Patients with textured hair require specific products and practices to maintain scalp and hair health, including adapted washing frequency, moisturization, and hairstyle maintenance. However, inpatient psychiatric unit policies often restrict personal products due to safety and storage restrictions and may not otherwise supply appropriate alternatives. Summary: Without appropriate products, such as sulfate-free shampoos, leave-in conditioners, and moisturizing creams, inpatient psychiatric patients with textured hair are at risk of preventable complications, including seborrheic dermatitis, hair breakage, and traction alopecia. Because appearance and grooming are routinely assessed in psychiatric evaluations, inadequate hair care access may lead to misinterpretation of mental state, potentially delaying discharge and prolonging hospitalization. Additionally, inability to maintain one\u2019s hair during hospitalization may cause emotional and psychological distress. Key Messages: Improper access to textured hair care products represents an inequity of inpatient psychiatric care that should be addressed. This article highlights the clinical, dermatologic, and psychosocial consequences of inadequate textured hair care in inpatient psychiatric settings and proposes a model to address this disparity through safe, inclusive hair care resources and staff education. Lived experience was not involved. Future research should quantify the impact of these initiatives.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/sad\/aesag006","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,4]],"date-time":"2026-09-04T11:12:53Z","timestamp":1788520373000},"page":"1-1","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The
