According to race, hair types are classified into three major categories. We are performing Afro-American Hair Transplant Turkey. Caucasian, Asian, and Afro hair have a variety of characteristics. Curly and wavy hair is typical of people of Afro descent. The folds in Afro hair begin in the dermis layer beneath the epidermis and grow to form the curly hair structure. A single follicle can only have two or three roots.
What Is Afro-American Hair Loss?
Afro-haired people experience regional hair loss as well as androgenic hair loss as a result of hair styling processes. Due to the curly structure of their hair, people with Afro hair frequently use chemical hair straighteners and tight braids to style their hair. If these hair straightening applications are used for an extended period of time, they can cause permanent damage to the hair roots. In other words, permanent hair loss can occur as a result of both genetic and physical factors. Although the curly hair structure initially conceals the size of the losses, it eventually causes the size of the area to be treated to increase. Hair loss caused by physical and chemical factors is common in both men and women.
What Are the Challenges of Afro Hair Transplantation?
Although hair transplantation can be used on Afro-type female and male hair, some difficulties may arise during the application process. Because of the nature of Afro hair, follicle-containing units and hair may be larger than those found in Caucasian and Asian hair. The curly structure alters the root’s shape. This structure has an effect not only on the hair, but also on the roots beneath the skin. That is, the trauma to the skin will be greater when the curly roots are extracted from the donor area and placed in the recipient area. Furthermore, very small roots can cause serious damage to the follicular unit itself when extracted with the punch tool.
What Do We Pay Attention to In Afro-Type Hair Transplantation?
Afro Temples Size

First, the hair transplantation process for curly and wavy hair should be determined by analyzing the size of the curly hair in Afro Hair Transplantation. The angles of the hair under the skin are determined as a result of this analysis prior to Afro hair transplantation. With the calculation of these angles, it is critical to decide which plan will be used to continue the process. If micro punch and angle calculations are not made while the roots are extracted from the subcutaneous tissue during Afro hair transplantation, a large amount of graft loss can occur, and reaching the planned number of roots may be difficult. As a result, in Afro hair transplantation, every detail of the hair should be thoroughly examined.
That’s why we use a 0.9×4 mm special punch for the extraction of curly hair. Although fewer grafts can be extracted from the donor area than straight roots in curly hair, we achieve the desired result even with just 2000–3000 grafts, since curly hair looks denser.

When performing Afro-type hair transplantation, our doctors keep an eye on the natural angle of the hair. Patients’ hair is styled to allow for varying degrees of natural hair growth in various areas and to allow patients to style their hair as they see fit. We transplant according to this hairline for our patients who want a Drake model with a flat temple area.
In Turkey, the traditional follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplantation method is used as an ethnic hair restoration operation to meet the various needs of African hair types. We are performing incision with Sapphire blade so called Sapphire Fue hair transplantation for Afro-American or Afro-type hair implantation.
