When it comes to Black men and women, (Director of Medical Procedures and Surgical Operations), claims there is virtually no
difference in how hair transplantation is performed when compared to other Caucasian people, Asians and all other races. "The whole
procedure is approached the same way”, Medical Director said. "The vast majority of African Americans make great hair transplant
patients”.
Medical Director pointed out that their Medical Institute has performed 1,000's of hair transplants on African
Americans and they enjoy some natural advantages. Black men and women often have better results with their hair transplants because
the, curly hair gives the illusion of more density. This illusion holds true for not only African American patients, but even Caucasian
people, Asians and all other races in general with black hair, curly hair or both.
"The curly hair comes out in layers, lying
on top of each other and this gives a fuller appearance”, Medical Director said. Patients with light colored hair have a softer appearance
that blends with the scalp easier and gives a less full, thinner appearance.
Medical Director warns that he is seeing an increase
in Black patients who come to him for treatment of traction alopecia, permanent hair loss caused by braiding, weaving, cornrows that
pull out the hair and or damage it with harsh chemicals.
Those with traction alopecia often require 600 to 800 hair follicular
units in the temple region and frontal regions, Medical Director said. Traction alopecia hair transplant patients should definitely
change their hair style to a looser and free style that does not pull or damage the new hair follicular units, he added.
"The
only way permanent traction alopecia can be treated is with hair transplants”, Medical Director said. He is concerned about the increasingly
popular hair styles that can result in traction alopecia and cautions patients to wear their hair in "looser" styles that won't pull
or damage the hair permanently.
