Is A Certain Hair Color Better for Transplanting?
Is lighter hair color or darker hair color better for a transplant and why is that the case?
Hair transplants work on any color hair; however, a lower contrast between hair and scalp color makes less hair look like more hair. That means that a blonde with light skin is ideal. Brown hair against brown skin and black hair against dark skin also looks better and takes less hair to accomplish a good sense of fullness. For example, a 1000 graft surgery on a blonde hair , pale skin tone person will look fuller than the same 1000 graft surgery on a pale person with black hair (with the same hair loss pattern).
Also note that hair texture (fine vs coarse), hair length (long vs short), hair wave (straight vs curly) also play a BIG part. These characteristics are not only for hair transplantation itself, but how one’s hair looks in general. If a blonde hair pale skin patient who keeps their hair long and wavy has a hair transplant and decides to cut their hair very short, straighten their hair, or dye it black, often the results of a hair transplant would not appear as good.
