African American Hair Restoration

AFRICAN AMERICAN HAIR RESTORATION

What is African American Hair Restoration

It is the same technique as an FUE or FUT hair transplant. The difference being that physiologically, the hair follicle in this hair type is curled rather than angled in the scalp. This requires a surgeon with years of experience to properly extract the hair follicles safely. At Mollura Medical Hair Restoration, we’ve helped hundreds of individuals with this type of hair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Hair Transplants effective for African American Hair?

Yes, they are highly effective when performed by an experienced surgeon that is familiar with the unique characteristics of curly and coiled hair follicles.

What challenges are unique to African American Hair Transplants?

The hair follicle in this hair type is curled rather than angled in the scalp. This requires a surgeon with specialized tools and years of experience to properly extract the hair follicles safely. There is also a much higher tendency for Keloid scarring.

Which hair transplant method is best for African American patients?

Both FUE and FUT Hair Transplants can be effective for African American patients. The best method will be recommended during consultation after a review of the patient’s goals, hair characteristics, and donor area density.

Will the transplanted hair match my natural texture?

Yes, the transplanted hair will match your natural texture because it comes from your own donor area. An experienced surgeon ensures that the direction, density, and curl pattern blend seamlessly with your existing hair.

Can a hair transplant fix traction alopecia?

Yes, hair transplants are a common solution for traction alopecia caused by tight hairstyles.

When will I see the results?

Like with any FUE or FUT Hair Transplant, new hair growth typically starts around 3-4 months, with full results visible after 12-14 months.

Dr. Mollura is a true pro. Had a transplant done two years ago and the work he did on my hairline was masterful. He was very communicative through the whole procedure and there for me after the procedure as well. Such a good job, people can't even tell I had anything done. Highly Recommend.

Frank L.

Over the past six years, I’ve undergone two procedures with Dr. Mollura—one focusing on the front and the other on the back—and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The outcome has been so transformative, and I truly appreciate the ongoing care and support he provides. If you’re considering hair restoration or any kind of treatment plan, Dr. Mollura is the person you can trust to deliver exceptional results.
