Abstract
We present an overview of hair and scalp disorders in women of African descent, discussing the biological features of afro-textured hair, as well as hair-grooming practices in this cohort and their association with specific hair and scalp disorders. A practical approach to diagnosing and managing common hair and scalp disorders in this cohort is also presented.
