What length of hair should I have during the procedure when I have SMP to cover FUE scars? (Photo)

Question

I had 6000 FUE grafts. Obviously the donor zone is heavily depleted! I will have SMP to cover my scars (see photo). What length of hair should I wear for the SMP procedure itself on the day e.g skin fade or longer, as I assume the practitioner will match the ink/dots to that particular style/length. I'm asking because id like to wear my sides both short and long in future - upto grade 2, but I'm worried the dots will only be suitable for one single specific length, and not for another length.

Scalp MicroPigmentation or SMP is usually suitable for one specific length.  You should have the SMP done with the ideal hair length you intend to wear.  SMP is a flat tattoo.  Hairs are three dimensional.  SMP cannot perfectly match hair at various lengths.

When you get SMP, a shorter hair cut will allow the operator to produce an even distribution of the pigments applied. After than, any length hair that works for you is fine.
