A tailored approach.

Afro-textured or tightly curled hair: your texture, hairline and donor area guide the planning process, for women and men alike.

Your project at a glanceAn individual approach
01

Assess before planning

Review your hair, the cause of hair loss and the areas affected before discussing transplant options.

02

Account for the curl

Follicle curvature may continue beneath the skin. This characteristic is considered when planning graft harvesting in tightly curled hair. Explore the stages of Sapphire FUE.

03

Preserve the donor area

Assess the available resources and distribute grafts according to the areas to cover, your hairline and your expectations.

Texture alone does not determine the plan: a medical assessment clarifies the possibilities and limitations of a transplant.

All questions
The essentialsQuestions / answers

Every head of hair is different. A consultation helps clarify what is appropriate for your situation.

Your hair textureCoily, wavy or straight: what differs beneath the skin?

The shape of the hair may be associated with curvature of the follicle beneath the skin. These three simplified diagrams compare the paths shown.

What this means for a transplant

Curvature is considered when planning graft harvesting. The visible hair alone does not describe the entire follicle.

These diagrams are illustrative. Your hair is assessed individually when planning a transplant.

For womenCan women also have a hair transplant?

Yes, it may be considered for some women following a medical assessment of the cause of hair loss and the donor area. A transplant is not suitable for every type of hair loss.

Hair lossCan tight hairstyles cause hair loss?

Repeated tension on the hair can cause traction alopecia. A consultation helps investigate the cause and discuss suitable care before considering a procedure.

Your hairlineHow is my hairline planned?

The design considers your facial features, current hairline and expectations. It is discussed with you before the procedure to create a plan suited to your hair.

The procedureWhy plan two days for more than 2,000 grafts?

This is the approach used at NOVA for Afro-textured and tightly curled hair, considering the technical work involved. This threshold does not replace an individual assessment.

AftercareHow should I prepare for after the procedure?

Care instructions and guidance on returning to activities are explained during your care journey. You can also consult our aftercare guide and ask questions at follow-up appointments.

Caps and helmetsWhen can I wear a cap, hat, beanie, or helmet again?

At NOVA, wait until the first ten days after your final transplant day have passed before wearing a cap or hat: from day 11, choose a loose-fitting one that does not rub the treated areas. Wait three weeks before wearing a beanie or helmet. Keep items clean and dry, especially after sweating: follow their cleaning instructions and let them dry fully. Do not modify a helmet’s safety components. If an item presses on an area that is still sensitive or has not healed, ask for advice before wearing it.

Procedure durationHow long does an Afro hair transplant take?

At NOVA, these are the time guidelines for one transplant day:

  • 500–1,000 grafts: up to 6 hours.
  • More than 1,000 and up to 2,000 grafts: up to 8 hours.

These are approximate guidelines, not a guaranteed duration. The procedure and breaks needed for your comfort may affect the schedule.

For Afro and tightly curled hair, allow one day for up to 2,000 grafts and two days above that. For a two-day procedure, the time guidelines apply to the grafts planned for each day; the team confirms the allocation and schedule.

Your procedure dayWhat happens during a transplant day at NOVA?

You arrive in the morning to complete your paperwork. The team draws the planned hairline or treatment outline, which you approve before proceeding. Local anesthesia is followed by graft extraction. The grafts are organized and kept cool in an appropriate preservation solution.

After extraction, you have about an hour to rest and enjoy a hot meal ordered for you. Implantation follows, usually while you lie on your back. You can watch TV or use your phone, covered with protective film according to the center’s hygiene procedures.

Snack and bathroom breaks are available. Let the team know when you need a break; an assistant accompanies you to the bathroom. The schedule takes the procedure and your comfort into account.
