Answer: Scabs and shock loss after hair transplant First of all, there is a possibility - due to operation stress - that a number of hair will fall out in the post-operation phase. This generally temporary occurrence is known as "shock loss", and may last just a few weeks or possibly months. In certain cases, donor hair and neighbouring hair may fall out after a hair transplant (for instance when dense packing has been performed). This should not worry patients, as the hair generally regrows once the shock loss period has ended. Moreover, the cell responsible for regrowth remains in the scalp even though the grafted hair falls. Second of all, scabs usually appear after a hair transplant, this is normal. You just need to make sure that both the recipient and the donor areas are as clean as possible during the postoperative period so that regrowth can be optimal. So this is very important to scrub the scabs during the shampoo. Pay attention to use your fingertips, not your nails. You can also apply sweet almond oil in order to soften the scabs.

Answer: Scabs after procedure You can take the following steps:1. Apply an organic shampoo, massage into the scalp. Apply an organic conditioner ON TOP of the shampoo and massage that as well. Allow the solution to sit on the scalp for 10 minutes while in the shower and then begin rinsing off the solution with light to moderate pressure. Scabs will come off, and some of your own hairs will also fall out. This is normal and happens with most hair transplant procedures. The grafts should begin growing again around the 3rd month after your procedure and the results then depend on the number of grafts you had and how well your procedure was carried out.
