Specialised Care
Curly and coiled hair can give beautifully full results — but the follicles curve under the skin, so extraction needs a different hand. Expertise matters here more than anywhere.
Afro-textured follicles curl beneath the surface, so blind punching risks transection (cutting grafts). It needs careful technique and the right punch — done well, the upside is great coverage, since curl creates visual density with fewer hairs.
We plan for your curl pattern, design a hairline that suits your features, and place grafts at the correct angle so the curl falls naturally. We also screen for keloid-prone skin and discuss it openly before proceeding.

The defining challenge with Afro and coiled hair is that the follicle curves sharply beneath the skin while the visible hair curls above it. A punch aimed straight down the visible hair can sever the follicle below — so extraction needs a wider, carefully angled punch and an unhurried hand to keep graft survival high. Done by someone experienced with textured hair, the payoff is real: tight curl creates excellent visual coverage, so the same area often looks fuller with fewer grafts.
A natural result also depends on respecting the geometry of textured hair — the shape of the hairline, the way curl recoils, and your facial proportions. We also discuss keloid-prone skin honestly up front, since it’s more common in patients of African descent and affects how we plan donor and recipient sites. The goal is a hairline that looks like it was always yours, designed around how your hair actually behaves.
