crash diets and hair loss

Hi everyone! I’m new here just stumbled upon the website actually but found it useful. About four years ago I was young and stupid and went on a crash diet where I ate pretty much nothing for about 5 months. I lost a lot of weight, so much so that I was anorexic, but that wasn’t all I had lost. I had very long thick hair and after I quit the diet and started eating I had a lot of hair loss. I still have rather nice hair but it doesn’t seem to be growing any longer or thicker. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi gossipqueen, welcome :)

This may give  you some hope....I lost quite a lot of hair after the births of my children (3 births).  I kept shedding for about 14 months after my last baby and have only just stopped.  My hair is now growing back thicker and stronger than ever.  I had bad hair for almost 4 years, but now it's finally recovered.

I hope your hair sorts itself out soon!

All the best
