@texastxp, Welcome to Connect and Congratulations on your liver transplant. You have certainly had a busy couple of months and I hope that you are healing and will be soon returning to some of your normal/pre liver failure/transplant activities!
My transplant was in 2009 when I received a liver and kidney at Mayo Rochester. Unlike you, I had one surgery for both organs. And like you I have a white head of hair. It was mostly white before my surgery because I have vitiligo which also causes nonpigmented areas of skin that don't tan. This has been active since I was in 5th grade. (I'm mid 70's now) Mom and Grandpa also had white hair, My dad, however, and his dad were bald, as are a couple of my brothers, and now one of my sons. None of them have had a transplant, and are not taking immunosuppressant meds. My hair did get wirey during my liver failure, and it thinned after my transplant surgery. but it was temporary. I was I wish that I had some hair ideas that I could share with you.
How is your recovery coming along? Are you at home now?
Yes hair loss is very common, I cute my very short, I have many bald spot
Biotin for the win! Talk to your team first but that is what I take. My team actually recommended it. It took about two months to start seeing a difference for me. I also use a volumizing shampoo by Joico.
