After a hair transplant, it’s important to follow your surgeon’s instructions for post-operative care. You should avoid brushing or combing your newly transplanted hair for a certain period, typically within the first week or two after the procedure. This is to prevent any damage or disruption to the newly implanted hair follicles and to allow them to heal and take root.
After the initial healing period, which may vary depending on the specific transplant technique used and your surgeon’s recommendations, you can gradually reintroduce hair care practices like brushing. To prevent undue stress on the transplanted hair, it’s necessary to be gentle and use a brush with soft bristles.
Consult with your hair transplant surgeon or medical professional for specific guidelines on when it’s safe to resume brushing and how to care for your newly transplanted hair to ensure the best possible results. They will provide you with personalized instructions based on your individual case and the type of hair transplant procedure you underwent.
