Question:
I’ve been curious about something. My hair at the front is mostly gray. My hair at the sides and back is mostly brown. Since my donor area is mostly brown, will my transplanted hair stay brown? It doesn’t really matter, I’m just curious.
Answer:
In most cases the transplanted hair will remain the same color as it was before being removed from the donor area. The transplanted hair may change colors with normal aging according to the genetic game plan for that particular patient. Just for Men hair color is relatively safe. I recommend waiting at least 1 month after the procedure before using any hair coloring products.
