I'd stick with meds and even consider PRP (platelet rich plasma) for a few years to preserve and/or slow down loss as much as possible. Then at the age of 24 or 25 revisit the idea of a transplant. Any earlier and you may not have an optimal outcome if hair loss creates an obvious transition z...
What you are probably seeing is the absorption of water of the grafts which turn them white. I believe if you look at the grafts hours after you wash, you will not see these whitish areas.
Shock loss or acceleration of the normal hair loss pattern occurs after a hair transplant. This can be prevented with the drug finasteride (see video below).
