White layer on head post hair transplant? (Photo)

Nitin83Nov 30, 2017
It's been 2 weeks post my hair transplant. Am washing my hair using mild shampoo given by doctor. Now I see a white layer on head after bath. My doctor says it's dandruff and advised me to use anti dandruff shampoo ERIZOL for next 10 days on daily basis. Please provide your views if this is fine

You cannot "replace" a grey hair with a black hair.  Even if you could, the black hair may later turn grey.
