Can you relax your hair after a transplant?

Question

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

If you have post surgical issues (or questions), please contact your doctor. If you want to "relax" your hair check with your doctor and your stylist.

Would not recommend any heat applied to your hair, transplanted or non transplanted.  Also would not recommend any harsh chemicals.  Use only organic products, and do not use any source of heat, including ironing, blow drying on hot setting, or sun bathing without protection frequently.That will damage your hair regardless of whether they are transplanted or non.

Anthony Bared, MD, FACS · Answer

Once the grafts and hair has fully regrown after a hair transplant it can be treated as your normal hair.  This being said, any damaging products to the hair will also damage the transplanted hair.

relaxing hair that is transplanted is something you should discuss with your doctor. Everyone is different and a one on one with your MD will help you make the right decision
