Well, yeah, mine looks like crap, but I don’t have the time to care, and the long hair hides the large patch of psoriasis on the back of my neck.

From experience, I can tell you this is actually short haired vs long haired people. You can’t really grow out your hair without the ends going to shit if you mistreat it.

Even literally just using the right shampoo as opposed to something like body wash can make a big difference, in case you’re interested

But I don’t even know what that means. Hell, in the past I even used soap bar for the hair.
My father apparently used to get his hair complimented, he used apparently used the fucking laundry detergent.

If you’re talking about a “large patch of psoriasis” that is apparently always on your skin and don’t know the first thing about cleaning and moisturizing products for your hair and skin, it might be worth exploring whether your psoriasis is aggravated by certain substances (including your hair touching your skin) and can be mitigated by consciously avoiding certain products/ingredients.

Find out what your hair ‘needs’. Is it dry and kinda straw like? Are the tips frayed? Does it poof up? Does it frizz, ie are there many stray hairs flying around?
In general though, hydrating shampoo helps with growing out unless you have suuuuper oily hair, in which case you should use a clarifying shampoo, but only rub it onto your scalp.

When I grew my hair out for the first time I mentioned to a woman that it was so much more work than I thought it would be.
She said “what you have to shampoo and condition now?”
I had no idea how important conditioning was, I could run a comb through my hair again without pulling half of it out after conditioning for the first time. The 2 in 1 mens shampoo did not work.
