Post-Hair Transplant Maintenance Tips

There is a critical window of opportunity for optimal hair growth in the weeks following a hair transplant treatment. If you take proper care of your new grafts, your hair transplant success rate increases significantly.

Your new grafts are delicate and require special care to grow properly. However, following Dr. Stong’s postoperative instructions and pumping yourself with a healthy dose of willpower and patience can make all the difference in the world. Besides that, you can do the following things:

• The medications included in your aftercare package should be used as directed.
• Even if your scalp itches, you should refrain from scratching until the treated area has completely healed. The itching you feel while healing is normal, and you should let the scabs fall off on their own.
• Rest for at least four days after the surgery before resuming everyday activities. In addition, refrain from any strenuous activity, like high-intensity exercise, for the first two weeks.
• For the next two weeks, take extra care to shield your scalp and hair from the sun and weather by staying indoors or wearing a hooded, loose-fitting garment when you go outside. Ideally, you want to continue to shield your head from the sun’s rays for three months and avoid wearing tight-fitting headwear.
• Also, avoid washing your hair the first four days following your procedure. After that, use baby shampoo for at least the first two weeks. You should also avoid swimming in the pool or ocean for the first three months.
• Postpone hair coloring until your transplanted hair is fully grown.

Besides these guidelines, healthy hair and a nutritious diet go hand in hand. It would be best to eat a well-balanced diet and avoid harmful substances like alcohol, junk food and smoking.
