There are numerous reasons why people lose their hair or experience receding hairlines. In African American and Caribbean communities, some of the more common reasons include genetics or prolonged hairstyling that can lead to traction alopecia. Surprisingly, braids, cornrows and tight weaves have an impact on the severity and location of hair loss. Fortunately, Dr. Max has tons of experience with African American and Caribbean hair transplants. Rest assured you’re in the best hands to receive Black hair transplants in Florida.

African American, Latino and Caribbean ethnicities have a distinct advantage when it comes to hair restoration. While their hair typically has less follicular density per square centimeter, the characteristic “curl” naturally creates the appearance of denser follicles. Therefore, it takes less hair grafts to achieve the same results. While the procedure may require more careful transplantation by the surgeon, African American hair replacement often yields impressive results. These patients are also typically great candidates for facial hair restoration procedures.

Many issues can contribute to hair loss, and at the Hair By Dr. Max, Restoration Center, we take all factors into consideration when customizing any ethnic hair transplant. We make sure to discuss any medications, diseases or nutritional deficiencies that may be negatively contributing to your situation. A comprehensive evaluation is critical to ensure a successful procedure and healthy scalp. Dr. Max frequently combines various hair loss treatments to achieve the best overall outcome for each patient.
