Hey,

For a white guy, when a FUT has fully healed\matured, what color is the scar white or red?

A lot of people have discussed buzzing down to a #1-4 the after FUT wondering how well it would disguise the scar. This is a risky proposition in som people because no hair grows out from the scar, therefore when u have short hair there is a difference between the scarred and non-scarred area because the hair is not long enough to cover the scar.

What about a 0 buzz though? In this case, there would be no hair showing from EITHER the scarred and non-scarred areas, so wouldnt the difference be less noticable?

Of course this all depends on the answer to my first question.....

All the closeups I've seen show them as white. I had scalp reductions and my final one was messy. I still have an area that is red even though it's been 14 years. Ironically though, the strip they pulled out for the 400 grafts isn't visible at all. I can't seperate my hair enough to even see what it looks like.

mines the same colour as my scalp, after 1 or 2 rounds of fue it should be quite hard to find.
