Difference of hair color in back of head in comparison to front. Any suggestions?

KenaniDec 3, 2015

Hi, I am considering getting an FUE transplant. My hair is a sort of dirty blonde color. In the front where most of the hair will be transplanted I am more blonde than where the hair will be taken out from (back of head). My question is whether the hair color in the front will receive the more blond-ish color due to sun exposure and position or will it stay rather dark like its origin. Thanks in advance!

Bases on the pictures you provided, it appears the combination of the grafts being placed deep and or the size of the device making the recipient sites could be the issue.Have you made contact with the Doc that performed your procedure?

If you have dandruff, use dandruff shampoo. If you have fungal infection, use anti-fungal shampoo.  However, it is best you see your doctor for a proper exam and proper treatment.

I typically tell my patients that you can go back to normal activity after day 10 respectively.You would however want to avoid sunburns for a period of 90 days after surgery.
