The hair follicle and shaft in blacks have unique configurations. The occurrence of certain disorders such as hot-comb and traction alopecia, proximal trichorrhexis nodosa, trichonodoses, and pseudofolliculitis predominantly among blacks is related to the morphology as well as methods of caring for black hair. In addition, there are several disorders of unknown etiology such as dissecting cellulitis that also occur primarily in blacks. Familiarity with all of the structural differences that distinguish black hair and the disorders that affect the black patient's hair and scalp will enable dermatologists to provide proper diagnoses, treatment, and counselling for their black patients.
黑人的毛囊和毛干具有独特的结构。某些疾病，如热梳脱发和牵引性脱发、近端结节性脆发症、结节性脆发病和假性毛囊炎，主要发生在黑人中，这与黑人头发的形态以及护理方法有关。此外，还有几种病因不明的疾病，如穿掘性蜂窝织炎，也主要发生在黑人身上。熟悉所有区分黑人头发的结构差异以及影响黑人患者头发和头皮的疾病，将使皮肤科医生能够为他们的黑人患者提供正确的诊断、治疗和咨询。
