Pulled/tugged on graft hairs 14 days post FUT?

June 1, 2016
Asked By:Tumbleweed 9 in Australia, AU

I had a FUT procedure done 2000 grafts and I am day 14. I tugged on the grafts last night and they seemed to come out easily without any resistance during the shower. So since its day 14 and it was instructed that I can scrub away any remaining grafts as the follicle is already implanted, I was bold enough to scrub away all the grafts. I am a bit worried whether I did this too early or if should have done this at all. Kindly shed some light.
