Where textured hair, identity, education, and healing meet.
The Texture of Me® didn't start the conversation — the community was already having it. We gave it a name, a framework, and a home.
We are a textured hair and mental health education company — and the home of Post Traumatic Hair Syndrome® (PTHS®), coined and trademarked by Dr. Tammy White-Jolivette, and The Texture of Me Healing™, our clinical telehealth practice.
From creating the first Continuing Education credit for textured hair in the country to building a movement now recognized by dermatologists nationwide — everything we do is rooted in one truth:
Your hair is connected to your identity, your culture, and your mental health. And all three deserve expert care.
Community
The Texture of Me® has built more than a community — we have built a movement. A space where people with textured hair come to learn, heal, and be seen. Through YouTube, podcasts, workshops, online forums, and social media, we bring together beauty professionals, mental health advocates, and everyday people who understand that hair is never just hair. Our community is proof that when education and emotional well-being meet, real transformation happens.
Education
Textured hair education that goes beyond technique. Created by Dr. Tammy White-Jolivette — Hair Psychologist™, 20+ year cosmetologist, and creator of the first Continuing Education credit for textured hair in the country — our training and learning tools help beauty professionals build deeper knowledge, stronger confidence, and truly inclusive practice.
Post-Traumatic Hair Syndrome® Research Study
Awareness without action changes nothing. At The Texture of Me®, we go further — advancing research, education, and advocacy at the intersection of textured hair, identity, bias, trauma, and mental health. Every conversation we have, every professional we train, every person we reach moves us closer to a world where hair is never a source of discrimination or shame. Join us in making that world real. 💛Click here to donate and support the PTHS® Research Study.
