Beyoncé Reveals She Suffers From Psoriasis While Reflecting On Her Hair Journey  • Hollywood Unlocked

Beyonce recently opened up about her hair journey and revealed that she suffers from Psoriasis. 

While speaking with Essence magazine for their March/April cover story and promoting her haircare line, Cécred, Beyonce shared the “beautiful memories” attached to her hair. “The relationship we have with our hair is such a deeply personal journey,” she told the news publication. “From spending my childhood in my mother’s salon to my father applying oil on my scalp to treat my psoriasis— these moments have been sacred to me.”

During the conversation, she also spoke about the importance of barber shops and hair salons. “The conversations and debates in the salons and barbershops create a sense of community for the people who look to it as a retreat from their everyday lives,” she continued. “For them, it’s a place to feel beautiful and vent, laugh, share secrets and pass down wisdom. It’s the most consistent community gathering we have. It’s so important that it’s a sanctuary.”

While reflecting on her previous experiences with hair Beyonce revealed that’s what helped her come up with the name of her new brand. 

“So I took the end of my name, Cé, and made it the beginning of the word sacred to create Cécred,” she said. “From my mother’s salon, daily rituals with my father, and years of experience in developing a hair care line, the journey has been just that: Cécred.”

If you remember back in 2013, Beyonce made the decision to chop her hair into a pixie cut, and during the interview, she opened up about that moment as well. “I love how we associate a certain hairstyle with moments in our lives, like that short-hair moment,” she said. “I remember the day I decided to just cut all my hair off. I didn’t have a particular style in mind. It wasn’t an aesthetic choice, but it was a very big emotional transformation and metamorphosis that I was going through.”

Scalp psoriasis is a common skin condition that affects the scalp and causes red, scaly patches to appear. It can be itchy, painful, and embarrassing for those who suffer from it. While there is no cure for scalp psoriasis, there are treatments available to help manage the symptoms and improve the condition of the scalp.

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to mistakenly attack healthy skin cells, leading to the rapid growth of new skin cells. This results in the formation of thick, red, scaly patches on the skin. When psoriasis affects the scalp, it can be particularly challenging to manage because the hair can make it difficult for topical treatments to penetrate the skin.

Common symptoms of scalp psoriasis include red, scaly patches on the scalp, itching, burning, and soreness. In severe cases, scalp psoriasis can also lead to hair loss. It is important for individuals with scalp psoriasis to seek treatment from a dermatologist to help manage their symptoms and prevent further complications.
