I would stay away from St. John's Wart. I have read a few times that is can cause infertility in women. I would rather lose my hair, I can wear a wig.

How did I miss this thread when it first came up?? Ok, I'm a few days behind but yes, I shed like crazy! I was always told I shed hair when I was younger but never believed it until I went to someone else's house and noticed my hair all over their white kitchen floor. I have long straight coarse black hair. It's pretty hard to miss that. My DH even forbids me to use his hairbrush because then he ends up with long strands of black hair on his head (that does look pretty funny) that he has to pick out. And yes... I've seen it in the dog's.. uh.. undigested items. My hair also gets blamed for clogging the shower's drain. Hair shedding is just part of the natural cycle of a hair follicle. I just accept it (and pick up a lot of hair when housecleaning.)

I have fine hair, but a ton of it, and it's down to my waist. I shed so much that we have to use Liquid Plumr Professional Strength on the bathroom shower drain once a week to keep from having standing water in the shower.

But, that will hopefully end this weekend with a haircut!!! If my guy can get me on his schedule tomorrow.

My hair grows s-l-o-w ... but I still shed a lot too. I also put in temporary extensions every now and then so when I take them out, I lose a bit more hair as well.

I shed and shed and shed. between me, the two kitties, and Chloe (our dog). Our place is covered in hair. I hate it when I wear black and every so often someone picks hair off of me because i'm usually oblivious.
