How do I get dried blood out of my hair? I had an endoscopic brow lift 2 days ago. (Photo)

Question

Apparently the blood was allowed to just drain down into my very thick, long hair. I’m taking the mummy wrap off tomorrow and will be allowed to wash my hair - but not blow dry. Any solutions? I’m sure it will take a few washes.

Hi there, thanks for your question and photos! I agree with the other reviewers and recommend starting off with a 50/50 solution of warm water and hydrogen peroxide to help break up some of the thicker clots of blood  and conditioner to remove/comb out the hair.  Hope this helps!

Ross A. Clevens, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. There is helpful advice by the other reviewers, but you should be sure to follow the recovery instructions that are provided specifically by your board certified facial plastic surgeon.
Best wishes,

You could rinse your hair with half strength hydrogen peroxide.  That normally works pretty well to get rid of dried blood in the hair after surgery.

John J. Martin, Jr., MD · Answer

conditioner is actually very helpful to get the blood out- works better than the shampoo.  So do that first and then shampoo.

Nizar Taki, MD · Answer

As mentioned below, hydrogen peroxide diluted to 50% strength in water will help loosen and remove the dry blood. After this, baby shampoo will also help. Avoid submerging or scrubbing directly on the incision sites.
