Scalp psoriasis is a skin disorder that results in the production of extra skin cells, which build up in thick red scaly patches on the scalp. This condition happens when the immune system is functioning improperly, so that white blood cells attack healthy cells as if they were infected. New skin cells are produced to replace the ones that get attacked, but at a much faster than normal rate.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, about 50% of people with psoriasis develop scales on their scalp. These scales are often very itchy and excessive scratching can lead to bleeding. Hair loss is not a direct result of psoriasis, but it is a side effect of the scratching and stress that comes along with it.

How Hair Flair can help with your scalp psoriasis
People with scalp psoriasis are usually embarrassed about their condition and do everything they can to hide it. They try hats and head scarves and wigs, but at the end of the day when the accessories come off, the psychological impact of seeing those red, dry scales on their scalp renews the stress that exacerbates hair loss.
Depending on the severity of the psoriasis condition, our Nano-Link extensions and a human hair topper are excellent options that can hide the scales and allow time for psoriasis treatments to take effect, while reducing the amount of psychological stress usually associated with the condition. Nano-link extensions are the smallest and lightest hair extensions on the market, and were created specifically with medical hair loss in mind. |
Our tiny Nano-link extensions are attached almost unnoticeably even to very thin hair, and can be used for up to a year (with regular maintenance appointments). Because our extensions are so light, and because they are installed and maintained by trained professionals, they will not damage even the most fragile hairs.
We also offer top closure hair pieces which install in seconds and will make a seamlessly drastic improvement on the look of the hair on the top and front of your head. The combination of extensions and a topper will give you such a full head of beautiful hair that, instead of averting their eyes, people will be complementing you! All of our products are made of top-quality human hair with cuticles intact for the most natural look possible. |
