hy. I am 26 years old male.i am in 14th day postop now. I went through FUT hair transplant and now when scabs are clear from recipient area I have noticed several white hairs. my head was shaved for transplant so these hairs could not be my existing hair. I have noticed these white hairs both in transplanted and donor area. I had not a single hair before . I have just used pyodine srub for 12 days for washing hair after transplant and oxoferin solution for better healing only at recipient area.

Answer: Transplanted hairs do not immediately turn white or change colors after surgery.

It is very difficult to comment without seeing your pics but in my opinion, you should keep on using minoxidil even though it is just increasing the time period of hair on your scalp. As it will help to decrease the requirement of grafts right now. You can have a limited number of grafts now ...

If your request is to have thicker hair, and you care to send photographs, we would be happy to analyze them and give you an opinion. Generally leg hair is not dense enough to be used for a hair transplant.best of luck,
