Can I wear a hat 6 days post FUE?

jamesmac86
I have heard so much conflicting advice on wearing a hat post FUE. I had my procedure done 6 days ago and I have to go back to work tomorrow. My job requires me to wear a hard hat that isn't like your conventional one, it is more like a reinforced sports cap. Am I safe to wear this 7 days after a FUE? No scabs have fallen off the implant area of that plays a factor in hair follicle recovery.
