It is ok to rub the scraps on the 11th day after hair transplant?

n.hung2452
Hi! I had a hair transplant 11 days ago. Today i went to my doctor place to have suture removal. After that, a nurse helped me to wash my head, but she rubbed my head to make all the remain scraps fall out. I asked her it is ok to wash my head like this now. She said yes because the transplanted hair is good after 10 days. So do not worry, but I am not sure if it is ok to rub my head on the 11th day or not. Thank you!
