I will keep this short I had my FUE transplant on the 16th of jan I went in the day after for the follow up by the doctor today I washed my hair for the first time, applied lotion for 35-40 mins than applied shampoo mixed with water in a bottle. To ease the drying I gently patted my hair with a towel is this the right process as I've read mixed opinions. I'm just worried I don't knock the grafts out! Thank you

Answer: Washing Hair After HT Procedure Washing your scalp after an FUE hair transplant should not affect your grafts. As long as you are not irritating your skin, avoiding harsh water pressure and applying a mild shampoo approved by your doctor, your implanted grafts should be just fine. Following surgery, it usually takes about 7-10 days for the surgical wounds to close. Be sure to continue following your doctor's hair transplant after care instructions. Also, here is an article about timeframes and what to expect after surgery.

Answer: Washing hair after FUE transplant It seems ok in my opinion how you handled your washing post op. If you didn't do anything they would be fine. So shampooing/approved lotions can only be a benefit.
