Hello ClassicAim! Another reformed ED-er hereFirst off, many congrats on deciding to try to beat it. You can, you know!!
As for hair, what is said above is all very true. Unhealthy eating = less awesome hair. In my case (I never was very malnourished for a longer period, but more doing tricks with eating, so to speak) my hair wasn't what suffered most, but my overal health became really poor. I found it very confronting during recovery just how much my body had suffered and how much it was protesting against building up muscle and stamina again. That was really important for me at the time (becuse I loved my sports! Not because of ED related things) and it was a huge incentive for me to keep on eating normally and, in my case, unhealthy again! (....as I wasn't allowed to eat unhealthy things. Which is a very unhealthy thing in itself!)
So, I found that for me, too, focussing on letting my body flourish instead of tearing it down helped me getting my head straighter and helped me heal. I hope your hair cn do that for you too, without it becoming a redirected obsession.
Okay, that might have been slightly off topic, but I wanted to chime in, and I'm sending a ton of happy mental brainwaiviesenergy to you, and good luck with it all!
Edit: Oh and the hair DID become much nicer after all, too, it never did shed so muc but the healthier hair was so much stronger and less fruzzly, so! Compeletely forgot to add that hairy detail, on a hair board no less :0
