Does scalp micropigmentation work for fair hair such as blond, gray and brown?

A brief overview of SMP:

Scalp Micropigmentation has become popular during the last decade. This method simulates hair follicles on the scalp and has a wide range of applications. This method works for all genders with baldness, thinning hair, receding hairline, scars and marks on the head or face and diseases such as alopecia.
One of the most frequently asked questions that people, women, in particular, ask us is about their hair colour. They want to know if the pigments match my current hair colour or want to know if we dye our hair in the next few months, the SMP would be noticeable. All these questions and other common questions will be answered in this article.

Does Scalp Micropigmentation work on blond, gray, brown and red hair?

Yes. It does. Scalp micropigmentation works on every skin and hair colour without limitation. The only thing is to make a colour that matches your condition. Black ink is the only colour that is used for SMP and it works for all blond, brown and gray hair. You can read the reason in the next paragraph.
Despite the general belief that different ink colours are used for different colours of skin and hairs, in scalp micropigmentation, only black ink is used for the simulation of hair dots. This belief comes from permanent makeup because the PMU artists use different colours based on skin and hair tonnage.

Why does the Black ink work for all skin and hair in scalp micropigmentation?

One matter that you might have not paid attention to so far is a shaved head appearance. No matter what hair colour you have, the natural hair follicles that are in your scalp, due to the reflection of the sunlight turn gray. That is the reason a shaved head looks gray. Here I provided some pictures that show the gray hair follicles on the scalp apart from your hair colour.

How does an artist match the SMP ink on my scalp?

So, because of the aforementioned reason, the ink of scalp micropigmentation should be matched with your skin colour, not your hair colour. If your skin colour is lighter with cooler tonnage, the artist dilutes the ink by adding water based on the chart that we provided for ourselves. If your skin colour is darker, a darker black is applied to the clientele’s scalp.
Notice1: The colour of the ink is black in all conditions and like real hair follicles, after placing those on the scalp and because of the environment's light reflections, they could be seen as gray like your natural hair.
Notice 2: We use lighter black ink in the first session and the colour of the ink gets darker step by step to achieve a 3D look of hair follicles at the end of the treatment.

Can you dye your hair with scalp micropigmentation?

Another frequently asked question about scalp micropigmentation is about colouring the hair after SMP treatment. Yes, you can dye your hair after scalp micropigmentation with your desired colour for 2 reasons:

  • As previously mentioned, the hair follicles on the scalp are naturally gray, regardless of your hair colour, and they will maintain their realistic appearance even after colouring your hair.
  • After 2 or 3 days, the roots of your hair grow and get matched with the colour of your previous hair colour.

how long after SMP I can dye my hair?

To protect the SMP pigments it is better to avoid chemical products such as dyes for at least two weeks. After 2 weeks of your SMP treatment, you can dye your hair.  

Does scalp micropigmentation work for everyone?

Yes, due to the answers above, we can say scalp micropigmentation works for everyone with any type of skin, any skin colour and any hair colour.

Can I ask for brown Scalp micropigmentation ink?

Yes, you can ask and there are brown SMP inks in the market, but we are not using brown inks in MB Elegant Micro.

Although In many SMP clinics, brown inks are offered for blond hairs, most of those inks are provided by permanent makeup suppliers with no deep knowledge of scalp micropigmentation.

There are two reasons that brown colour is not used by most of the experienced artists and/or experts in SMP:

  • The brown colour fades much faster than the black colour and needs a touch-up after a few months. So, you have to pay frequently to have a fresh look.
  • The SMP inks are carbon-based, and they are organic inks which do not turn blue, green, and other colours like tattoo inks. Turning those black carbon-based inks to brown without additives is impossible, so, the possibility of turning to other colours would increase.

Does my hairstyle affect my scalp micropigmentation?

In some cases yes, and in some cases no. If you have baldness on your scalp you probably need to get sport-SMP as a shaved head look. However, in other cases, you can keep your hair long and get SMP treatment.

Does scalp micropigmentation work on gray hair?

Gray hair is the same as blond hair. Only lighter black should be used for the gray hair to create a realistic result on the scalp.
