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.
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.
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.
It doesn't really seem to be affected by anything much. Prescription corticosteroids made it mostly go away for a while, but it returned larger. Birch tar shampoo helped with the itch, but people around me very clearly didn't like when I used it. I don't know if I am the only weird person liking the smell of burnt wood, but yeah, it's quite strong.
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.
I went through I think a couple of years where I used exclusively Dr. Bronner‘s. But I got tired of smelling like a mint all the time. And it doesn’t taste great when you use it as toothpaste.

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.

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 apparently used the fucking laundry detergent.

Out of liquid shower soap? No problem we got some of that carpet cleaner stuff.

REI sells a liquid that pretty much does this for when you go camping.

Are you talking about Dr Bronns, which also comes with large amounts of reading material printed all over the bottle?

Dr. Bronners is goated. Best soap

No, it was something else I’ve never heard of, geared specifically towards camping.

I use Dr. Bronners hemp peppermint for everything. Soap, shampoo, toothpaste, dish soap, dog shampoo, hell, I once washed my car with it.
Ok, so I only use it as toothpaste while camping, but still, I could.

The other smells are wonderful too. I really like the rose and the lavender
RedMari@reddthat.com · 1 pts · 269d
They make toothpaste too.

What about the laundry? Can I use it as well?

If it's Dr. Bronner's? Yes.
