Senior Member jagdish Posted May 27, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted May 27, 2006 I have only black hairs and no white hairs before HT. But I observed one transplanted hair growing in white colour. I am not concerned about it as it is only one single hair at temple area. But I would just like to know why this hair is coming in white colour. Is it due to some problem while transplanting? or due to less blood supply or something else? Also will it become black after some time? -Jagdish Ravi Vide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member hrthr Posted May 30, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted May 30, 2006 Come on be nice to us older guys. Actually, mine are coming in white but I was told as the hair matures it will become darker. Don't worry be happy mon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member PB Posted May 31, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted May 31, 2006 I am an "older guy" (46) . I haven't noticed any change in color as my transplanted hair grew - most of my hair came in the same light-brown color it was in the donor area. The techs said I had a few white donor hairs and asked if I wanted them or not, I took them, better white hair than no hair The only white hairs I have are the ones that were white already before the HT.

Senior Member jagdish Posted May 31, 2006 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 31, 2006 hmm. I am just 28 and I had only black hairs before HT. I was just surprised from where I got this white hair. The doctor has good amount of white hairs. It seems by mistake he transplanted one of his white hairs. Ravi Vide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member hrthr Posted May 31, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted May 31, 2006 OK, some are coming in white or more to the point they seem to be much lighter in color. I understood the hair developed more pigmentation as it matured. But hey, I will take white or whatever. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member angel706 Posted May 31, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted May 31, 2006 jagdish, my husband is 42 and has only a handful of white hairs in his very dark brown hair (he's of Hispanic descent). Seriously, I could probably count all his white hairs on one hand. And he only started sprouting those within the past few years. So maybe it's just an oddball hair. You could pluck it if it annoys you. I wouldn't necessarily say you're headed for a head full of white hairs anytime soon. Even if you were, no big deal...just color it! I've been coloring my hair for 14 years, since age 21 (early gray runs in my family). They make good products "just for men" these days (though I personally think the only difference is in the packaging and marketing). Anyway, I seriously doubt it has anything to do with the transplant. You may have just had a sneaky little white one back in your donor area, and you never noticed it before because it was on the back of your head.

Senior Member jagdish Posted May 31, 2006 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 31, 2006 Angel, I think you are right. I would not have noticed this white hair which was already there before HT. Thanks all for your comments. Especially PB who scared me that I am getting old Ravi Vide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
