Afro Hair Transplant
Afro hair requires specialized techniques because it is curly and curved from the root. Afro hair transplantation is a specialized procedure that ensures the transplant is performed while preserving this natural curly structure.
At Ghalia, Afro hair follicles are harvested without disturbing the natural curl and placed at the correct angle in the transplant area. The natural volume of curly hair is preserved, resulting in a dense result that complements facial features.
The most critical step in an Afro-hair transplant is the correct extraction of the grafts. Because curly hair follicles have a coiled structure beneath the skin, harvesting them using standard methods can be risky. Therefore, a detailed hair analysis is performed before the transplant, and specialized techniques are applied to reduce the risk of follicle breakage. This minimizes graft loss and ensures the healthy attachment of the resulting hair follicles.
During the transplantation phase, the natural growth direction of curly hair is meticulously followed. Channel angles are carefully selected, taking into account the hair's curl, volume, and growth direction. This approach helps the hair maintain its natural Afro-like appearance after the transplant and achieve a dense and voluminous structure. Properly placed follicles promote natural fluffiness and fullness after the procedure.
The recovery process after an Afro hair transplant also requires personalized monitoring. Due to the density and curl of the hair, a proper care protocol is crucial. At Ghalia, patients are provided with detailed post-operative care recommendations to ensure the new hair follicles safely transition into the growth phase. Initial results are visible in approximately 3–4 months, while the full-volume Afro structure emerges within 9–12 months.
