I had my FUE done 23 days ago. Can I wear a glueless wig?

Sundus89Mar 1, 2016
My wig is glueless and has no clips in it. I only use an elastic band to secure it. My concern is that I would have to wear it for the whole day till bedtime, then I can remove it. My second concern is that the lace might be rubbing against the transplanted graft as it is at the hairline area and the donor area might be covered by the elastic band also. SO PLEASE INSTRUCT ME & HELP ME. I contacted my doctor and she said is not familiar with wigs and didn't really help at all. She is not in the USA

The scabs start to fall off after 5-10 days and sometimes the hair shaft falls off with it, however the follicles are under the skin and will start to grow in after a few months.

You need to wait until 10 to 12 months to a better evaluation.you had a good number of grafts transplanted, but also an advanced degree of baldness (norwood VI-VII). So you'll probably want another procedure. It seems that your response to medical treatment is very good for the evolution of your...
