Are 3 weeks after FUE hair transplantation enough to play Ice Hockey?

October 30, 2015
Asked By:Tom_Berlin in Germany, DE

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
