The donor area scarring from your strip surgery may show up as bumps and redness. If you are considering FUE surgery you must realize that you will have to shave that area exposing the exiting linear scar.

For women who will never keep their hairs buzz cut short (like men) FUE may NOT be the best option.  FUE involves shaving your scalp for the surgery.  FUT does not require a hair cut or a shave.

Sleeping with a hair concealer should not have any issues with hair loss or hair transplant surgery.  If you are concerned it is a good idea to check with your doctor.

Hi 500c,There should not be any issues with coloring the hair after a hair transplantation. I would certainly wait for at least two weeks before doing it.Good luck!

Fine baby vellus hairs cannot be transplanted. Transplanted hairs are the same texture and character as the donor hair.  What you are describing of harvesting neck hairs do not work.  Even if it does, it will likely leave scars on the nape of your neck.

There should be no issue of growing dreadlocks after a hair transplant since the transplanted hair will grow like your own hair.
