Asked By:Plucky6151 in Great Britain, GB

Hi, i am 5 days post op and only just stared pouring water from a jug over my had with baby shampoo. I have only had my hairline reconstructed so i am able to cover the transplanted area with remaining hair. I have tried my best not to ouch the transplanted area but have done a couple of times gently. Being paranoid but is this enough to damage grafts? Thanks.
