“The courage to share her struggles proves why she’s truly one of a kind!” 💔😨 Beyoncé opens up for the first time about a secret childhood illness that almost shattered her self-confidence 💥🙈 Read the full story in the article 👇
A true symbol of femininity and elegance, Beyoncé recently shared with Essence magazine that she has been living with an illness since childhood that could have severely impacted her self-confidence. For the first time ever, the singer spoke about how her father helped treat her condition.
In an interview published on February 17, 2024, Beyoncé, who is currently promoting her hair care line Cecred, disclosed that she has been silently dealing with psoriasis for years, since she was a child.
Despite being known for her signature voluminous hair, Beyoncé explained that she frequently experiences flare-ups of psoriasis, a chronic skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches. The Ameli website describes it as an accelerated renewal of skin cells, often seen in those with a genetic predisposition.
While discussing her brand and the significance of hair in expressing femininity, she opened up about her father’s support: “I have so many beautiful memories connected to my hair. Our connection with our hair is an intimate and personal experience. I remember my childhood days spent in my mother’s hair salon, and my dad applying oil to my scalp to soothe my psoriasis. These were sacred moments for me,” she shared.
On the music front, Beyoncé is currently making waves with her hit single “Texas Hold ‘Em.” BFMTV reports that Beyoncé, mother of Blue Ivy and twins Sir and Rumi, has made history as the first Black woman to lead the American country music charts—an area typically dominated by white, conservative artists. Her hit “Texas Hold ‘Em,” released on February 11, is being hailed as a groundbreaking milestone.
