How Should You Wash Your Hair After Hair Transplantation?

• After the operation, the scalp becomes extremely sensitive. Therefore, how to do the washing phase is very important. The earliest time to wash the hair should be 2-3 days after the hair transplant operation.
• Before you start washing, lightly pour the post-operative care lotion on your hair and wait about 1 hour for it to take effect.
• After that, you can proceed to the shampooing stage..

The points you should pay attention to while washing your hair:

• Do not use high water pressure. The water that will flow to your head should flow extremely gently and definitely, should not irritate the scalp.
• The water to wash your hair should be not too warm, never wash with boiling water.
• When shampooing your head, never apply pressure or massage with your fingers. Apply the shampoo with a feather-light touch, wait a few minutes for it to take effect, and rinse again without touching.
• Washing direction should be the direction of hair growth.
• Apply protective lotion, wait 10 minutes and rinse.
• If your hair is long and you need to use a conditioner, use it only on the ends of your hair and avoid touching your scalp.
• Never dry the hair by rubbing it with a towel or using a hot blow dryer. Ideally, it is slightly dampened with thin cheesecloths used for babies and allowed to dry on their own. So when you are in a hurry, postpone washing your hair.

You should apply this washing method until approximately 2 weeks after the hair transplant operation.

What kind of shampoo should be used after hair transplantation?

Sleep properly after the hair transplant

In addition to postoperative hair washing, this also includes the correct position when sleeping.

Sleep on your back for the first few nights after the procedure and it is best to use a special neck pillow. This prevents contact with the pillow and prevents the fresh grafts from sticking to the pillow and being torn out. Slight bleeding is normal for the first few days after the operation and you shouldn’t be concerned. With a mat, you avoid soiling the pillow.
