It’s easy to see why scalp micropigmentation (SMP) has become one of the most popular hair loss treatments available. It’s suitable for both men and women, produces extremely realistic results, and is intended to be a long-term solution to hair loss issues such as thinning hair, receding hairlines, and even alopecia.
One of the most common concerns about scalp micropigmentation is how it affects different hair colours. When it comes to scalp micropigmentation, does the colour of your hair matter? In this post, we’ll look at how SMP artists combine the pigments to match your hair colour properly.
In scalp micropigmentation, what sort of ink is used?
Pigments are used in scalp micropigmentation therapy instead of ink. SMP pigments are carbon-based, which means the ink is organic and does not break into blue and green colours over time, unlike traditional tattoo ink formed of composite materials. In addition, as compared to tattoo ink, SMP pigments are able to hold their colour and saturation longer, contributing to the treatment’s overall lifetime.
Heavy metals are fairly low in scalp micropigmentation ink, and each drop of ink is carefully implanted to get that natural effect. Tattoo ink, which is subject to fading under the sun’s rays, is not utilised for SMP treatments since the pigments are deposited into the epidermis (the outermost layer of the skin).
How do SMP professionals match pigments to a client’s hair colour?
Each customer has specific requirements, and it is the responsibility of the SMP team to guarantee that the treatment matches their hair colour exactly. Our experts achieve this by diluting a black carbon-based pigment with distilled water. Water is carefully added to the pigment and mixed until it achieves the desired colour and tone. When diluting the pigment, SMP experts can control the shade by adding more or less water.
If the client’s hair is lighter, for example, our expert would use more water to obtain a lighter tone. A person with dark hair, on the other hand, will receive less water. If the customer has all black hair, she may not even use water. We recommend going to a professional scalp micropigmentation practitioner to acquire the proper colour for your hair because this process involves a lot of experience.
What if the customer has a fair complexion and blonde hair? Is scalp micropigmentation still a realistic choice?
Absolutely. Scalp micropigmentation will work for you regardless of your skin tone. The SMP professional will just need a few drops of distilled water to achieve a blonde tint for individuals with blonde hair. Because the amount of water supplied must be exact, SMP experts use a syringe to quantify the amount of water required to get the desired colour. During the pigment-dilution procedure, our SMP team will consider your skin tone to produce a perfect appearance that is undetectable to the eye.
Is it possible to modify the colour of my scalp micropigmentation?
You certainly can. Scalp micropigmentation has the advantage of being very adjustable. You may customise your SMP treatment to suit your needs, from the appearance of your hairline to the colour of the treatment itself. You can choose a lighter or darker tint during a touchup, and the SMP experts will try their best to match your hair colour. You can choose for longer, thicker hair or a buzz cut that is neatly shaved. Scalp micropigmentation is attractive to persons who are experiencing hair loss because of its customizability.
