Protein. No lie, that is at the top of the list.

Hair loss is often tied to kidney depletion, or blood depletion, or heat accumulation, or dampness accumulation. If you can define which syndrome it is, there are therapies. But there cannot be 'one' plant therapy for four distinct syndromes. Note that two of these are deficiency, and two are excess. That would be the first assessment to make.
