Damage to grafts when washing first week post-op HT. Advice?

March 9, 2018
Asked By:Stockholmdude in Stockholm, 26

Had HT 4 days ago,the clinic said to wash my hair everyday for 10 days. Today is the 4th day and scabs aren't falling. I think its because i don't wash properly,i am very scared if i pour lot of water on my head i might dislocate grafts. i gently pour water from a cup on my head and tap gently.some times lotion is still on my head after drying but i'm scared if i wash harshly i will damage grafts. Please advise, so i can remove scabs by the 10 day period without causing damage to my hair. Thanks
