I specifically asked my clinic this question prior to my fue procedure since I have a good amount of grey/white hair and if It would be a problem for the procedure or if I should dye my hair 24-hours prior....they informed me with a No, it wouldn’t be an issue and no need to dye it.

How did your transplant work out??  Give us some details, please

The patient should not be worrying about dying the hair if the plan is for a buzz-cut FUE harvest.  Dying long hair that will be clipped is pointless as the hair will continue to grow after it is dyed.  If the procedure is a few days after the dye, all that will be left for the surgeon to see will be a white stubble.  Also, even professional dyes have a hard time getting to the base of the hair shaft.  The surgical team should dye the white stubble after buzzing and before harvesting.  This easily colors the stubble to show hair direction and angle, thereby making extraction as easy as with dark hair.  The attached file shows snow-white hair which was dyed immediately prior to the harvest.  The hair shafts are quite easy to see.

What if I dye the hair the night before the surgery??

Also, whats the brand name of the dye that you are referring to, please??

The doctor is looking for the angulation and direction of the hair shafts.

So you're saying colouring all the way down to the root doesnt matter all that much??

I have a lot of grey hair and I almost always use Just For Men hair color. I also simply dyed my hair the day before surgery as the Dr said doing that would make it easier for him and we would probably get a better yield because he would be able to see the hairs better. No real issues if you just dye it

So your surgeon did a FUE on your grey hair??How many grafts did he get, and what was his transcetion rate??

As mentioned earlier, dying the hair before surgery is the simplest option. Been there myself, no issues whatsoever

Can I please ask which hair dye you used??  Brand name??

I have grey hair but its naturally light brown

Have you had previous work?  How do you know that you have no give in the donor area?  Did you visit with a doctor?

Yes, I had one FUT already (3,900 grafts).  But my laxity is horrible now, I feel very little elasticity

I heard from 2 doctors that its very difficult (if not impossible) to get the hair colouring all the way down to the roots (which is the most important part)

Can it still be done though, or is it too risky??

Can an FUE be done on someone with grey hair??

Reason I'm asking is I have grey hair and I dont have the laxity for a FUT.,

I heard that grey hair is hard to do a FUE on because the transection rate is very high
