I've had the surgery about a year ago and a month post up surgery I started to wear hats to school and work, beanies, snapbacks, they weren't tight, i wore them loose or how to say not tight. So far im not very pleased with the results and i've been thinking was it because of the hats or missing any vitamins or something. P.s. I had FUE method.

Answer: When can I wear a hat? After hair transplantation, most patients can wear a hat somewhat safely 10 days. This is because the hair grafts have taken root. Typically, I have patients wear a hat one month after surgery, especially loose fitting ones. Physical contact of the grafts within a week can disrupt their growth. Best Dr. Anil Shah

Answer: Wearing a hat after hair trasnplant Hello, Thank you for your question. Loose hats do not have any bad effect to hair transplanted area on the other hand they help to protect the area. I usually recommend my patients to wear a loose hat (fisher hat) immediately after the operation. Especially in the first week, protecting transplanted area against the sun and other external factors is very important. You could use hard hat or motorcycle helmets after first month.

Answer: Wearing a hat post-transplant Wearing a hat does not affect hair loss or the long-term viability of transplanted hair. Hats should only be very carefully worn in the first week or two post-transplant in order to avoid traumatizing or disrupting the newly transplanted grafts, but do not affect the long-term hair transplant result.
