Hello, our company will have an Ice hockey tournament, which is just for fun. No hits etc. just business partners playing together for fun. My question is if 3 weeks after FUE hair transplantation are enough? I've read a lot that 2 weeks are enough, but also 1 month. I am a bit confused. I don't understand why is it not allowed? My scabs are gone. Is sweat the problem, elevated heart rate, or a helmet? I would love to go, but if it can harm my hair, I will not. Thanks! Tom
