Blacks comprise a phenotypically heterogeneous group with respect to skin and hair. They are uniquely multihued with at least 35 different possible shades of pigmentation, and there is considerable variability in hair texture. This accounts for many of the unique skin and hair cosmetic requirements and customs in the black race. These grooming practices may present perplexing problems for the dermatologist when viewed in the context of resultant skin disease; therefore, an awareness and understanding of skin and hair products used by blacks, grooming techniques, and their consequences are essential for clinicians caring for black patients.
就皮肤和头发而言，黑人是一个表型异质的群体。他们具有独特的多种肤色，至少有35种不同的色素沉着深浅变化，并且头发质地差异很大。这就导致了黑人种族在皮肤和头发美容方面有许多独特的需求和习俗。从由此引发的皮肤疾病角度来看，这些美容做法可能给皮肤科医生带来棘手的问题；因此，对于诊治黑人患者的临床医生来说，了解和认识黑人使用的皮肤和头发护理产品、美容技巧及其后果至关重要。
