Should a black guy (26) get FUE or FUT? 60 Y/O father is norwood 5V. Also does this look like traction alopecia? (Photos)

It is best to see a doctor for an exam before considering what you want and what method of graft harvesting.  Some patients with curly hair are poor FUE candidates.

Using the FUE method the curl of the hair under the skin may make it more challenging to remove the grafts.  It can be done but chose a hair transplant doctor with experience in dealing with curly hair.  FUT is also possible however you may have more of a scar if you have skin that is prone to keloid formation.

Your hair loss does not look like traction alopecia, but I need more of your hair style and what you have done with your hair to be certain.

First of all, your father's situation does not designate your absolute hair loss pattern ..I advise you to have a FUE operation of 1500- 1800 grafts. Although you dont need a hair restoration and that  regression is just a maturation of hair line  you may decide to have HT ..Doc. determines frontal hair line and debade with you to decide level of new hairline

it is always best to see a hair loss specialist to get evaluated and get the best treatment option and recommendation. As a rule FUE is not as efficient as FUT for individuals with curly hair. 

The answer to this can easily be made during a one on one private consultation with a doctor who can do both FUE and FUT
