Things to note when washing your hair after hair transplantation How to wash your hair after hair transplantation

Hair transplantation is an innovative plastic surgery technique that is very popular nowadays. Many people go for hair transplantation in order to make their hair look thicker and more luxuriant. You must pay attention when washing your hair after hair transplantation.

1. Avoid scratching your scalp with your nails

Do not scratch your scalp with your fingernails after hair transplant surgery. This is because scratching the scalp will injure the scalp, and the survival state of hair follicles after hair transplantation is still unstable. If you scratch your scalp while washing your hair after hair transplantation, it will cause the death of hair follicles and affect the recovery of the wound. In severe cases, it may even affect the final effect of the hair transplantation.

Correct approach: During the rinsing process after hair transplantation, you should try to use your fingertips to gently rub the scalp until the blood clots are cleaned.

2. Rinse with warm water

On the fourth day after the hair transplant, those who have recovered well can basically wash their hair normally. It is best to use warm water when washing their hair. Using warm water to wash your hair is also to avoid the shampoo temperature being too high and causing irritation to the hair, which will affect the survival of the hair follicles after the hair transplant.

The correct way to do it: first pour the shampoo into the palm of your hand and rub it into rich foam, then lightly touch the surface of your scalp with your fingertips, and then use a shower head and running warm water to rinse.

3. Use mild and low-irritation shampoo

If you need to use shampoo after hair transplantation, it is best to use a mild and non-irritating shampoo. If the hair is not very dirty, it is best not to use shampoo, just rinse with warm water.

The correct way: Use baby shampoo to wash your hair, or you can use clean water.

When washing your hair for the first time, you should use a shower to rinse it gently, and never scratch your hair; when washing your hair later, you can use shampoo, and use warm water; gently rinse off the foam, but be sure to rinse it thoroughly; let your hair dry naturally, and never use a hair dryer to blow your hair; insist on washing your hair every day, mainly to clean the blood scabs in the hair transplant area, until all the blood scabs in the hair transplant area fall off, and be careful not to peel off the blood scabs with your hands. Three days after the hair transplant, try to avoid getting the transplanted part wet; four days after the hair transplant, you can try to wash your hair, try not to rub it with your hands when washing your hair, just rinse it with water, and never scratch the hair transplant area. Try to use warm water when washing your hair to avoid unnecessary impact on the hair transplant area, and finally the hair transplant effect; five days after the hair transplant, you can use shampoo to slowly clean the hair transplant area, and try to reduce external stimulation. Friends who have undergone hair transplantation should pay attention to the following after surgery: you can come to the hospital to clean the blood scabs for free one week after the operation. Avoid irritating foods and drinking alcohol one week after surgery. Stopping aspirin and vitamin E will help prevent bleeding. A few patients may experience mild edema on the third or fourth day after surgery. Don't worry, this is normal.

Generally, you can wash your hair on the fourth day after the hair transplant operation. This is because the hair follicles are still very fragile after the hair transplant. They are particularly sensitive to external stimuli. It takes about 3 days for the hair follicles to adapt to the new environment and establish a new blood circulation. If you don't do this, the hair follicles will be stimulated and die. In severe cases, it may even affect the effect of the hair transplant. You can wash your hair on the fourth day after the hair transplant operation, but this time is not absolute. You should decide whether to wash your hair based on the recovery of the wound and the doctor's advice. Because everyone's physique and the trauma suffered after the hair transplant are different, these factors directly lead to different recovery times after the hair transplant. According to the doctor's introduction, you have to wait until the wound is well healed before washing your hair. Therefore, the specific time to wash your hair after the hair transplant needs to be determined according to the doctor's instructions and advice.

After hair transplantation, beauty lovers generally experience intermittent hair loss for three months. From the fourth month, the hair will slowly grow again, the color of the transplanted hair will gradually deepen, and the overall hair will become thicker. The effect of hair transplantation will gradually be reflected over time. Generally speaking, the hair grown one year after hair transplantation has the best effect. This is because hair only starts to grow three months after hair transplantation, and the hair enters the resting and growth phases and slowly shows the best effect. For example, it is just like a person's growth from childhood to adulthood. Generally speaking, hair can be seen to be significantly improved 10 months after hair transplantation, and reaches the best growth state after one year.
