When can I get a haircut after FUE? (Photos)

Question

It's been over 30 days since having the procedure. Would use clippers damage the recipient area or the donor area?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.   After a month you can get a hair cut.

David Deutsch, MD · Answer

Typically our patients go for their first haircut 2-3 weeks following the procedure.You should be good to go but check with your surgeon first.

Sahar Nadimi, MD · Answer

I generally tell my FUE patients that they may cut their hair once the donor area scabs have all healed. This is usually around 7 days after surgery. At this point, it should be fine to cut your hair because it is 30 days after your surgery. I recommend following up with you transplant surgeon if you have any question or concerns. Good luck!

Sean Behnam, MD · Answer

After a month it should be fine to get whatever sort of haircut you want. If in doubt it's always a good idea to double check with your doctor, just in case.

At 1 month, you are fine to get your hair cut in any way you wish. You can shave, dye, blow dry, whatever you like. After 2 weeks the grafts are pretty firmly planted and can be treated just like your regular hair.

Hair cut is fine after 2 weeks following an FUE provided that all of the crusts are off of your head
