If you are considering a hair transplant, you probably have a few questions. Matching your hair color may not be one of them. After all, a hair transplant is not about dyeing your hair. It’s about growing new hair in a place that has never been before. Still a valid question: Could there be a problem with the transplanted hair not matching the surrounding hair color?
Matching Hair Color After Hair Transplant
The answer is that it depends on the situation. If your hair has started to turn white in some areas, the transplanted hair may be a different shade from the hair surrounding the recipient area. Even if you’re younger and don’t have gray hair yet, your hair color may have changed a bit over time, as it does for most people.
The good news with a hair transplant method such as Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is that the donor hair follicles are removed one by one and randomly from the back of your head. This means they will not be uniform in color and will be easier to blend. The Strip Method, or FUT, on the other hand, removes a single strip of hair, which is probably more homogeneous.
Can I Dye My Hair After Hair Transplant?
Even if you are not worried about a possible hair color incompatibility between your existing hair and the transplanted hair, you may have questions about whether it is safe to dye your hair after hair transplantation. This may be of particular interest to women who have had a hair transplant. You may already be dyeing your hair and want your hair color to be uniform. But is it safe to apply hair dye to your newly transplanted hair?
Again, the faster healing FUE method has an advantage over the slower healing strip method. You will not want to apply the aggressive chemicals used in hair dye to incisions that have not fully healed. The tiny red holes lining your scalp typically shed and fall off within 7-10 days after your transplant, according to womensacecekimi.com. This is much shorter than the FUT method, where the linear scar on the back of your head can take up to six weeks to fully heal.
To be safe, you should always ask your hair doctor when it is safe to color your hair after a hair transplant.
Can I Continue Using Rogaine After Hair Transplant?
You probably had a hair transplant because you were tired of using other products to stimulate hair growth. Hair transplant is a permanent solution to hair loss and thus makes products like Rogaine (minoxidil) unnecessary.
However, some patients want to continue Rogaine treatment for at least the time it takes for the hair to grow back. In this case, you should wait until it crusts for the same amount of time as other chemicals. recovery time. In FUE hair transplantation, this is typically 7-10 days after surgery, up to 14 days.
If you’re just washing your hair, you don’t have to wait that long. We recommend waiting 48 hours to wash your hair after hair transplantation. After that, if you take certain precautions, it is safe to wash your hair.
