Eyebrow Transplantation - What Happens when Transplanted Follicles Turn Gray?

February 7, 2013
Asked By:asdf1234567

For eyebrow transplantation, I know that the doctor would choose the darkest hair follicles, but wouldn't those transplanted hair follicles turn gray eventually? Another question is once they are transplanted to the eyebrow site, would they become like eyebrow hair and not turn gray? If not, what can I do to prevent the transplanted hair from turning gray?
