After your procedure, it is generally recommended that you do not wash your hair for the first few days to allow the transplanted grafts to settle and heal. The specific instructions can vary depending on the surgeon’s recommendations.

Here are some general guidelines for washing your hair…

1. Initial Post-Transplant Period (first few days) –  During the immediate post-transplant period, it’s essential to follow your surgeon’s instructions. Do not wash your hair for the first 24-48 hours or until your surgeon gives you the green light. Please avoid getting your head wet to prevent any disruption to the newly implanted grafts.
2. Gentle Washing (3-7 days post-transplant) – After the first recovery period, you will be allowed to start gently washing your hair. This typically involves using a mild, non-medicated shampoo and being very gentle when handling your scalp. Your surgeon may provide specific instructions on how to do this.
3. Gradual Resumption of Normal Washing Routine (10-14 days post-transplant) –  After a week o two, you may gradually resume your regular hair -washing routine. It is important to maintain your gentleness and refrain from vigorously cleaning or massaging the transplanted area.
4. Avoid Harsh Shampoos and Styling Products –  You should use mild, hypoallergenic shampoo. Avoid any hair products that contain harsh chemicals or irritants.
5. Pat, Don’t Rub – When drying your hair, use a soft towel and pat it gently instead of rubbing vigorously. Excessive rubbing or friction can potentially damage the grafts.
6. Consult with Your Surgeon – Always follow the specific post-operative care instructions provided by your surgeon. They may have customized recommendations based on your specific case and the technique used during your hair transplant.

Keep in mind that it’s essential to follow your surgeon’s advice closely to ensure the best possible outcome and prevent any complications or damage to the transplanted hair follicles. The exact post-operative care guidelines can vary from one clinic to another and may depend on the type of transplant procedure you undergo, so be sure to discuss this thoroughly with your surgeon before and after the procedure
