In afro and curly hair, the follicles curve not only above the skin but also beneath it. A hair transplant therefore requires extra care in planning and technique so that the follicles are extracted without damage and implanted at the correct angle.
Why is a transplant different with curly hair?
- Extraction: Punches of a suitable diameter and a controlled technique are preferred so that the curved follicle can be removed without being cut.
- Coverage: Because curly hair creates volume, it may offer an advantage in coverage; the number of grafts is still determined by examination.
- Hairline: The shape and direction of the hairline are planned to suit the person's hair type and facial proportions.
Keloid and scarring tendency
Some people have a tendency to develop keloids or raised scars. During the consultation we always ask whether raised scars have formed after previous injuries or surgery; further assessment is carried out if needed. This information directly affects the choice of technique and the treatment plan.
Technique and process
The appropriate technique (FUE, DHI or a combination) is determined after a medical examination, based on hair type and the donor area. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. Scabbing may occur in the first days and temporary shedding of transplanted hair in the first months; results are usually assessed within 9–12 months and vary from person to person.
Preliminary assessment
You can request a free preliminary consultation by sending photos of the front, top, crown and donor area. The definitive plan is made after the medical examination.
