Damaged hair, hyperpigmentation

Pigmented spots

..."This is the main problem with black skin. An old small pimple, a superficial wound from childhood... Each scar can be accompanied by hyperpigmentation. Where does it come from? Quite simply from melanin, produced in excess during the healing process. It's difficult to get rid of it...
You can always choose more concentrated products to frequently provide the skin with the care it needs: cleansing, lotion, exfoliation, hydration... This stimulates cell renewal to make it faster. I generally recommend dermo-cosmetic products like the Avène or La Roche-Posay ranges... If spots are a source of complexes, I also offer multiple protocols to adapt according to skin types to try to regain a "tone-on-tone" color. For example, an anti-spot cream and a TCA peeling with trichloroacetic acid will be combined. No surprises, the older the spots are, the longer the treatment will be."

Straightening, coloring, braids that are too tight and too frequent: we abuse our hair!

"Over time, hair capital naturally diminishes. Straightening every 6 to 8 weeks aggresses the hair fiber and literally burns the scalp, like a perm for Caucasian hair. Prefer occasional use of a flat iron, for evenings and other big occasions. The first signs of hair abused by repeated straightening, braiding, and weaving are completely broken fibers, alopecia (hair loss from pulling it back too much), or hair shedding. As long as the bulb is still there, a course of vitamin therapy or bepanthene can repair them. Finally, know that implants cannot be performed on black skin."
