March 10, 2018
Asked By:seniormido in Philipines

I am 3 weeks after FUE and everytime i touch my head with the tips of my fingers during the wash or to apply the monoxidil and even if i moved the palm of my hand gently over the recepient area i see hairs on my hand, I know shedding is normal at this stage but can touching my head affect the grafts at this stage ? Should i stop touching the new hairs ?
