Istanbul, Turkey — The Curve Below the Skin
The Technique Is the Same. The Margin for Error Is Not.
Textured follicles keep curling after they leave the surface. A punch that assumes a straight shaft cuts the follicle it was meant to free — which is why afro cases live or die on who is holding it, not on which technique is printed on the quote.

Straight hair goes into the scalp roughly the way it comes out of it. Afro-textured hair does not: the follicle curves beneath the surface, sometimes sharply, and where it goes cannot be read from where it emerges. Every difference on this page follows from that one fact.
Textured hair · experience-dependent · assessed per case
Six to eight hours in one day under local anaesthetic, and on paper the same operation as any other. In practice the extraction is slower and less forgiving: each follicle has to be freed along a curve the surgeon cannot see, which usually means a wider punch than a straight-haired case would need and a considerably lower tolerance for haste. Performed by a team that does this regularly, results are good — that qualifier is not marketing, it is the whole point.
Transection — follicles cut on the way out. It is the risk in every FUE case and it is higher here, in proportion to how sharply your hair curls.
Coarse, curly hair covers more scalp per graft than fine straight hair. Fewer grafts can achieve the same apparent density.

Education
Turkey performed over 1,020,000 international procedures in 2023, and that cuts both ways. The volume buys real expertise and real savings — and it also means most of those procedures were performed on straight hair. Ask how many afro cases they do a year before you ask what it costs.

Ask what happens when the transplanted hair falls out. It will, and it is normal.
Afro follicles curl under the skin, raising transection risk and slowing extraction.
If cuts on your body have ever healed as thick, raised keloids, say so early — it can change whether incisions are advised at all.
Braids or tight styles that caused loss must pause before grafting.
Slower, adapted extraction keeps curved follicles intact.
Curly hair covers more skin, so fullness can show with fewer grafts.
Curly follicles, keloid risk and traction loss all change how an Afro hair transplant is planned.
An Afro hair transplant is a hair transplant adapted to Afro-textured hair, whose follicles curve beneath the skin as well as above it. Extraction, graft handling and hairline design are all adjusted to that curl, which makes the procedure more specialised than a transplant for straight hair.
Because the root of an Afro follicle is curved, a straight punch can easily cut through it, a problem known as transection. Surgeons adjust punch depth, angle and technique for each graft, which takes more time but protects graft quality and survival.
Yes, when traction alopecia has caused permanent follicle loss. It is important that braids, weaves or tight styles that caused the damage have stopped, otherwise continued tension could affect both native hair and new grafts in the same area. The surgeon also checks whether the follicles in the affected area are truly gone or simply weakened.
The technique pages below go into each method in detail. On textured hair the choice between them matters less than who performs the extraction.
Personalised Care, Just for You
Send photographs of the front, top, crown and back of your head. A surgeon replies with the graft number your donor area can actually spare, which of the six techniques it calls for, what it costs with hotel and transfers included, and how long the result will take. Including when the honest answer is fewer grafts than you hoped for, or medication before surgery. No obligation, no cost.
