Does transplanted hair turn grey?
After getting the hair transplant, the patients may experience many and different possible conditions such as hair loss, frizzy hair or other side effects. In this section, we’re clarifying that condition of “Greying hair after hair transplantation”. What are the causes? Will it return to normal?
Grey hair after hair transplantation occurs due to two main causes. Firstly, it is caused by the hair transplantation process itself. In the process of removing hair graft from the donor area, several small wounds will occur. This causes the cells in the dermis, where the hair follicles are embedded, to become stressed and temporarily stop functioning. As a result, the melanocytes which are melanin-producing cells also consequently stop functioning, leading to greying hair. This type of grey hair can be found both in the transplanted area and area around the donor area. However, this type of gray hair is a side effect that may be seen in some patients and is only temporary.
The other cause of grey hair is due to grey hair implantation. In some cases, the patient has insufficient black hair grafts, the grey hair needs to be used unavoidably. When the grey hair is implanted into the bald or thinning area, the newly grown hair naturally becomes grey as the embedded characteristics. So don’t wait until it’s too late. Consult our doctor to find the best solution to your hair loss and thinning problem in a timely manner.
In the case of grey hair after hair transplantation, caused by the first factor (hair transplant surgery procedure), it will last in a short period of time, just about 2-3 months. Once the cells return to normal, grey hair will gradually disappear automatically. If no abnormality is detected, you can cover your grey hair by choosing a safe and nonirritating hair dye.
