anorexia/hair growth
i was diagnosed with anorexia back in october
(it went undiagnosed for a few months)
basically ever since then, my weight and eating habits have been better, but im still no where near normal.
however i noticed that my hair never seems to grow
i tried trimming the dead ends, but it hasn't helped
i take a few multi vitamins
and yes i know the malnutrition is probably what causes this
but does anyone know if i can do anything to make it grow a little more?
it also falls out pretty easily in the shower

Maybe give some free advice about: Health?
As you have probably figured out, your hair reacts to what is going on with your body. If your body is sick or stressed, even mentally, it affects your hair health too.
It usually takes 2-3 months after a illness for hair loss to show up. In reverse, it takes 2-3 months after getting well for your hair to start getting healthy again. As you gradually get well, your hair will too.
Your hair will of course grow quicker when it is healthier. The avg person can grow their hair about 6 inches per year. As far as a trick, pill, or diet for "instant hair growth", there isn't any.
Cutting hair from the ends may make your hair look neater, nicer, and keep the split end away, but it does not stimulate growth.
Good luck in getting well again.
