Here is Dr. Gary Null's take on hair loss:
Hair loss is usually caused by a diminishing supply of blood to the scalp, depriving hair follicles of the necessary nutrients and water to produce hair. Hormones, genetics and toxins from smoking and pollutants can influence the process. Male pattern baldness occurs when the enzyme 5-alpha reductase accumulates, turning testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. This latter substance reduces blood flow to follicles, retarding or stopping hair growth.
Minoxidil, the medical drug sold for hair loss, may not be the best choice to treat baldness. It comes with possible side effects, and may be hazardous for long-term use. When the drug is discontinued, any new hair that has grown falls out. Minoxidil also is usually ineffective for women.
A more natural way to encourage hair growth is a treatment called activated oxygenated serum (AOS). This is a combination of several ingredients including organic silica and activated oxygen that has been shown to increase blood flow in the scalp and support the structure of blood vessels feeding the follicles. A six-month study of 72 bald men conducted at the Hospital Saint Louis, in Paris, compared AOS with minoxidil. AOS was found to be just as effective as minoxidil in promoting new hair growth, thickening hair, and stopping hair loss, but without the side effects of the drug. AOS also did not cause seborrhea or dandruff, as do many topical applications. The benefits of AOS took effect within three months of use.
There are several dietary supplements believed to support hair growth and scalp health. These include: MSM and sulfur-rich amino acids that aid in building hair protein and maintaining healthy scalp capillaries; B vitamins, especially niacin, thiamin and biotin, that promote circulation; and flavonoids, antioxidants that may possibly promote hair growth. Natural topical treatments include algae oils that deactivate dihydrotestosterone; grape seed oil, an antimicrobial to encourage healing; and sunflower and safflower oils that supply fatty acids. Beneficial herbs include saw palmetto, which is thought to prevent conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone; gingko biloba, to increase circulation; and horsetail, which contains organic silica.

Interesting he didn't mention anything about Chlorophyll after he ranted and raved about how it must be the hidden factor to his own hair regrowth.
