Afro Hair Transplant

At History Clinic, we specialize in Afro hair transplants, offering safe, natural, and long-lasting results for patients with curly, coiled, or kinky hair. Afro-textured hair requires unique techniques due to curl pattern, root angle, and follicle thickness, which standard FUE methods may not address.

Our expert surgeons in Istanbul use Manual FUE, DHI, and Sapphire FUE techniques tailored for Afro-textured hair, ensuring high graft survival, natural density, and clean hairline design.

Why Afro Hair Transplant Requires Special Care

Afro hair follicles often grow in a C- or S-shaped pattern beneath the scalp. Using standard motorized punches risks:

1. High follicle transection (20–30 % with conventional FUE)
2. Root damage or broken grafts
3. Uneven hairline or unnatural growth

Manual FUE is preferred because:

1. Surgeons follow each follicle’s natural curve
2. Reduces root damage and improves graft survival
3. Allows precise curl-preserving implantation

At History Clinic, transection rates for Afro hair drop to under 10%, resulting in over 90% graft survival.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Afro hair transplant is suitable for:

1. Individuals with Type 3C to 4C hair
2. Patients with traction alopecia, androgenetic alopecia, or localized thinning
3. Those with healthy donor hair and scalp

Patients with uncontrolled medical conditions, active scalp infections, or severe scarring alopecia may not be suitable.
