I've been having a look round and found some advice that may be useful
If your scalp is highly inflamed when you want to color your hair, it’s probably a good idea to wait until your psoriasis calms down first.
The primary chemical in most dark hair dyes is paraphenylenediamine, or PPD, a substance that can be irritating to some psoriasis sufferers. Hair lighteners contain peroxide and bleaches, which can also cause irritation,
A PPD-free alternative to traditional hair dye is henna, a colorant that’s plant-based and turns hair red or reddish-brown. This may cause less irritation than regular dye. However, be sure to read the label closely before using any product — many products marketed as henna are actually “black henna,” which still contains PPD to produce a darkening effect. “There is a natural henna, which is more of a red color,”
Also test a small patch on your arm or scalp where it won't be too obvious and leave a couple of days if you get no reaction it should be safe to go ahead
