Wearing tight head bands for long time and repetitive touching of recipient area damage the hair follicles.

__Horizon__
It has been 2 months since my hair transplant (fue). I wear really tight head band and touch my recipient area few times a day. Does this, by any means, causes degradation in hair growth? Some of the hairs has also not fallen off from the recipient area. Is this okay?
