Extreme dust wind for 4 hours after 6 months of FUE surgery. Is it normal?

James Shepherd
I was exposed to outdoor dust wind condition uncovered for around four hours by night and my hair smelled all dust, knowing that I am 6 months after FUE surgery. Is it normal? I washed my hair after I got home but I am afraid dust would have harmed my transplanted hair by any means. Will it affect my follicles or growth by any way? Please advise
