Jan22transplant2500 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member NARMAK Posted February 24, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 24, 2022 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. 1 Follow my first Hair Transplant Journey!

Senior Member 1978matt Posted February 24, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 24, 2022 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. 1 4,312 FUT grafts (7,676 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2013 1,145 FUE grafts (3,152 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2018 763 FUE grafts (2,094 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - January 2020 Proscar 1.25mg every 3rd day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try to go about 6 weeks before dying it. 1 Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And grafts were all healthy down the road? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you get a hair transplant to give you a more youthful look, you don't want greys make you look aged lol Follow my first Hair Transplant Journey!
