Yeah, i think hopefully you can dye it and should be fine. I guess you get a hair transplant to give you a more youthful look, you don't want greys make you look aged lol

Lol exactly 😄 well put

I have always used Just For Men and have never had a problem with it. I try to go about 6 weeks before dying it.

 

 

 

Hey thank you for replying.

I see that just for men has PPD in it, was that no issue for the transplanted hairs? Are the grafts all healthy several months down the road?

It is safe.  I used to dye mine and did so about 4 weeks post op.  However, this was Just For Men which is one of the milder dyes (relatively) out there.

Hey thank you for replying.

So I see just for men has PPD in it, no issues? And grafts were all healthy down the road?

Do you want to dye it personally or have to do so for a job etc.? 

I'd personally try to avoid using bleach/dye for the full 12 months but i know others on here will probably say its safe after X duration of time. 

 Thank you for replying.

I want to dye it Personally. I'm 31 and have gone nearly 65% grey. Have been dying it for 10 years already and have never been out showing the whites yet. For the last 2 weeks I've been wearing a hat to cover the whites. I would love to wait the full 12 months but that'll be quite difficult to do.

Hello everyone,

I'm at 37 days post-op. Planning to dye my hair at 6 weeks post-op. (2500 grafts NW 2)

1. Is that too early to dye the transplanted hair? If so when is it safe to do so?

2. Almost every dye I'm finding either has PPD in it or peroxide (no ammonia though) Are dyes with PPD or peroxide okay to use on transplanted hair?

(No allergy to either, have used such dyes before.)

Thank you for your insight

I honestly wouldn’t be concerned given that you were already 11 days postop when you saw this   By that time, the transplanted hair and the follicle underneath the surface of a scalp is tightly secured.  What you are likely seeing is some shedding of the Transplant hair. Even though that typically occurs between 4 to 6 weeks, it can happen a little early.  Also, I’m assuming you didn’t see any blood? If you lost an actual graft with the follicle intact, you would’ve seen blood and felt pain.  so unless this happened, I don’t believe you have anything to worry about.

Best wishes,

Thank you for your detailed response. You're right, no blood and no pain. Was mainly concerned seeing the bulb at the tip and the white going halfway up the length of the hair. However, definitely more at ease after reading these replies.

Normal shedded hair.

Dislodging a graft is hard to do, very unlikely past the 7 day mark and is usually accompanied with a noticeable trickle of blood. Nothing to worry about. 

Thank you so much for your response.

It's The 11th day post-procedure and I wore a loose fitting 100% cotton hat for the first time. After 15 minutes I took it off and on the inner rim I found what's shown in the image. Is that a lost graft or just hair that sheds normally? Anyone have example photos of what normal shedding vs lost graft looks like?

Thank you
