    Default Do I Have To Stop Coloring My Hair Before Or After a Hair Transplant?

    I am wanting to start coloring my hair. If I color my hair, can I still get a hair transplant? Do I have to stop coloring my hair before or after the hair transplant? - Todd

    Thats an interesting thought, you should ask this guy:

    I'm curious about the answer myself. I wouldn't think so, but hey who knows.

    Before my temple surgery I had my hair colored with blond streaks about a month before. It didn't make a difference what so ever. I just recently colored my hair again after growing it out from a buzz cut this summer and I'm loving it! Damn it feels good to have options.

    Question Does It Cause Hair Loss?

    Can coloring your hair make you lose it? I'm prematurely gray and have been coloring for years. Is it possible that this is causing some of my hair loss?

    Here are a few things that WILL hurt your hair:

    1. Constant traction- like repeatedly pulling your hair back into a tight ponytail or bun.
    2. Constant plucking-trichotilomania
    3. Wearing hair systems for a long time.
    4. The adhesive from hair systems.
    5. Significant physical trauma like having been hit by a bus.
    6. Significant psychological trauma like grief,a severely broken heart, or democrats controlling all three branches of government.
    7. Prolonged illness. See number 6.
    Thanks Dr. Feller. That makes me feel better.
