Asked By:imperator in Gurgaon, 10

Today being the fourth day, I have shampooed my transplanted hair as directed. I see this white sludge sort of build up around the transplanted area ( photo attached). Also the sludge has trickled down to the non transplanted hair after rinsing. Is this normal or have I not washed properly? Help please!
