Curly hair can cover a greater amount of scalp than straighter hair however in some cases curly hair is limited in that the doctor cannot harvest as many grafts as with straighter hair. This is because curly hair requires more care to avoid transection during prep.
I think one of the biggest factors concerning the final result is how the grafts are placed. If the incisions are made properly, for instance, with flat blades and oriented perpendicularly to the direction of growth, aka, the "lateral slit techniuqe", then the staggering or shingling effect (like tiles on a roof) that this allows for can and does give better coverage. Better coverage increases this illusion of density that has been mentioned.
