Scalp Micropigmentation For Fair Hair

Does SMP Work For Pale Skin And Fair Hair Types?

Sometimes there can be a misconception that scalp micropigmentation is only for darker haired men with very black or dark brown hair. This may be because people believe that it is a hair tattoo, so the ink used can only be darker, similar to a lower body tattoo.

The good news for the majority of fair haired men is this is not true. Scalp micropigmentation is able to match a huge range of hair colours from very light to very dark and everything in between. This includes men with very fair hair, unless there are other issues at play that make scalp micropigmentation for fair hair impossible. It is important to note that there are some differences in the type of treatment required, which we will go into more detail below.

How Scalp Micropigmentation Works On Fair Hair

If you have fair hair, it is also common to have lighter skin and smaller hair follicles. However, when your SMP specialist practitioner is beginning the treatment they will have approximately 60 different shades to choose from to help achieve the fair hair colour that you would have naturally had. Oftentimes, they will use a lighter shade in the first session as this allows them to ensure the treatment isn’t too dark and gives a good starting point for any subsequent treatments that are required.

Although, it’s true that a patient can decide to have a pigment shade that is darker than their normal hair colour if they wanted but this would require them to regularly wet shave, to avoid a clash between natural hair and the scalp micropigmentation. If you are considering opting for a darker colour then make sure that you speak to a practitioner that has plenty of experience with scalp micropigmentation for fair hair as they will be able to advise how dark you can go before it looks unnatural.

Explaining the Micropigmentation for Fair Hair Process

The first stage of the treatment works as the foundation layer that sets up the shape and the base colour for your new look. From there, the practitioner can then use the right shade of pigments to create the perfect scalp micropigmentation for fair hair, making the colour as light, or as dark, as the patient wants it to be. They will match the client’s natural follicles in size to replicate it perfectly across the scalp to create a flawless hairline and once the recovery time has been completed it will be ready to show off or add to.

After the first stage is done, many fair headed men choose to have a second treatment completed to help add depth of colour to their new look. If this is something that you want to opt for then you will need to wait at least ten days from your first treatment and be able to shave your head prior to the treatment taking place.
