Great day! Great day! Welcome to The Texture of Me®. I’m Dr. Tammy White-Jolivette, Founder and CEO—bringing 20+ years in cosmetology/hair education and my training as a clinical psychologist to bridge textured hair education and mental health. We provide continuing education for beauty professionals, resources that honor the care and cultural significance of textured hair, and clinical offerings through The Texture of Me Healing (telehealth therapy, coaching, and ADHD/executive functioning evaluations under supervision). At the center of our work is Post Traumatic Hair Syndrome® (PTHS®)—a framework exploring the connection between hair experiences, discrimination, hair loss, and wellbeing—supported by our ongoing research.
