Is it safe to use anti dandruff shampoo after FUE hair transplant?

October 10, 2015
Asked By:ccassanova27 in Glasgow, GB

I had a hair transplant using the FUE method, almost 4 weeks ago. As of day 16, I started using my regular shampoo to wash my hair (every 2 days). The shampoo that I used is an anti-dandruff shampoo. I have just noticed on a few forums that surgeon's advise against this. My surgeon did not advise myself NOT to use an anti dandruff shampoo at all. Could have i caused damage to my folicles by washing my hair using the anti dandruff shampoo?..... and if so, what are they?
