What is the best solution to drying hair after a FUE hair transplant?

FK8Oct 25, 2018
Hello, I am 2 weeks after FUE hair transplantation and I would like to ask how should I dry my hair after shower? What is the best way? I would like to mention I have still some scabs and pieces of skin on recipient area. In the first two weeks I have let hair dry naturally without any towel or hairdryer. I would like to ask what should I do next? Should I dry hair after shower still naturally or gently with towel or some paper tissue or with hairdryer? Thank you very much for your answers.

It is best to contact your surgeon for post surgery issues and care since all doctors have slightly different instructions.

The sunburn will not kill your grafts. The sunburn is a cosmetic issue as it will cause your skin to appear red and flaky.

Personalized medical treatment advice on the Internet without a good history and examination is inaccurate and may lead to confusion and misinformation.Follow up again with your surgeon or local physician.

Photos cannot determine if you would be a good candidate for surgery.  You need an examination and the doctor needs to understand your goals and expectations. You need to have good communication with your doctor to understand what your end result will look like.

This appears to be shedding. If you are still concerned, it is best to contact your surgeon for all post-surgery issues.
