Can wearing a hat everyday 1 month after a hair transplant affect future growth?

adj123
After about 1 month after my FUE hair transplant procedure (1000 grafts to hairline) I started wearing hats, both snap back and fitted, for about 8 hours everyday. The hats I wear are not insanely tight, but not loose either. Will this affect future growth?
