This is because you were sold a false bill of goods about the so-called "donor-area". It indeed does get thinner with age. Look at pictures of Dick Cheney................his "wreath hair" was much thicker in the 1970s when he was younger than what it is now. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ford_meets_with_Rumsfeld_and_Cheney%2C_April_28%2C_1975.jpg


The transplanted dark hair from the back, stayed dark ten full years after being put up front, surrounded by greying hair.................completely unchanged by it. Its been shown that it will stay dark (other observations) until the hair in the back begins to change color also.............
