Does hair remain black after a hair transplant?

Question

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Hairs don't remain black after surgery.  Your hair may grey like your donor hair one day.  It is always a good idea to follow up with your doctor if you have concerns.

Grant Stevens, MD · Answer

Hair involved in a hair transplant procedure is simply moved from a donor area to a recipient area.  Whatever color the hair is naturally, is the color it will remain in the new location....so if it was black to begin with it will remain black.  If eventually you do go gray, the grafted hair as well as the original hair will go gray.

Roy A. David, MD · Answer

Hair transplant involves moving hairs from the back of the scalp (that are not programmed to die) to the bald areas of the hairline, midscalp, and crown. These transplanted hairs should  retain their natural color, texture, thickness, etc.

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

The hair color does not change when they grow back after a transplant. If hairs are black they remain black.

Rashid M. Rashid, PhD, MD · Answer

The color of your hair after a transplant will follow your pattern as if you had not had a transplant. So if your hair was going to become gray at some point, that will still occur.  Hair transplants have not been shown to affect hair color.
