Determining candidacy for a hair transplant involves several factors, and it’s great that you’re seeking more information. As a black male with a specific hair texture, there are unique considerations to keep in mind. Here’s what you should know:

Candidacy: A good candidate for a hair transplant typically has sufficient donor hair on the sides or back of the scalp that can be transplanted to thinning areas. Your history of using finasteride and minoxidil indicates that you are proactive about managing hair loss, which is beneficial. An in-person consultation with a hair restoration specialist is essential to assess your hair density and scalp condition.

Hair Texture Considerations: Hair texture plays a significant role in transplant procedures. Curly or coiled hair, common among black individuals, can provide excellent coverage and natural-looking results, but it also requires a skilled surgeon experienced with this hair type to ensure optimal outcomes.

Procedure Options: The two main types of hair transplant procedures are Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). FUE is often preferred for those with curly hair as it can minimize scarring and better handle the curl pattern.

Price Range: The cost of a hair transplant varies widely based on factors such as the extent of hair loss, the type of procedure, and geographic location. Generally, the price can range from $4,000 to $15,000. It's important to discuss the cost during your consultation, as some clinics offer financing options.

I recommend scheduling a consultation with a board-certified hair restoration specialist to explore your options and receive a personalized assessment.

Hi,A careful review of your history and a physical examination would need to be done to fully evaluate your hair loss. From the pic, depending on the density your wish to pursue along with the location of the hair line, 1200-1500 graft range at 6$ a graft in our clinic in Raleigh, NC.

FUE hair transplant can be an option for correcting receding hair line and asymmetry on your frontal hair line/forelock. I advice you have a FUE with 1800-2000 grafts; you would achieve the desired hairline in just one session of dense packing hair transplant.
