Combing and Rubbing Hair after Hair Transplant
1. When can my son start handling his hair after his hair transplant without any caution whatsoever regarding physically touching or handling his hair, for example, with a full shower head, and rubbing his hair dry with a towel.
2. He uses his comb just a little right now. For example, he will comb his hair forward in anticipation for going to school. Once in a while the comb hits his scalp, albeit pretty gently. Is that O.K., or is it bad?
Thank you greatly. All my best,
A:
Any time after the first four days from the day of a hair transplant surgery, patient can go back to his or her regular routine for washing and handling of their hair.
At this point (5 days after hair transplant), there is no limitation in daily hair care except in regards to sun exposure. I don’t recommend excess sun exposure for 6 months after hair transplant to the newly transplanted area. It should not be a problem for your son since he is combing his hair forward and covering the transplanted area.
