2 month after hair transplant: hair concealer fibers (Both Caboki and another brand) get stuck to my skin and it is very hard to clean them after shower. I do this (scratch my scalp with a plastic hair brush in the shower) gently 2-3 times a week.

I am worried that scratching may damage the transplanted grafts.
