How long after a hair-implant can I engage in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training?

August 18, 2015
Asked By:Peter Carter in San Francisco, CA

I'm about to get a hair implant and the doctor explained the process very well and said I should be able to go back to full physical activity 12 days after the procedure. He didn't think it should be any trouble since the sport doesn't involve hair-pulling but does cause tension on the follicles in certain movements. Does anybody have experience with this sport and hair-implants and can offer advice?
