Can I use hair products (gel, Clay, fiber, etc..) 5 months Post FUE? (Photo)

Question

I’m going on 5 month post FUE. 1400 grafts. I’ve had GREAT early results. I’m in that “5%” who had growth immediately. My DR rec at time of FUE were no hair products (besides light hairspray) for 12 months. Am I ok using other products (fiber, clay, gel) since I’ve had such early growth? He also said scissor cut only in graft area for a year but I want to use my clippers and bring this down to 2 inches.

After two weeks post op you are able to use anything in your hair. The clinic that told you to wait a year was not correct.

It is best to follow your surgeon's post surgery recommendations and instructions since all doctors have slightly different instructions.

David Deutsch, MD · Answer

At this point the grafts are completely incorporated into the scalp and are the same as your untransplanted hair.Feel free to do whatever you want!

Justin Rome, MD · Answer

It is completly safe to resume all normal activities 5 months post surgery as everything should be completely healed by now.  Using gels, hair spray or fibers wont affect anything.  I would recommend that you get with you Doctor to discuss post op maintenance theropy to keep exsisting hair strong and from thinning.

William Woessner, MD · Answer

After 5 months post-op your grafts are solidly in place and growing normally. You are able to safely do anything to your hair and scalp that is safe for everyone else. Your transplant is now your new normal hair.
