SMP and coloring my hair?

GreenhouzeSep 23, 2016
If I have SMP can I still dye my hair? Will the hair dye impact the integrity of of the scalp pigmentation? I would like to consider SMP to help with my thinning hair, and I plan on wearing it about an 1/2 in long, so I would not shave my head. However I would like to keep my gray hair in check with hair coloring. Is this a problem?

Scalp MicroPigmentation SMP risk is similar to the risk of having a tattoo.  The ingredients are variable depending on the clinic.

If you want to know why your SMP turned blue, the first person to ask would be the clinic.  Otherwise it would be almost impossible to tell since your clinic is the only source of treatment.

Shaving your head should not make your SMP fade or fade any faster.  SMP is like a tattoo.  It is under your skin.
