Thank you for posting your question on realself.com sanskar bansal. Replacing your white hair with black ones might seem like a good idea, but it would not last as the black hairs may also turn white as well. There are a number of ways to safely color your hair.

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

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

Karl Hekimian, MD · Answer

This is not an uncommon question.  If your hair is turning white, even if only dark follicles are harvested and transplanted they will eventually turn white also.

You may not be able to stop or control greying of hair but it can easily be treated using variety of hair colours. There is no point is transplanting black hair because eventually they will turn white too.

No, in a hair transplant you can not replace white hairs with black ones. Eventually the black ones will turn white anyway
