It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.  In general you can resume normal activity and cut your hair when the area has healed.  It may take one to two weeks.

tartar11,I would recommend waiting two weeks before a hair cut. The wearing of a helmet can start after one week.

David Deutsch, MD · Answer

We generally tell our patients to wait 10-14 days before wearing a helmet and 2-3 weeks before a haircut.Please check with your surgeon for post op instructions.

You may start to gym, heavy exercises and swimming 2 weeks after the FUE operation. You can ride the motorcycle and wear the helmet. Hair clipper doesn't give any harm to your donor area after 2 weeks of operation , but wait 6 weeeks for use it on recipient area .

Sean Behnam, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

Hair clippers and a helmet are both fine once the area is done healing and all scabs/crusts have finished falling off- so I'd recommend waiting two weeks after your transplant. Be sure to check with your doctor in case there is something specific to your case that would change that timeline for you.

You should wait until the recipient area is free of crusts and the donor area is healed. This is usually about 1-2 weeks. The helmet should not be abrasive on any area of the recipient sites
