I don't use a lot of wax but I do use it every day for work .. A friend of mine told me that if I do then I can cause damage to the transplanted hair root and they won't grow again . Please let me know ..as I consider another hair transplant in 6 months .i need to know . Thank you Doctor

It is always good idea to check with your doctor.  The Internet will give you conflicting information.  At 6 months, you can use whatever hair product you want.

Generally it is not advisable to use hair wax as this will harm the existing, not the transplanted hair. Topik can be used as this is washed out and does not affect the hair.

It is better for your to check with your primary hair transplant doctor.  Here is my recommendation to my patients.  I ask them to stay away from products they usually use for hair for the first week and after that they can go back to most of the products they were using before as long as they are not harmful to their hair.

I think that what you are calling hair wax is really a thickening agent for your hair, possibly a waxy one. The use of such waxes with or without Toppik is not a problem and should not damage your hair.

By now you are completely healed and can return to your normal routine that includes using Toppik.
