I've made two posts on Peatarian.com about this topic, and it'd be easier to just read my original posts there.

Basically, zinc and B6 in combination should inhibit 5ar (and thus DHT). This treats hair loss.
However, 5ar also synthesizes neuroprotective hormones. A common symptom of finasteride (which reduces 5ar) is brain fog.
If zinc and B6 inhibit 5ar in a similar fashion, using these as a natural hair loss therapy may also be undesirable.
