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 you wear a hat after a hair transplant? You can wear a hat the day of the transplant if you like. I would not wear a beanie. I would use a regular hat that does not touch or move the grafts. A loose fitting bandana or scarf will work too. After the 6th day, you can generally wear any type of hat you like. There are two things you are trying to prevent after a transplant. One is to physically remove the graft. The second is to move the graft because the circulation to the graft is reestablishing. Once the graft is seated, you cannot remove it. Most recommend 10 days, but one study showed that after the 6th day, grafts cannot be removed. Good luck. One month after surgery should not have created any negative consequences.

Answer: No, normal use of a hat/cap does not affect a properly performed FUE We regularly encourage patients to wear a hat at the appropriate time after surgery. For patients having grafts to the hairline, top or crown of the scalp, a hat can be worn immediately after surgery.

Answer: Hair Transplant Dear albaajetiThanks for the question. Your grafts become safe during the 3-6th day after hair transplant. If you don´t harm or damage your scabs during that time, your grafts will be safe. You can start wearing a cap and put it on with caution already 1-2 days after hair transplant. I wish you all the best.

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.
