Afro Hair Transplant in Turkey
Understanding Afro Hair Transplants
People of African descent, like everyone else, are prone to hair loss. However, Afro hair transplants present unique challenges due to the curly and dense nature of Afro hair. For the procedure to be a successful it is important that you choose an experienced surgeon. We at CLINIQUEPLUS provide renowned services in operating Afro hair transplants with unsurpassable professionalism.
What Sets Afro Hair Apart?
Afro hair, characterized by its curly and dense structure, differs significantly from the straight hair of Asians and Caucasians. This uniqueness affects how hair transplant procedures are carried out. Here are some key differences:
Density
One of the reasons afro hair has such impressive volume is because a normal person with healthy should have approximately 100,000 hair strands.
Curls
Afro hair grows in tight curls, rather than flowing straight as is common among Asians and Europeans. This type usually does not get flat even after combing or brushing.
Fragility
While it looks strong, the strands of afro hair are in fact fragile and easily breakable, especially when subjected to traction hair loss or vigorous combing.
Growth Rate
Afro hair grows slower compared to other hair types. Caucasian hair grows at about 1.2 cm per month, Asian hair at 1.3 cm, while Afro hair grows at approximately 0.9 cm per month.
Root Structure
Afro hair follicles twist and curl even below the skin, making the extraction and implantation processes more complex.
Do Hair Transplants Work for Afro Hair?
Yes, hair transplants can effectively address hair loss in individuals of African descent. However, due to the dense and curly nature of Afro hair, the procedure is more complex than for straight hair. It is essential to choose a surgeon with experience in Afro hair transplants to avoid complications.
Hair Transplants for Men
Androgenic alopecia refers to a natural cause of hair loss in men that many are familiar with, including black men. This is also referred to as male pattern baldness (MPB) and may happen around the frontal or vertex areas. External pressures, health or medication can play a role too. CLINIQUEPLUS have solved the hair problem of black men with afro hair transplant. Here you can take advantage of a truly successful, inexpensive hair transplant.
Hair Transplants for Women
This is called traction alopecia and African women suffer from it due to tight hairstyles like braids, cornrows and twists which often result in hair loss around the hairline. While afro hair transplants for females still require meticulous handling and often a shaving of the area to simplify insertion. Turkey has experts who can perform these delicate procedures effectively.
Best Techniques for Afro Hair Transplants
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
FUE involves removing individual hair follicles from the donor area and implanting them in the target areas. This method is time-consuming but preferred for its superior results. There are four main types of FUE:
- Manual FUE
- Handheld Motorized FUE
- Robotic FUE
- Automatic FUE
The choice of method depends on the diagnosis and the surgeon’s expertise.
Direct Hair Implantation (DHI)
