Post Traumatic Hair Syndrome® (PTHS®) is a clinical and cultural framework created by Dr. Tammy White-Jolivette to describe the emotional and psychological effects of repeated hair-related trauma, discrimination, bias, and hair loss. Through The Texture of Me®, this work advances education, research, and advocacy, while The Texture of Me Healing™ extends the mission through culturally responsive therapy, coaching, evaluations, and healing-centered support. Together, they create lasting change at the intersection of hair, identity, and mental health.
