Modern hair loss treatments for Afro-textured hair: What you should know
Afro-textured hair requires specialised care to prevent and treat hair loss. Tight braids, weaves, relaxers, and chemical treatments can contribute to traction alopecia and permanent follicle damage if not managed correctly. Dr Kashmal Kalan, Medical Director at Alvi Armani South Africa, highlights advanced hair restoration solutions tailored for Afro-textured hair, including modified hair transplant techniques that respect follicle curl patterns and reduce the risk of keloid scarring. Early intervention, culturally aware styling choices, and professional guidance are key to restoring confidence and maintaining healthy hair.
