Things to Avoid After Your Hair Transplant

A successful hair transplant procedure is just the first step towards achieving your desired results. Proper post-hair transplant care is crucial for ensuring optimal healing and protecting your newly transplanted hair grafts.

To help you in this important recovery period, we’ve compiled a list of top 10 things to avoid after your hair transplant.

1. Don’t Sleep Flat

For the first week, keep your head on a pillow while sleeping. This reduces swelling and promotes faster healing.

 

  2. Do Not Scratch

Resist the urge to touch, scratch, or rub your scalp for at least the first 72 hours. Your newly transplanted follicles need time to settle in without disturbance.

3. Skip the Shampoo Temporarily

Hold off on washing your hair for the first 48 hours. After that, follow your surgeon’s instructions for gentle cleansing techniques using mild products.

 

4. Avoid Sun Exposure

Keep your scalp out of direct sunlight for at least two weeks. If you must go outside, wear a loose-fitting hat.

 

 5. Say No to Exercise

Take it easy for the first week or two. Avoid activities that raise your heart rate or cause excessive sweating, as this can interfere with healing.

 6. Put the Products Away

Hair dyes, gels, and other chemical treatments are off-limits for at least a month. Let your scalp heal naturally before introducing any products.

 7. Stay Hydrated (But Skip the Alcohol)

Drink plenty of water to help recovery, but avoid alcohol for at least five days post-procedure. Alcohol can dehydrate you and potentially interfere with healing.

 8. Don’t Stress About Shedding

It’s normal to experience some shedding 2-4 weeks after your transplant. This is part of the process – don’t worry, new growth is on its way!

 9. No Smoking

If you smoke, try to quit or at least stop for a month after your transplant. Nicotine can restrict blood flow and negatively impact your results.

 

 

 

10. Avoid Overexertion

Take it easy. This means no heavy lifting, intense workouts, or activities that could cause you to bump or injure your scalp.

 

Remember, following these guidelines is crucial for achieving the best possible outcome from your hair transplant.
