Afro Hair Transplant
Istanbul — The Specialist
You've Been Looking For
Most clinics are not equipped to treat Afro-textured hair. Curved follicles, Fitzpatrick IV–VI skin protocols, traction alopecia — these require specialist technique and surgeon-led precision that is rare. At Turk Health Expert, it is standard.
Why Afro Hair Transplant Is Different
The most important thing to understand about Afro hair transplantation is not that it is more difficult — it is that it requires different specialist knowledge that most clinics do not have.
Standard clinics train their teams on straight or wavy European hair. Afro and tightly-curled hair follicles grow in a curved shape below the scalp surface — the curl begins beneath the skin, not at the visible hair shaft. A surgeon extracting with standard straight-hair angles destroys the follicle before it leaves the scalp. The graft is dead before it is even implanted.
Curved Follicle Extraction
Afro follicles require adapted micro-punch angles of 30–45° — adjusted per patient based on individual curl pattern. Dr Türk performs every extraction personally, never delegated to technicians.
DHI Choi Pen Implantation
DHI is preferred for Afro patients because it creates smaller recipient sites than FUE, reducing scarring risk for Fitzpatrick IV–VI skin types. Graft survival: 90–95%.
Keloid Risk Screening
Melanin-rich skin has a higher keloid risk. All Afro patients undergo pre-operative keloid screening. Patients with known keloid history are assessed individually and protocol-adapted.
Density Advantage
Afro hair's natural curl pattern means each graft covers more surface area visually than straight hair. Black patients typically achieve greater apparent density per graft than any other hair type.
The Technique — What We Do Differently
Afro DHI — Specialist Protocol at Turk Health Expert
Every step adapted for Afro-textured and tightly curled hair
Conditions We Treat
✊ Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness in Black men. Norwood 2–6. Afro hair density advantage means fewer grafts achieve greater visible coverage.
💆 Traction Alopecia
Hair loss caused by tight braids, weaves, locs, or relaxers. One of the most common presentations in Black and mixed-heritage women and men. Pre-condition: traction cause must be stopped first.
👩 Women's Hair Loss
Diffuse thinning and frontal hair loss in Black women. No-Shave DHI option available — zero shaving, invisible recovery, return to work in 2–3 days.
💈 Hairline Restoration
Frontal hairline lowering and temple restoration. The natural curl of Afro hair creates a softer, more forgiving hairline edge — ideal for natural-looking results.
