Can wigs be worn after a FUE/FUT hair transplant?

Asked By:onyx54 in Indianapolis, IN

Because it is difficult for women to style hair after a hair transplant, and weaves may not be an option, is it safe for women to wear wigs 1-3 months hair transplant post op? Of course this is with the understanding that a non abrasive protective covering (i.e. satin bonnet, silk scarf) will be worn under the wig, serving as a protective barrier between the wig and natural hair.
