About "The Texture of Me"
The Texture of Me® is the company that changed the conversation. We are a textured hair and mental health education company — and the home of Post Traumatic Hair Syndrome® (PTHS®), the first trademarked psychodermatology specialty in the country, and The Texture of Me Healing™, our clinical telehealth practice. From creating the first Continuing Education credit for textured hair to building a framework 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 both deserve expert care.

Great day! Welcome to The Texture of Me®. I'm Dr. Tammy White-Jolivette - Hair Psychologist™, Founder, and CEO. I combined 20+ years in cosmetology with my clinical psychology training to create something that didn't exist: a home where textured hair and mental health are treated as one. We offer continuing education for beauty professionals, culturally affirming resources, and clinical services through The Texture of Me Healing™ — all grounded in Post Traumatic Hair Syndrome® (PTHS®), a specialty I coined and trademarked, now embraced within the growing field of psychodermatology and supported by ongoing research.
