Question regarding hair dye


Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.

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.

 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.

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
