Should I blow dry my hair before FUT hair transplant to make it easier for the team to work on my hair?

Question

Should I blow dry my hair before a hair transplant? I have thick coarse hair (I’m African American) and I’m getting an FUT hair transplant. Should I blow dry my hair before the procedure? This would make it easy for the team to comb and work with my hair or is it advisable to keep hair natural before hair transplant?

Hello, This is Arzu from Dr. Caner Kaçmaz Clinic. There is no need to straighten your hair before the Fut hair transplantation. The experts in the hair transplantation team will perform the necessary cutting and washing according to the doctor's recommendation.

Hello I'm Dr. Wipawan Vathananai, a co-worker of Dr. Kulakarn Amonpattana, from BHI Clinic, Bangkok, Thailand. I would recommend you to leave the hair as natural as it is. It is also important for the team to see the real textures and characteristics of your hair before performing the hair transplantation.

There is no need to blow dry your hair prior to the procedure. Doing so, however, would not make it any more difficult, nor will it make it significantly easier. The team will shave a small strip (roughly 2cm in width) of hair from the donor site prior to obtaining the donor tissue needed for the FUT procedure and as such, blow drying your hair will have little to no impact.
