When can I shave my head after an FUE hair transplant? (Photo)

March 20, 2016
Asked By:michael radcliffe in Los Angeles, CA

I had a FUE hair transplant done 6 months ago and am not entirely pleased with the results so I plan on shaving my head but am worried about upsetting the donor area. Do i risk aggrevating the scars if I shave it now? If so how long should i wait? Also will the scars fade with time? Do they stay pale even if I get sunshine on my head?
