Can I color my hair after transplant?

My team asked me to wait six months which I did. Had color and highlights in December and after a week or so my hair color started to fade. It looks ok but not the beautiful color when I l first left my stylist salon. I called her and she said that meds can really affect hair color and also the fact that I had a lot of gray. We are going to try again in a few weeks.

Let me know when you try again and what your results are. BTW, have you also had hair loss?

It is evident from my picture, that I have not colored my hair, but I do remember that after transplant my hair was extremely dry and dull. My finger nails were also extremely brittle. So, yes, my experience is that our meds, do affect hair and in my experience, nails, too.
