We always recommend dyeing the gray hair before the hair graft so that in this way we can clearly see the scalp and the hair that each follicular unit contains, in order to correctly assess the amount that can be extracted and once the intervention has started, see better the area of ​​action.

Some factors that damage our hair

In addition to knowing if hair can be dyed after a hair graft, we must be attentive to external agents that can damage our hair, such as those shown below:

Pollution can harm us

In the case of living in areas with a high concentration of pollution, we must know that washing is essential to take care of our hair and prevent it from being affected by the pollution to which we are exposed in the long run.

Currently there are already shampoos and other hair products that incorporate specific ingredients that help to cope with environmental agents.

Aggressive cosmetics that spoil hair

We must always bear in mind that the composition of the products we use must be as organic as possible and thus avoid that our hair is weakened or our scalp irritated.

Be careful with stress

Stress is a great enemy of our hair, since it can cause the so-called telogen effluvium, causing our hair to fall out more than usual. This can even lead to nervous alopecia.

In addition, being subjected to tension for a long period can cause our hair to weaken and break and / or fall, causing us to lose density.

Nothing to use an inappropriate brush

It is essential that we get the most suitable brush according to the needs of our hair. Smooth, curly, with a tendency to tangles ... We must have a brush that serves to provide us with a good brushing while not breaking our hair or pulling it out with each stroke.

To find out which one is the best for your case, you can ask at your trusted hairdressing store.
