Can I start wearing durag to bed at night 9 days post-op?

Question

I had a hair transplant 9 days ago. I want to start wearing my durage to bed at night. Most say 9 days in, hair is achored and should not cause a problem. I don’t k ow if that’s accurate. Can you provide insight?

The suggested time to wear durags, hijabs etc is 10 days, it will be better to wait ten days.

Hello, thank you for your question. It takes roughly between 10-14 days for scabs to fall off. Once they are all gone you are free to wear any hat/durags/hijabs, except the helmets. During post op consultation, clinic representative/surgeon was supposed to inform you.

I would wait until all of the crusts haven been off for at least one week before wearing a durag in bed at night
