UNDERSTANDING YOUR HAIR
A distinctive texture.
A tailored approach.
Afro-textured or tightly curled hair: your texture, hairline and donor area guide the planning process, for women and men alike.
Assess before planning
Review your hair, the cause of hair loss and the areas affected before discussing transplant options.
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.
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.

HAIRLINE & TEMPLES
Frame your face. Respect your features.
Your hairline is planned with you. Your proportions, existing hair and expectations guide a personalized placement plan.

Define the contours with your facial features, current hairline and expectations in mind.
Plan for each area

Think about what comes next

PRECISION IN PRACTICE
Technique matters.
So does the plan.
Understand the steps, learn what is assessed, and prepare for your journey.

Design the hairline
The hairline is designed around your face and existing hair. It guides the placement of the grafts.
This first image shows the reference line used to plan the procedure. It helps you understand the intended outline before looking at the distribution of the grafts.

AFTER YOUR TRANSPLANT
Your hair texture is unique.
Your follow-up stays personal.
For Afro-textured and coily hair, your journey continues after the procedure with 12 months of follow-up.
The center’s guide helps you find illustrated care steps and guidance for the first days. Your team considers your hair and your situation when giving you personal instructions, alongside our guide to recovery after a transplant.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE
Your questions
are welcome.
Your situation, the technique, the budget: answers to help you understand what matters and prepare for your conversation with the team.
All questionsEvery 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.



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.
