Tallulah Willis says she’d fragile hair that 'a thousand clippies could not hold'

She began her social media share by writing, “**TW: eating disorder hair loss** I wanna talk about when I was balding because of my severe anorexia. The first photos were taken in summer 2022 in Austin TX while I was at Driftwood recovery.”

“I want to talk about how for a long time in my life I would have seen those patches of bare skin blurring through sparse hairs as a badge of honor. ‘I was sick enough to make you look’,” she stated.

Tallulah further revealed that during that tough phase she “temporarily needed a wheelchair to walk because my leg muscles had atrophied so badly,” as she added that she’d “such breakable and fragile hair, so thinned I had to use thousand clippies to keep things in place. And usually they slipped off because they [had] nothing to grab into.”

Tallulah Willis claims she’s lucky to ‘made it to the other side’

“I chose to crop some of them because for me this truly isn't a stage to show off how I nearly starved to death (publicly!), but I think the photos serve as a teaching tool,” the actress mentioned.

Tallulah then went on to express her gratitude after her recovery.

She mentioned, “I went searching for the ‘AFTER’ pictures from the last few months and smiled the whole time. I didn’t realize how comforting a big bun could feel like, how sexy it feels when your hair bounces a little when you walk. I didn’t value myself or my health but I am the lucky one who has made it to the other side.”

Giving the reason why she went public about the battle and its effects, she asserted, “I made my disorder public and now it only feels right to make my recovery as well. I want to heal and hug and soothe every busy mind that’s out there still hurting. Keep going, I love u all.”
