EVERYTHING TO KNOW ABOUT AFRO HAIR

Her Coils Needed More: Her Post-Transplant Journey with ZAMATA

Author: Malehlohonolo Romdhani

People choose to undergo hair transplants for many personal reasons—whether it’s to restore confidence, fill in thinning areas, or reclaim a sense of self. This blog isn’t here to promote or oppose the procedure, but simply to highlight something we see again and again: when it comes to coily hair, our needs are still often overlooked.

This is the story of one woman with Type 4 coils who, after her transplant, found that even in a clinical setting, the aftercare provided didn’t work for her texture—and how switching to ZAMATA’s full routine helped her scalp recover and her hair thrive.

✨ The Beginning: A New Chapter

Beginning of  November 2024, our dear friend underwent a hair transplant—a decision filled with hope, but also a lot of uncertainty. Like many women with Type 4 hair, she wondered: Will the transplant work for my coily Afrohair? Will I find the right products to support my healing? 

Following her surgeon’s guidance, she began her recovery using the medical shampoo provided by the clinic. It was designed to be gentle and safe—but something wasn’t working.

❌ What Went Wrong?

While the shampoo provided by the clinic was labeled “medically approved,” it wasn’t made with coily or Afro-textured hair in mind.

After each wash, her scalp didn’t feel clean—instead, it felt tight, greasy, and sticky, especially in the freshly transplanted area.

The product left behind a film, and instead of feeling soothed, her scalp felt suffocated.

Her hair wasn't getting what it needed either. It looked dull, felt dry and made her feel apprehensive about whether it was going to get better. Her donor area on the side of her head looked like it was going to need a new hair transplant as there was no longer any hair left.

Her hair was craving something different—something that actually worked for her texture and supported her healing.

🌿 The Switch to ZAMATA

After 2 months, once her scalp had healed enough for massage and product use, she made the switch to ZAMATA’s full product routine—but not without care.

She sent our ingredient list to her surgeon, who reviewed each component and gave her the go-ahead to begin.

She started with:
🧴 Our mild Sulfate-Free Shampoo – for a deep yet gentle cleanse
💦 The Hydrating Conditioner – for moisture and softness

💦 Our Leave-in Conditioner - for intensive long-lasting moisture
🌿 And our Hair Oil – to support regrowth with regular scalp massage.

💛 The Results

What followed was nothing short of amazing.
With consistent care, her scalp felt calm, her donor area filled in beautifully, and her coils began to thrive again.

Her texture returned. Her hair felt soft, full, and alive.
But more importantly—she felt like herself again.

Coily hair isn’t just different—it’s special.
And it needs aftercare that goes beyond generic instructions or one-size-fits-all products.
It needs clean, certified, coil-conscious support—like what we create at ZAMATA.
