Can I use "colored hair thickener" after FUE hair transplant? I'm 5 weeks post OP.

Question

I'm 5 weeks post OP after my fue hair transplant. I wonder if it's safe to use "colored hair spray" after the operation. My doctor said that I would not effect the regrowth if I wash the "spots" gently after I've use the product. I want some more opinions before I start using it therefore the question. Maybe someone here has some experience about it.

If you have concerns of post operative care, always ask your doctor.  After a month you can probably use any products for your hair.

Alan S. Feller, DO · Answer

Just make sure your skin is not becoming irritated by the product. Irritated skin and fresh hair transplants do not go well together.

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

There are no issues using camouflaging sprays/ products at 5 weeks post transplant. All regular routines are a 'go'.

Michael Meshkin, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

You can return to your normal routine in four weeks after hair transplant, that includes using sprays to camouflage the transplanted areas.  However it is always a good idea to check with your doctor first.

Jonathan Ballon, MD (in memoriam) · Answer

Many people use various fibers, powders, sprays, and make-up products to thicken the hair and/or camouflage the scalp after a hair transplant. These products are generally safe to use after the first 5-7 days.
