Hello,
Dry scalp is fairly common after hair transplantation.  Lots of solutions here including use of conditioner, antibiotic ointment, vaseline.  A great first step is to contact your hair transplant surgeon and see what solution works best for you.  
Best,

If you have dandruff, you can try using ant-dandruff shampoo.  It would not be an issue after surgery especially after 6 weeks.

You may start to use anti dundruff shampoo 2 weeks after the FUE operation and  can start to your normal life . You may wash your head  just like before operation how often and which shampoo you use.

There is no impact of a dandruff shampoo on hair transplants. Many people use them. Shampoos like Head and Shoulders works well
