  Determine the cause of the baldness. While diet and good health may help, there may be many contributing factors. Causes range from poor diet to lack of exercise to genetics and even to cancers. In the case of cancer, hair will usually grow back after chemotherapy is completed. Genetic baldness is not controlled by lifestyle, but baldness caused by poor diet or lack of exercise is controllable.

  Add exercise. Anyone who is not exercising regularly should start adding some exercise to his daily routine. According to Natural Home Remedies, exercise promotes good hormone release to the body while getting rid of toxins in the body, which results in healthy skin and hair.

  Eat fruits and vegetables. A healthy body results in a healthier appearance. Fruits and vegetables will improve skin and hair, while too few fruits and vegetables in a diet may result in hair loss and skin problems. Skin problems contribute to hair loss because unhealthy skin on the scalp can damage the hair follicles. For most diets, around five to eight fruit and vegetable servings a day is recommended.

  Avoid chemicals. Use an herbal shampoo and conditioner that is free of chemicals, avoid hair color, perms or any other chemical treatment. Chemicals added to the scalp can damage the skin and hair follicles, which results in hair loss.

  Talk to a doctor. Genetics or hormone changes that cause baldness require medical remedies. Talking to a doctor can result in plans to regulate the hormones in the body or can result in medicines that help hair regrow.
