Can I use a hair thickener spray after 2 weeks after FUE Hair Transplant? The grafts should be fixed after 10 days I suggest.

usually the healing process is about ten days. After two weeks you can return to your normal routine including using hair fiber.

By 9 days the grafts are completely incorporated into the scalp,so yes you can safely use a thickening product now.

Hair Thickener After 2 Weeks

After two weeks using hair fibers/thickeners is generally considered fine to do. I'd check with your doctor first though, in case there are issues specific to your case that may alter that waiting period.

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.
