About Afro Hair Transplantation

Hair loss is an aesthetic problem that no one, regardless of gender, wants to experience. Thanks to advancing technology and modern hair transplant methods, hair loss can now be largely eliminated with permanent and natural solutions.

Afro hair transplantation, however, is a different procedure that requires specialized expertise compared to classic hair transplant applications. Afro hair type is completely distinct from Asian and Caucasian hair types due to its tight, curly structure. This hair structure grows more parallel to the scalp and therefore tends to grow more slowly than other hair types. At the same time, the planning of the transplantation process also differs due to its characteristic structure.

In Afro hair transplantation, hair follicles are usually taken from the nape of the neck, and these follicles naturally have a curly structure. At this stage, it is crucial that the specialist performing the procedure has technical knowledge specific to Afro hair structure and sufficient experience. This is because the extraction and placement of the follicles is a more delicate and laborious process than standard hair transplantation methods.

Afro hair roots are thicker and denser than other hair types, so a fuller look can be achieved with fewer grafts. This offers highly satisfactory results when planned correctly.

At Hair Jungle, the FUE technique, which is currently the most preferred and successful method for Afro hair transplantation, is used; the procedure is performed with a customized plan tailored to the hair structure.

IT'S THAT SIMPLE

Afro Hair Transplant Stages

01.

Preliminary Preparation

The hair transplant process begins with our expert team conducting a detailed assessment of your hair structure and performing the necessary blood tests to determine your suitability for the procedure.

02.

Anesthesia

With the help of a painless anesthesia device, local anesthesia is administered to the area to be treated before the operation. Depending on the patient’s needs and preferences, sedation may also be administered by our anesthesia specialists during the procedure to increase comfort.

03.

Collection and extraction of hair follicles from the donor area

Hair follicles are carefully extracted one by one from the donor area determined in accordance with the plan, using micromotor technology. The collected grafts are separated according to their single and multiple structures and safely stored in special solutions to preserve their viability.

04.

Creating areas where roots will be planted

At this stage, micro-channels are opened at approximately 40–45 degree angles starting from the hairline determined by considering the individual’s forehead and facial muscle structure, in order to provide a natural appearance to the areas where transplantation will be performed.

05.

Hair root transplantation

At this stage, single grafts are preferred in the front area to achieve a natural hair appearance, starting from the pre-planned hairline. Multiple grafts are distributed evenly and placed in other transplant areas to create a denser structure.

06.

Transaction completion and notification

After the procedure is completed, the necessary dressing procedures are applied to the donor area where the grafts were taken. At this stage, no intervention is performed on the area where the grafts were implanted. Following the procedure, our patients are regularly monitored by our expert team, and the necessary support and treatments are provided throughout the recovery and care process, which lasts approximately one year.

HOW WE DO IT

Hair Transplant Stages

Answers to important questions on our customers' minds.
What is the Most Suitable Age Range for Hair Transplantation?

Based on scientific data, there is no age limit for hair transplantation. For example, hair transplantation is medically necessary for a child who has lost part of their hair in any way (such as due to burns or accidents).

The first stage of the operation is planning. Taking planning into account, when evaluating hair transplantation specific to the individual, the first question to be answered is whether hair loss is continuing.

If you have hair transplanted while your hair is still in the process of falling out, a few years later, you will see bald spots in the areas where you once had hair but have now lost. This will mean re-transplantation and new costs.

Is hair transplantation performed using hair follicles taken from another person?

Every person has their own unique genetic code. Therefore, when hair follicles are transplanted from another person, the body encounters that person’s genetic code and rejects it. Consequently, hair transplantation cannot be performed using hair follicles taken from another person.

When Can I Start Exercising Again?

The first 20 days after hair transplantation are the most sensitive period. It is recommended not to exercise during this period. After the 20th day, you can start exercising with light cardio movements. You can fully resume exercise after one month.

Are Hair Transplant Results Permanent?

This question is one of the most frequently asked questions by people who want to have hair transplants. The transplanted hair is completely permanent because it is taken from an area that is genetically programmed not to fall out (except in cases of hair disease, chemotherapy, medication use, etc.).

The area from which your hair is taken is called the donor area. The donor area is the area covering the back of the head and the upper part of the ears. Generally, the donor area is genetically programmed not to fall out. Therefore, your transplanted hair will last a lifetime.

How Long Does the Hair Transplant Procedure Take?

The hair transplant procedure takes an average of 6 to 9 hours, depending on the number of staff working on the team and the number of grafts to be transplanted.

Will I be conscious during the hair transplant procedure?

Kliniğimizde saç ekimi operasyonları lokal anestezi altında yapılmaktadır. Böylece isterseniz operasyon süresinde müzik dinleyebilir, film izleyebilir ya da telefonunuzla ilgilenebilirsiniz.

Do Hair Transplant Results Look Natural?

The hairline is drawn based on the forehead muscle structure of the person undergoing hair transplantation before the operation. This procedure is the first step taken to achieve a natural look.

Everyone’s hair direction is different. It is very important for the specialist who will open the channels where the roots will be placed to determine these directions correctly, and this requires a high level of knowledge and experience. A natural look is achieved by drawing the hairline, opening the channels in the right direction, and performing a dense transplant.

Is there a possibility that the transplanted hair will not grow?

Yes, there is a possibility, albeit very low. After October, the patient must pay close attention to their lifestyle. They must eat a natural diet, get regular sleep, and avoid harmful habits.

Is Hair Transplantation Performed During the Summer Months?

Hair transplantation can be performed in all 12 months of the year. However, when performed during the summer months, there may be factors that can compromise the individual’s comfort. These factors include itching, sweating, not being able to use the sea or pool for a month, and being exposed to high UV rays in very hot weather. Apart from this, the transplanted hair grows healthily, just as if it had been transplanted in the winter.

When Will My Hair Start Growing Back?

Hair begins to shed 15 days after transplantation. This shedding process is completed within one month. In some individuals, a certain portion may grow without shedding, and in very rare cases, hair may begin to grow without any shedding at all.

After the one-month shedding period, the individual returns to their previous appearance within the first two months. The transplanted hair begins to grow slowly from the third month onwards. It reaches a visible fullness between 6 and 8 months.

During this period, a density ratio of around 60-70% is achieved. It takes a year for all the hair to grow. It takes 1.5 years for the crown area to be completely covered.

What is the Success Rate of Hair Transplantation?

The hair transplant center, which has an expert and experienced team, achieves a root retention rate of 95-98% in its transplants. However, maintaining a high success rate after hair transplant surgery also depends somewhat on the individual’s care and diligence. This rate may also vary depending on the individual’s physiology, genetics, and root structure.

Will I Feel Pain During the Hair Transplant Procedure?

With the advancement of technology today, the pain associated with hair transplant surgery is gradually decreasing. Currently, this pain is minimal, almost negligible. You may feel some tension on your scalp during the procedure.

Since the pain threshold varies from patient to patient, some people describe this tension as mild pain, while most of our patients report feeling almost no discomfort.

My Hair Is Falling Out Thickly. Can I Get a Hair Transplant?

If you undergo hair transplantation while your hair is in the shedding phase, you will see bald patches appear in a few years in the areas where you had hair at the time but have now lost.

During this shedding phase, it would be best to control hair loss by applying PRP and mesotherapy treatments instead of transplantation. Hair transplantation can be performed again after re-evaluation once the post-treatment shedding rate has returned to normal levels.
