Risks of shock loss following hair transplantation occurs in young men, but Propecia/finasteride usually prevents it. The value of a hair is not equal amongst all hairs. A fine hair may have 1/4 of the bulk of a coarse hair, so a transplant in a coarse haired person will be fuller (hair for hair) than […]

I’d never heard of this “S-curl” style, so I had to look it up. Assuming I’m not the only one that didn’t know what it is, here’s a description from Wikipedia — Depending upon the strength of the application, an “S-curl” hairstyle has hair texture either only slightly less kinky than natural tightly coiled African […]
The hair character generally is maintained like its original location. I have seen some more waviness in those with straight hair when it is moved to the pubic area, but it does not become kinky.
The fundamental concept of a hair transplant surgery is moving hair from one part of the body to another part of the body. Thus, you can transplant your pubic hair to your eyebrow. I do not know what your pubic hair looks like, but in general pubic hair is more coarse and kinky than eyebrow […]
I don’t quite understand what you are asking. All surgeries have risks, just as driving your car has risks. You need good examination and a diagnosis before considering surgery. You also need to trust the doctor and establish a good communication line where your risks and benefits and expectations are addressed. Hairs that initially grow […]
It is possible that the microscopic scars at the level of the recipient graft is influencing the direction of hair growth and the character of the hair. Also, I have seen some changes in the texture of the hair shaft after a hair transplant which often (when it happens) corrects after one hair cycle (approximately […]
It is good that you started using Propecia for your thinning crown hair. Although you don’t think you had improvement with medications, I think it is best for you to continue the Propecia, for you never know how your crown would look if you were not taking the medication. Propecia should be the first line […]
Generally, if the technique of transplanting hair is done correctly, the frontal hairline should blend in with the rest of your hair. That being said, on occasion it may grow out a bit more wavy and on rare occasions it can become kinky or frizzy (very rare). Your prior surgery on your forehead and the […]
The kinky hair of African individuals makes it slightly more difficult for hair transplants if the surgical team is not able to manage the hair grafts that are not straight below the skin. Hair transplantation is a peg in a hole skill (like fine needle work), but when the grafts are not straight, it is […]
FUE on African-American hair is very difficult to perform, but if you are serious, we can test your hair to find out how good a candidate you are. If your hair is kinky, you might not want kinky hair on the side burns. This is a real risk. Darker skinned people usually have more scarring […]
Hair for eyebrow transplants come from the head. As such, they retain their head hair characteristics. There is some need to match head hair and eyebrow hair to see that it is appropriate to use it. This matching is critical. In the afro hair, the hair from the scalp is kinky, and if that hair […]
I am so glad you decided to write, because there is definitely hope for someone such as yourself and there is so little material available to TELL you that! You are correct – it is not generally advertised, but women of color do very well with hair transplant as a general rule. Because African-American hair […]
Actually, race and sex do matter since certain backgrounds tend to produce certain types of hair loss. In your case, diet pills taken many years ago are not high on my list of causes for hair loss, although extreme diets and conditions such as anorexia and bulimia definitely do weaken hair and cause loss. For […]
Scars are scars and they always show. Depending upon what type of scars and where they are placed, the scars may be less obvious. Scars in the neck always widen and are always visible. The neck hairs used for transplants are often lost with time as these hairs are not permanent like the hair above, […]
I remember a television piece done by CBS News’ 60 Minutes where they tracked what was claimed to be one of the original 12 tribes of Israel deep into the African continent through genetic testing on the Y Chromosome. In the few thousand years since the migration, the physical characteristics of the African became evident […]
