Likely: Psoriasis can be treated effectively and you should see a doctor, preferably a dermatologist who will treat your skin condition and advise using or not using agents to make your hair curly. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine

Not good idea: With psoriasis - as skin is dry and sensitive - use of harsch chemicals on scalp and skin is not good idea. it can worsen or agravate symptoms. Psoriasis likes " greasy skin" not dry up with colors and other teartment . Consult your dermatologist if specific concern .
