How long after a small FUE is OK for a hair "relaxing" or Brazilian blow-dry?

Mervyn22Aug 31, 2017
I had a 1000 grafts on a widows peak 7 weeks ago. I think it went OK. I have an occasional relaxing treatment to straighten hair. And was thinking of trying a Brazilian blow-dry which uses chemicals and heat. How long after FUE is safe? I have seen "6 weeks before you colour" here. But wanted to check if anyone had any thoughts about the above? I don't want to risk damaging the grafts but would like a treatment. Thanks in advance.

Aspirin after surgery may cause bleeding and bruising.  It is best to contact your doctor for a follow up examination.

Losing one or two grafts after a 2000 graft surgery is reasonable statistically.  If you are still concerned it is best to contact your doctor.Raw honey is not a normal treatment after a hair transplant.

You can start using concealers few days after surgery. If you are concerned about its use, it is best to ask your surgeon.
