Can wearing a slightly lose bandana or a beanie hamper the growth of transplanted hair?

Arihant JainApr 14, 2016
It's been 36 days since I got a hair transplant. I was a regular gym goer but of course, didn't go to gym since a month now as instructed not to. I want to ask if wearing a slightly lose bandana or beanie; roughly for 2 hours in a day would hamper the transplanted hair. I got a transplant on both sides or my head. Before the transplant my doctor asked me not to wear as it puts lot of stress on the existing hair. Thank you so much.

I wrote to you yesterday privately about this. If you used it after 5 days when the wounds were sealed, the peroxide should have no impact on the hairs in the graft.

I do not recommend using peroxide on healing tissue after having a hair transplant.  It is unlikely that you have caused damage.

Bending your head does not cause grafts to pop out. If this is an issue you would be the first.  Follow up with your doctor for a recheck.
