Afro-type Hair Transplant
Which hair transplant surgery technique is better for an Afro American hair transplant candidate?
The FUE and DHI techniques are better surgery options for patients with Afro hair who seek hair transplants for Afro hair. Afro hair is not just curly when it’s longer, but the roots of Afro hair are also curly, and only an experienced hair transplant surgeon would know to harvest grafts from the patient’s scalp without damaging the root. Also, hair transplant techniques like FUT are not recommended for most Afro hair transplant candidates because of possible keloid scars. It is the hair transplant surgeon’s responsibility to ask the patient if they’re prone to develop keloid scars, and it’s also the patient’s responsibility to inform the hair transplant surgeon if they’re prone to develop keloid scars. This kind of scarring would harm the scalp and make hair transplants unsuccessful. This is why a hair transplant procedure like FUE and DHI is recommended for Afro hair transplant candidates.
