Can I wear a helmet after 3 weeks after a hair transplant?

Wearing a helmet 3 weeks after surgery should be no problem but always check with your doctor.  Your doctor knows the specifics of your surgery and can give you a better answer.  It's always a good idea to keep your doctor in the loop.

Hi Oceanprakash,You should wait at least 1 month before wearing an helmet to don't damage the grafts. 

Yes, you can resume all normal activity and product after two weeks. The only exception to this is hair color in which we recommend waiting 6 weeks.

Wearing a helmet should be fine but check with your surgeon for specific advice.  If you had FUT ( strip procedure) your surgeon may advise caution with anything rubbing on the scar. In general, the first 10-14 days post op are the most critical as these are the times of most intensive healing. 

Grafts are usually well healed two weeks after hair transplant. At this time, normal activity may generally be resumed but check with your surgeon for specific concerns.

Yes, after 3 weeks it usually is not an issue. The one concern may be the scar if you use FUT, but for FUE procedures it is not an issue. 

After 3 weeks you should be fine to wear a helmet, as well as use whatever products you like on the area that was grafted.  Check with the surgeon that performed the procedure to see if they may advise anything different for your particular case but for our patients, we advise them that they can resume their normal activities at this point. Good luck!

Yes, provided that the helmet does not rub on the recipient grafts or the donor area hair. Rubbing causes problems. 

The first couple of weeks you need to be careful with the grafts, but after that the follicle will settle in and wearing a helmet should not have any damaging effects of implanted hairs.
