Dyeing hair during the delicate post-operative period may affect the scalp and transplanted hair. This article details the precautions and recommended care regarding coloring after hair transplant surgery.
Timing of hair dyeing after surgery
1. When to start coloring
While your doctor’s advice is paramount regarding the right time to start coloring your hair after hair transplant surgery, here are some general guidelines to keep in mind:
First 4-6 weeks: It is recommended to avoid coloring until the wounds in the transplant and donor areas are fully healed. During this period, the scalp is in a sensitive state and chemicals may increase the risk of irritation and infection.
Check with your doctor: Before you start coloring your hair, be sure to check with your doctor to see how your scalp is doing and how your healing is progressing.
How to choose a coloring product
1. Hypoallergenic products
Choose hypoallergenic hair dye products to minimize scalp irritation.
Ammonium Free: Ammonium free products are gentler on the scalp and less irritating.
Paraphenylenediamine (PPD) Free: Choose products that do not contain PPD, which can cause allergic reactions.
Contains natural ingredients: Products containing herbs and organic ingredients are gentle on the scalp and hair and are safe.
2. Test dyeing
Before using any new hair dye product, always do a patch test to check for any allergic reactions or irritation.
Patch test: Apply a small amount of hair dye behind your ear or on the inside of your arm and check after 24-48 hours for any abnormalities.
