What Is an Afro Hair Transplant?
An Afro hair transplant is a specialised hair restoration procedure designed specifically for individuals with tightly coiled, Afro-textured hair. This hair type grows from curved follicles and emerges at a unique angle, requiring specialist techniques and meticulous precision to achieve optimal results.

Regardless of which method you choose, Dr. Ditta Hair Transplants is committed to delivering long-lasting, natural-looking results that match the texture and growth pattern of your existing hair.

Understanding Hair Loss Factors in Afro-Textured Hair

Hair loss in Afro hair types can be influenced by multiple causes, including:

Should You Have an Afro Hair Transplant?

If you’re experiencing thinning edges, bald patches, or traction alopecia from years of tight styling, an Afro hair transplant could be the permanent solution you’ve been looking for. Many people with Afro-textured hair struggle to find suitable treatments—but modern techniques like FUE now make it possible to restore natural density and shape without compromising your curl pattern.

At Dr. Ditta Hair Transplants, we understand the importance of both aesthetics and cultural hair identity. If hair loss is affecting your confidence or day-to-day life, a tailored transplant procedure can help you regain not only your hair—but your self-assurance, too.

Afro-textured hair demands expert knowledge of its curl pattern and follicle structure. Dr. Ditta brings extensive experience and a personalised approach to every procedure, ensuring each graft is placed with precision and care.

Using advanced tools and custom implantation plans, we recreate natural density and hairlines that suit your features. From consultation to aftercare, we prioritise comfort, confidence, and consistently natural-looking results.

How Much Does an Afro Hair Transplant Cost?

At Dr. Ditta Hair Transplants, Afro hair transplant procedures start from £3,499. The final cost depends on several factors, including the number of grafts required, procedure type (FUE or DHI), and the complexity of the case.

Be cautious of unusually low-cost offers, which may result in overharvesting the donor area or using underqualified technicians. The quality of your hair transplant often reflects the experience of the surgeon and the clinic’s standards—so it’s worth investing in expert care.

Recovery and Aftercare

After your Afro hair transplant, it’s normal to experience mild swelling, redness, and tenderness in the treated areas. Recovery is straightforward when supported by proper aftercare.

Afro Hair Transplant Procedure FAQs

Afro hair transplants are ideal for Black and mixed-heritage individuals of all genders. Due to the tightly curled nature of Afro-textured hair, this procedure demands expertise and care—but in the hands of an experienced surgeon like Dr. Ditta, it’s a safe and effective solution. Below are some frequently asked questions to guide you:

Which method is better for Afro hair—FUE or FUT?

FUT is often recommended for tightly coiled hair, as it reduces the risk of damaging curved follicles during extraction. However, if your curl pattern is looser, FUE may still be a suitable option. A personalised scalp and hair assessment will determine the best approach for you.

Is the procedure painful?

No, the transplant is performed under local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Post-surgery discomfort is mild and manageable with painkillers provided as part of your aftercare.

When will I notice results?

You’ll see the initial outline of your new hairline immediately. Noticeable growth begins around 4–6 months, with full results visible between 12–18 months after surgery.

Are the results permanent?

Yes, the transplanted hair is permanent. However, to support long-term density and reduce future hair loss, treatments like Minoxidil can be beneficial.

What’s the recovery time like?

Recovery varies by technique:

FUE: 5–7 days for most patients
FUT: 7–14 days due to the small incision
Avoid vigorous activity for at least one week, and consider taking a few days off work.

Are there any side effects?

Mild swelling, tenderness, or itching around the scalp are normal and usually resolve within 3–4 days. Anti-inflammatory and pain relief medications are included in your aftercare package to ensure comfort.
