loss treatment but an effective one!
