Likewise, the rate at which the transplanted hair will gray will be the same as the graying of the hair on the back and sides of the scalp, i.e. where the transplanted hair came from. In addition, if the hair in the donor area thins over the years, the transplanted hair will thin as well The transplanted hair will gray just as your other hair will.

When the donor strip is removed and the edges closed, the remaining hair is redistributed without a visible decrease in the thickness of the remaining hair. However, if an excessive amount of donor hair is used up, then the area may appear thinner.

Hair that is transplanted is your own hair and therefore can be cut, styled, dyed, etc. as you like. It is cautioned, however, that tight braids, hair extensions, and other forms of styling which cause continuous traction on the transplanted hair is not recommended and can lead to traction alopecia.

Since a hair transplant uses hair taken from the part of the scalp that is not sensitive to DHT (the permanent zone) finasteride will have no effect on the actual hair that is transplanted.
