Answer: Cut first 6 months you are allowed to have your hair cut by scissors or trimmer for the donor area. After 6 months you will be fıne to use the trimmer for the transplanted area as well. Keep your doctor updated with your pictures.

Answer: When to cut the hair post-transplant Once all the scabs and crusts are gone (usually around day 10-14 post-transplant), the likelihood of damaging the transplanted hair follicles is extremely small. I recommend that patients wait until at least two weeks post-transplant to get a haircut, at which point they can proceed carefully with a normal haircut if all the scabs and crusts are gone. At 3 weeks post-transplant, there is very little risk to the grafts and patients can resume all normal hair cutting/trimming routines.

Answer: When can you shave after a transplant? Shaving is not going to hurt your transplant. Cutting the hair will not damage it either. Following a transplant, the grafts become seated after 6 days. By the 7th day a study done by Bob Bernstein, MD in New York showed that you cannot remove the graft. Thus, but the 7th day you should be able to do almost anything that does not traumatize the follicles below the surface of the skin. This includes excessive sun exposure. Cutting hair affects only the surface of the hair and will not damage the follicle. You can cut the hair now if you like. After 6 months it is typical to see only 60% growth. You still have more to go so you may not want to shave the area only because length helps to provide coverage. However, shaving at 6 months should not be any problem at all.
