Asked By:adnan1981 in Riyadh, SA

I just had a hair transplant (FUE) and it has been 22 days. My doctor asked me to wait for 25 days before i take a normal shower. I am still rinsing my hair with shampoo water and avoiding to touch my hair through out the day as much as possible. I have notice a bulb shape at the end of the transplanted hair which are shedding now. I m just concern if the hair with bulb means that the follicle is damaged. Please clarify if its normal or not. Thanks in advance
