Specialized Hair Transplant for Curly and Afro-Textured Hair
Afro Hair Transplant is a specialized hair restoration procedure designed for individuals with curly, coiled, or afro-textured hair. Due to the unique curved structure of afro hair follicles beneath the scalp, this technique requires advanced expertise and careful extraction methods.
Using refined FUE-based techniques, each follicle is extracted with precision to protect the natural curve of the hair root. The grafts are then implanted with careful attention to angle, direction, and density, ensuring natural growth patterns and balanced hair coverage.
How the Afro Hair Transplant Technique Works
The procedure begins with a detailed assessment of the patient’s hair type, curl pattern, donor density, and hair loss pattern.
Hair follicles are extracted using specialized micro punch tools designed to accommodate the curved structure of afro hair roots. The grafts are then implanted into carefully created channels following the patient’s natural hairline and curl direction.
The procedure typically takes 6–8 hours, depending on the number of grafts required and the desired density.
