The hair community has embraced the following Hair Type guidelines and defined them into 4 types explained as follows:
Different Types of Hair
Hair loss in African American men: Hair loss in African – American men is quite common and is increasing in prevalence year by year. Almost all of the men at certain age possess receding hairline termed mature hairline. It has been found that approximately 65 % of the men suffer from hair loss facing harsh consequences but majority of them are at their late 30s.
Hair loss in African American women: Hair loss in African American women is incredibly common. Approximately 47.6% of the women are reported to have hair loss on the crown or top of the scalp.
African American women have genetic predisposition to hair loss, but styling aids makes it even more worse. African women usually prefer tight braiding hair styles and also use chemical relaxers for straightening their hairs frequently. These chemical straighteners are effective in straightening the hairs but negatively influence the strength of hairs leading to more hair loss. These negative effects are intensified by hot tools used regularly to style your hairs.
There are many causes for which hair loss occurs in general but African American population have certain factors which are more commonly involved due to their hair characteristics and styling methods.
Androgenic alopecia: Genetic hair loss stays the most common cause for hair loss worldwide. Pattern baldness or androgenic alopecia occurs due to genetic dysfunction which leads to oversensitive hair follicles. The DHT sensitive areas where the hair follicles are influenced by androgenic hormones are and undergo thinning or miniaturization leading to hair loss.
Ageing: Hair loss impacts almost everyone as age passes. Receding hairline usually occurs with everyone which could be normal termed “mature hairline” or could lead to hair loss.
Traction alopecia: African – American females usually follows a tight braiding and ponytail hairstyle which causes inflammation of the hair follicles. This type of hair loss is self inflicted as due to tight braiding the hairs are pulled and are damaged. It could be treated if stopped at an early stage but repeated tension could lead to permanent hair loss. Traction alopecia usually follows the receding hairline pattern which continues to extend the baldness and involves a broader area.
Traumatic alopecia: Due to styling practices and use of chemicals and hot tools the hairs could become damaged and lead to breakage. African textured hairs are fragile when compared to other hair types which make them more susceptible to hair loss.
Folliculitis induced alopecia: Folliculitis induced alopecia occurs due to inflammation of hair follicles occurring due to bacterial growth in the scalp. Folliculitis occurs due to weaving or braiding the hairs for longer duration leading to scalp pain, little bumps and hair loss.
Hair transplant is an outpatient procedure which is performed under local anesthesia and involves harvesting of hair follicles from the donor area and transplanting them to the recipient bald area. Hair transplant in Africans is highly successful procedure and is a treatment of choice of hair loss. The success rate of the African hair transplant is more than 95 % irrespective of gender.
African hair transplant is usually misjudged as less successful procedure because of the specific hair characteristic of the population. But ideally hair transplant is possible in every hair type in fact curly and thick hairs have an added advantage.
The course of hairs in the African population is wavy or curly with thick texture which gives the illusion of fuller look thus would surely present high density even by transplanting lesser number of hair grafts. Thus, it is possible with these types of hairs to achieve maximum hair density even by harvesting fewer follicular grafts.
Types of Hair
The basic hair transplant procedure involves following steps:
The hair transplant procedure takes up to 5 – 8 hours based on the technique opted and on the number of grafts harvested to cover the bald site. After few weeks of hair transplant the newly planted hair follicles undergo shedding which is absolutely normal and part of transplanted hair growth.
You can see the tiny hair shafts emerging from the bald site after 3 months of the hair transplant. After 6 months of the hair transplant procedure the appreciable hair growth can be observed. Complete hair growth can be observed in 9 – 12 months.
