What is Negroid hair (ebony hair)?

In African population the visible density is much more owing to curly hair. The shaft and roots are curly (banana shaped roots)

Number of hair follicles is less per square cm, even then the density looks great owing to curliness.
So requirement of hair follicles is usually less to get good results.
The utmost care is mandatory during separation of hairs in this population. FUE technique leads to more damage to hair grafts (owing to curliness of hair, straight punches are more likely to cut the roots).
Still the recommended technique is strip method in african hairs.
Team has wide experience in negroid/ebony hair. Meticulous strip harvesting and meticulous root separation is required to save their curly roots.
