I'm seeing the same after transplant. Don't know what could have caused it though. I didn't have any grey/white hair pre-transplant so it is odd that I started seeing them now all of a sudden. Not a whole lot though to bug me but I have seen them here and there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No.. Not in the receipient area. It's in native or surrounding area. Not transplanted ones. Mostly they are in the back or side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now in past 15 days, I have close to 20 such hairs Yeah, I searched the board to see if anyone had previously report this but couldn't find anything. I just accepted it as maybe I'm just getting old (hah!) even though I had no grey hair prior. Mine are mostly in the back and sides, similar to you. It's really odd but I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Senior Member TheGreatPretender Posted August 10, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted August 10, 2023 I have had some whiteish hairs coming out of my head and I can see some to have been implanted too. Doesn't bother me too much, I'll turn into Geralt Of Rivia if I have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HappyMan2021 Posted August 11, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted August 11, 2023 Pictures??? Is the grey hair "blended in"/does it appear in sporadic pockets? Or does it look odd where you have a bunch of grey hair surrounded by normal-colored hair? If it bothers you i think the only solution is dying your hair.

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted August 11, 2023 Moderators Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) It could be that they took all darker hairs as they are easy to see, so now that you have much less dark hairs a few gray ones that you hadn't noticed before are showing up more. If you have 5 gray hairs and 9595 dark hairs you may not notice the gray ones. Take 5000 dark hairs out and you now have 5 gray and 4595 dark. With half of those dark ones gone the gray ones are more noticeable. I don't know if that's the issue. Just a thought.

Senior Member JohnCasper Posted August 13, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted August 13, 2023 Never heard of that before or ever reported here on the transplant network. Keep us posted. If it number is nominal, I'm sure no one will notice. Keep us posted. I am an online representative for Carolina Hair Surgery & Dr. Mike Vories (Recommended on the Hair Transplant Network).
