Can walking in sun after 11 days damage implanted grafts?

Xabier
Hello!! Today I walked in the sun and it was 18 degrees, after 11 days post hair transplant, from 15:10 or 15:30 to 16:30, so during one hour or one hour and twenty minutes. I have long hair too, because the grafts are implanted inside in three areas with less density. So my question is, does that walk in the sun damage the implanted grafts?
