The average cost of an Afro Hair Transplant in Turkey in 2026 ranges from €2,000 to €3,500, depending on the technique (DHI vs. Sapphire FUE) and the complexity of the curl pattern. While standard straight hair procedures may be lower in price, Afro-textured hair restoration requires specialized manual extraction techniques and longer surgical times to ensure the safety of the grafts.
Why Does Afro Hair Transplant Cost More in Turkey?
Afro hair transplants are more expensive because they are surgically more complex and time-consuming. Unlike straight hair, where the follicle grows vertically, Afro-textured hair (Type 4) has a “C-shaped” or “J-shaped” curl beneath the skin. This makes the root invisible from the surface.
Because the root curls, using a standard automated FUE device risks cutting the follicle. Therefore, experienced surgeons must use Manual Extraction or specialized punches with a wider diameter (0.9mm – 1.0mm) to safely navigate the curl. This meticulous process often takes twice as long as a standard surgery, increasing the operational cost by approximately 20-30%.
Clinic Care Center: Expert Warning
The biggest risk for Afro-textured hair is Transection (accidentally cutting the root). In standard straight hair, the root is predictable. In Afro hair, the root curls under the skin. If an inexperienced surgeon uses a standard high-speed micromotor, they may destroy up to 50% of your donor grafts. We prioritize a ‘Test Session’ first to determine the curl direction. Safety and survival rates are more important than speed.

Factors Affecting Your Package Price
Not all Afro hair transplants are priced the same. Your final quote will depend on the following medical factors:
- Curl Tightness (The “Graft Challenge”): Patients with tighter, coily hair (Type 4C) require slower, manual extraction to avoid damaging the follicles. This increased surgical time raises the cost.
- Session Length (Mega Sessions): To ensure maximum survival, high-graft count surgeries (3,000+ grafts) may be split over two consecutive days, which requires double the medical resources.
- Surgeon Expertise: While technicians perform many standard surgeries, Afro hair requires a Senior Surgeon or a specialized specialist to perform the extraction, which commands a higher fee.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is 3000 grafts Afro hair transplant?
A 3,000 graft procedure for Afro hair typically costs between €2,800 and €3,500. This is slightly higher than standard hair types because extracting 3,000 curly grafts takes significantly longer and often requires a two-day session to maintain high graft survival rates.
Why is the failure rate higher for Afro hair?
The failure rate is higher only when performed by inexperienced clinics. The primary cause is transection, where the surgeon cuts through the hidden curl of the root while trying to extract it. At Clinic Care Center, we use a pre-surgery test session to mitigate this risk completely.
Do I have to shave my head for the procedure?
Yes, for Afro hair extraction, shaving the donor area is almost always mandatory. It allows the surgeon to see the angle of the hair exit and predict the subsurface curl. Unshaven procedures significantly increase the risk of graft damage in Type 4 hair.
Is DHI better for Afro hair?
DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) is excellent for the implantation phase as it allows precise control over angle and depth without making pre-incisions. However, the critical success factor for Afro hair is the extraction method, which must be done carefully regardless of whether DHI or Sapphire blades are used for implantation.
Can I use beard hair for density?
Yes, beard hair is an excellent donor source for Afro hair transplants. Beard hair often matches the texture and curl of Afro scalp hair better than straight hair does, making it a perfect filler for adding density to the mid-scalp or crown.
Does Afro hair transplant leave scars?
If performed correctly using FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction), scarring is minimal and invisible to the naked eye. However, patients of African descent have a higher genetic predisposition to keloid scarring. We perform a medical history check to assess your keloid risk before surgery.
Is the hotel included in the price?
Yes, most reputable packages in Turkey, including ours, are all-inclusive. This typically covers 3 nights in a 4-star or 5-star hotel, VIP airport transfers, all necessary medications, and post-operative wash services.
How long does the recovery take?
Recovery for Afro hair is similar to other types, with scabs falling off within 10 to 14 days. However, because curly hair can be prone to ingrown hairs, we provide a specialized post-care washing protocol to prevent folliculitis during the regrowth phase.
