How long after FUE transplant can I shave my head with a razor?

January 7, 2017
Asked By:Munrose in Australia, AU

I just had FUE and I would like to shave my head (with a razor) as soon as it is safe to do so. I started shaving regularly early on in my hair loss, so people think I shave out of personal preference not MPB as I went from almost a full head of hair to nothing. I'd prefer to keep that illusion and surprise them with a full head again in 6 months or so. Also will the transplanted hairs that fall in a few weeks appear as stubble shadow or nothing when they're in their dormant phase? Thanks!
