According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, 47.6% of Black and Brown women experience hair loss due to stress and other medical conditions.
Stress affects hair loss through a complex interaction between the nervous system, endocrine system, and immune system. When under stress, the body releases hormones like cortisol, which can disrupt the normal hair growth cycle causing hair conditions such as Alopecia. Chronic stress is directly linked to various health issues, including hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and increased risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Addressing these stressors involves recognizing the challenges faced by Black and Brown women. Often experiencing unique and continuous stressors that impact their physical and mental health.
Free Your Scalp is an educational community that provides safe spaces for Black and Brown women to heal, learn, and connect. Through beauty education and promoting healthy living, we are dedicated to fostering growth and well-being, encouraging radical self-acceptance and empowerment.
Free Your Scalp, Inc. was founded to address the need for mindfulness and healthy living community programming for women of color.
The idea for Free Your Scalp, Inc. originated from a poll conducted at a local hair salon. We asked women about their hair care routines and how their hairstyles related to their self-image. The responses were varied, but one thing was clear: there was a significant need for more education about hair care and deeper conversations about self-image.
From this insight, Free Your Scalp, Inc. was born. Our mission is to provide a sacred space where women of color can receive practical tools, community support, and wellness programming. We aim to empower women to embrace their natural beauty and foster a healthy, positive self-image.
Free Your Scalp, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our mission is to empower Black and Brown women through beauty, wellness, and holistic health, fostering self- confidence and community well-being.”

Through education, support, and a nurturing community, Free Your Scalp, Inc. is dedicated to helping women of color heal and thrive.
