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

ChrisJonessJan 4, 2016
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 your hair transplant surgery results were uneven, see your doctor for a recheck. It can take up to 12 months to see final results.
