When is it ok to bleach my hair after a hair transplant?

Question

I got a hair transplant in December 2014 on my hairline to lower it a bit, when is it ok to bleach my hair again blonde?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

After a few months coloring your hair should be fine.  You should always consult your doctor if you are concerned.

Vivek Bansal, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. You should have your hair evaluated by the surgeon, and then determine when it is ok to bleach it again.  The chemicals can be harsh so you do not want to cause any unnecessary irritation. I hope this helps!

Tim Neavin, MD · Answer

I tend to be conservative and tell patients to wait 6 weeks.  I'm not sure there is any concrete number, but you probably spent a lot of money and wouldn't chance on doing this again any time soon.

Although you should check with your doctor, usually after the first month you are clear to do what you want with your hair transplant

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

You can do this after all of the crust are gone and you have waited about 3 weeks for everything to heal. I generally recommend that my patients color their hair before a hair transplant
