Hairloss help!

I have had an Anorexia for 14 years and been on an up and down journey. One thing that is increasingly getting me down is the hair loss. Does anyone have any recommendations (besides increasing intake) to how to increase hair growth? Tried and tested only please. I feel like such a freak.

There’s no short cut OP

Your hair needs the nutrients from food in order to grow.

basically your body is prioritising keeping you alive and hair thickness doesn’t contribute to that

I'm sorry @ashamed242 but it's exactly what culture says.

Are you getting any support right now?
