Beyoncé is getting candid with fans about her struggle with psoriasis. The Grammy winner and style icon, 42, sat down with Essence for a new interview and discussed her battle with the disease while also promoting her long-awaited new haircare line, Cécred.
“The relationship we have with our hair is such a deeply personal journey,” the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer told the outlet for its new cover story. She added: “From spending my childhood in my mother’s salon to my father applying oil on my scalp to treat my psoriasis, these moments have been sacred to me.”
The “16 Carriages” artist also shared her motivations for venturing into the haircare industry, expressing her belief that beauty salons serve as a sanctuary where women can experience their highest level of confidence and self-assurance.
“The conversations and debates in the salons and barbershops create a sense of community for the people who look to it as a retreat from their everyday lives,” Beyoncé continued.
