Once you decide to go ahead with the hair transfer surgical process, it is likely that you are already thinking about your post-operative plans. You will be eagerly awaiting the response of your friends and family when they see you after the operation for hair grafting is over. Subsequently this you should take a respite after the surgical process just to make sure that your hair transplant will be productive.

It is dififcult for your hair transfer to heal if you do not keep the newly operated-on skin out of the sunshine because the skin becomes extremely tender due to surgical process. If you look after the skin on your scalp after getting a scalp hair transplant, you will help the wounds heal much faster. Get a hat, any hat, so long as it isn’t so tight on your head that it rubs your graftings. This is something you will not have to deal with for very long and after a few weeks, you will be able to replace the cap with some sunscreen all the same, it will need to have at least thirty of SPF.

Getting the proper blood flow into the hair transplant sites makes a huge difference in the speed of healing. You should sleep on rests so that you head is high and there is adequate blood flow during the night. You can continue to use your usual pillow, or you can buy a wedge-shaped pillow that is designed specifically for this purpose. Even so, you should try to get plenty of rest after the hair transplant surgical procedure to avoid high blood flow. During the first several weeks it is a bad idea to participate in any physically challenging events since the blood flow will be too heavy and bleeding might come from your transplant area.

It is essential for you to wash your hair the same way your doctor tells you to following your hair transplant surgical operation and you will be handed a special shampoo and be told how to and when to use it for your hair. You need to be gentle when you wash your hair but be thorough and in the beginning you might end up rinsing your hair numerous times daily but be certain you don’t scratch or rub the area where the hair transplant is because you might bother it.

Approximately a week following your procedure, your hair transplant physician will ask you to return for an examination of your grafts. You need to make sure that you keep your appointment and ask any questions about your care for your hair during that time. You should find out from your doctor when you can use the comb on your new hair because it may surprise you how fast you can use one. Then, your doctor will schedule other check-ups, which you should also go to. It only makes sense that you want to take care of your (probably expensive) new hair. Before long, you’ll be styling your hair just as you did before, without a second thought.
