FUE hair transplants work successfully in afro hair types when performed by a skilled and experienced surgeon. Having said that it is more difficult hair type to work with as the angle of the roots of the hair follicles are very different to the angle in which the hair grows out of the skin. This means that extracting them successfully without damaging a high number of hairs in the donor area can be more difficult. If care isn’t taken or experience is lacking, the donor area can be overly harvested meaning the back of the head becomes very ‘gappy’ and scarred in afro hair type patients. It is important to chose a surgeon and clinic that have performed successful hair transplants on afro-curly hair types. Celebrity patients such as Conor Benn and James DeGale have undergone successful afro hair transplants with amazing results.
