Navigating life with skin conditions, especially when they affect the scalp, can even turn a routine haircut into a challenge.
Living with a scalp condition adds complexity to routine haircuts, but the right hairdresser can make it a seamless experience
Stand tall.
You're not alone
There are many people out there who are going through the same skin conditions on their scalp.
For instance, it is estimated that approximately 80% of people with Psoriasis experience scalp involvement at some point during their lives1. Actinic Keratosis of the face and scalp is a fairly common condition2 as well as Atopic Dermatitis that indeed can affect the scalp too3. Take control of your condition and don’t let it control you. Always remember that your condition does not define you.
