Skin bleaching is against African personality --
Right Reverend Thomas Ampah Brient, former Bishop of Anglican Diocese of Sunyani on Thursday said skin bleaching was not only harmful to the body but contravened the values of African personality.
Styling practices can lead to serious hair and scalp diseases for some African Americans, says Henry Ford Hospital dermatologist Diane Jackson-Richards, MD ``Hair is an extremely important aspect of an African-American woman's appearance,'' says Dr. Jackson-Richards, director of Henry Ford's Multicultural Dermatology Clinic.
