    I’m surprised she didn’t avoid food or water for a bit. Maybe they miscalculated what the final weight would be

      She did. If you read the article they had to give her IV fluids after failing to qualify because she was dehydrated.

      I’m wondering if she just cut her hair, or shaved her head completely.

      She did. She was 2kg over the day before and went on an extreme dehydration and exercise protocol to try to drop down. She missed the cutoff but was so badly dehydrated that she needed IV fluids.
