I am 5 weeks postOP FUE hair transplant. My hair wash routine consists of soaking a cloth in shampoo water and squeezing it over my head letting the water gently run down. My clinic said that it is now safe to shower normally/gently rub the transplant site to remove the dead skin. However, the moment I touch the follicles they fall out which I know is expected; 5-10% have fallen already. Is it truly safe to do this and should I expect/want ALL follicles to fall out? Or stick with my routine?
Answer: When is it safe to shower normally and touch/gently rub transplanted hair follicles post hair transplant? Hi,

Answer: Washing hair five weeks after hair transplant By 5 weeks it is extremely unlikely that hair follicles are falling out when you wash your hair. Having the hairs and surrounding crusts fall out is normal and expected. Go ahead and wash your hair per your clinic's instructions

Answer: When is it safe to rub your head after hair transplant? For the first 10 days, you should be cautious with your scalp. However, after this time, the follicles have set. The hairs that will fall out will do so whether you clean your head or not. However, by keeping the scalp clean, you will allow for more healthy healing to occur.
