When can I wear a turban regularly and safely after my FUE treatment?

March 29, 2017
Asked By:powertothepeople in Wolverhampton, Q3

I had my FUE surgery done 3 weeks ago with 2800 grafts on the front hairline (receding), sides (cause traction alopecia I believe from wearing a turban) and graft on the crown area (thinning maybe pattern baldness). I am a Sikh male a wear turban a for at least 8 hours a day. I have not worn one up to now from the surgery date for the grafts to heal. My question is when can I return to my old schedule of turban wearing? Also what are the risks etc, any other guidance? I am 36. Thanks in advance
