Afro-hair transplant Turkey
Afro hair transplant (type 3 hair, or type 4 hair) is more difficult than Asian hair. If there are many people in the world with different cultures and anatomy, there are also people with different hair types and follicle structures.
We have prepared a guide about the features and procedure that distinguish afro-hair transplant Turkey from other hair transplants.
What makes Afro hair (Type 4 hair) different
Afro-hair features:
Dry hair
Afro hair has intense oil and unevenly distributed keratin due to its structure. For this reason, they have very dry hair.
Oval hair follicle
Although hair molecules are generally round in structure, afro-hair molecules are oval in structure. This ensures the formation of zigzag hair and dense curly hair.
Hair prone to breakage
Since it is very hard and curved, moisture is not distributed in all areas. For this reason, hair strands without moisture are easily susceptible to breakage.
Length perception due to afro-hair men
Due to intensely curled hair, the strand appears shorter than it actually is. This is why hair growth after Afro hair transplant Turkey will take longer. In other words, the hair actually grows but looks shorter because it is curled.
What are the causes of Afro-hair loss?
Generally, hair loss problems are experienced for reasons similar to Asian hair types. Hair loss causes of Afro-hair men:
Genetic factors
These people have hair loss problems due to some features brought by their ancestors' genes. Since their hair structure is not flat, their hair looks voluminous even if it is thinning.
Unconscious hair care
Processes such as blow-drying or straightening the hair cause the hair, which is already lacking in keratin, to wear out and fall out more.
Styling the hair too tightly (Traction Alopecia)
Due to Afro culture, tight braids are applied to the hair or tied tightly. This causes the hairline to recede and hair loss in both men and women.
General health condition
Hair loss problems may be related to hormones. You should have your general health condition and blood values checked before having hair treatment.
How is Afro-hair transplant different from others?
Afro-people have different hair molecules and hair anatomy. Oval hair molecules and fragile, curly hair make the afro-hair transplant process difficult. Due to the complexity of this procedure, it is not suitable for every surgeon to perform this procedure.
There are highly experienced and specialised surgeons who can perform Afro-hair transplants in Turkey. Hair and Estetic Clinic surgeons are also trained in hair transplantation and have restored thousands of people to their new hair.
Is the Afro-Hair Transplant Turkey treatment permanent?
Yes, it is permanent.
Your new hair does not fall out, your hair strands grow thinner at the beginning, and your hair strands thicken over time. Your old hair may continue to fall out.
When can I return to my social life?
Since afro-hair transplant Turkey is a procedure requiring local anaesthesia, it does not require hospitalisation. You may feel some discomfort only at first. It will be useful to rest for 1-2 days to increase your comfort. You should postpone jobs that require excessive effort.
What are the prices in afro-hair transplant Turkey?
Afro-hair transplant procedure has become easier with advanced FUE technologies. Afro hair transplant Turkey prices vary between 3500€-4500€.

Does afro-hair transplant Turkey work for black men and women?
Afro-hair transplant works in all black individuals, regardless of whether they are male or female.
Of course, in order to say this easily, you should make a consultation appointment with your surgeon and find out if you are suitable for this job.
Can black men have hair transplants?
Yes, black men can also have a hair transplant procedure.
Your skin colour is not important for this procedure. Only the procedure may require more professionalism. You should meet with a surgeon who can meet your expectations and find answers to all the questions you have in mind.
How many grafts do I need for best results?
It is not possible to randomly say how many grafts patients need for hair transplantation. There are some scales used for this. Norwood's scale is one of them.
Apply a reliable scale during your consultation with your surgeon.
