Asked By:albaajeti in New York, NY

Hi, I had a hair transplant for about a year ago. So far im not very pleased with the results because my areas are not full yet. Im waiting for about half a year more to see my results. Ive been wearing hats and been told that its not bad for hair to wear hat, BUT recently I wanted to start working out to the gym, and i have to wear a hat there. Is it bad for hair, to start working out (with a hat)? Hats are snapbacks and not very tight. Sorry if my english is not good. Regards.
