Hi Stevie,

Please have a read at the link below

It's not as straight forward as Asian/Caucasian hair. Also be aware of potential Keloid scarring which is more prominent with patients of African descent.

Thanks for sharing this information, I was aware of keloid scars however only expected them via FUT. Seriously considering FUE myself but didn’t even consider scarring, being bi racial (50% white English & 50% West Indian - Dominica) I’m really unsure how to proceed tbh

MizterKewl,

Judging by your pics, I would suggest you are a definite candidate for the no shave technique however the donor hair at the back will be best shaved but you have the style to carry that off no problem. I would suggest approx 500 grafts for each temple.

Also, I take it you aware of the risk of high transection in extracting Afro-Caribbean hair grafts due to the nature of the curl under the scalp surface. Also you should be aware that successfully grown out transplanted hairs will cover more area than straight hair, again due to the curl.

Sorry could you please explain the high risk of transection in Afro hair and the possible consequences? 

Thanks in advance
