What Is Your Opinion On Hair Tattoos?
Q: What is your take on hair tattoos?
A: I don’t think that it is a good idea since, as the pigment is absorbed deeper into the skin, the tattoos tend to change color over time, developing a bluish hue. This gives a distinctly unnatural appearance. However, techniques are improving and there is increasing demand for Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) procedures.

Q: I am a 45 year old women and I am beginning to thin on the top of my scalp. I don’t want to use medications and I don’t think that I am quite ready for surgery. Is there anything else I can do? — E.H., Rye, NY
A: There are a number of things that you can do that can make you hair look more full and help disguise the thinning. Lightening ones hair will allow the hair to reflect more light and appear thicker. In lighter-skinned races it will have the additional advantage of decreasing the contrast between the hair and skin and thus the skin will essentially act as a filler between the strands of hair.
