Can I get sun on the donor site a week post op?

rob19
7 days post Neograft. 900 grafts in frontal/temporal hairline. No bleeding, scabs are 50% gone in recipient,90% gone in donor, I have strictly followed post op protocol. Both sites have healed well. Tuesday I return to work and my new haircut has of course exposed more scalp. If I wore a hat, would it be ok to get sun on the back of my head? I feel it would help with concealing the donor site and make the new haircut look better in general. I'm fine waiting but I wanted to check my options.
