Things To Avoid Or Be Cautious With After Your Hair Transplant
Strenuous Activity And Exercise
After your hair transplant, your surgeon would most likely advise you to avoid strenuous activity for a period of time. At Nova Medical Hair Transplant NJ, we suggest avoiding certain activities for two weeks to aid in the healing process. For example, we advocate bending down solely using your knees, not your waist. We don’t want you to do anything that causes blood to rush to your brain for a prolonged length of time. We also recommend that you avoid any exertion that causes excessive perspiration. If you use certain workouts as part of your regular regimen, it’s essential to consult your healthcare professional about them.
Hair Washing With Shampoo
Many patients are concerned about how they will wash their hair. When can you wash your hair without jeopardizing your recently transplanted grafts? The truth is that it is not as dangerous as you may believe. You can wash your hair safely after 48 hours, but if you want to give it another day, that’s acceptable as well. We suggest placing a little drop of shampoo in a cup rather than straight on your head. Then you fill the cup halfway with water to form a frothy mixture to pour over your head, then rinse with the remaining water in the cup. This guarantees that your hair grafts are treated gently while also ensuring that you don’t have to face the world with greasy hair. For the first week, avoid allowing the shower head’s spray to come into close contact with your head. After that, you may continue to care for your hair as usual.
Wearing Hats
It’s understandable if you want to hide your freshly transplanted scalp behind a hat before venturing out into the world. However, we urge that you wait at least three days before doing so. After 3 days, you may wear a loose-fitting hat, and after 5 days, you can wear a more snug-fitting hat, such as a baseball cap. Basically, you are free to wear anything you want on your head after 5 days. After 5 days post-op, there is nothing you can do to induce your grafts to fall out. Please be aware that some of your hair may fall out following your transplant, anytime from a few weeks to a few months; this is a fully natural part of the hair development cycle. It doesn’t necessarily imply that you’ve lost your fresh grafts. They’ve merely lost their hairs as does your healthy hair on a regular basis.
Take Care Of Your Itching Scalp
It’s common for your scalp to swell following the treatment, which usually happens between days 3 and 4. We suggest sleeping in a chair instead of your bed for the first seven days to avoid swelling. This is only a precaution; you may never experience any swelling if you’re lucky. Ice may also be applied slightly above the brows, but not directly on the transplanted area. If your scalp itches, try not to touch it for the first several days. You want to make sure the scabs don’t get in the way of the healing process. Itching may be relieved by rubbing a little amount of conditioner into the hair. For at least two weeks, avoid exposing your scalp to direct sunlight. As previously said, you may wear a cap after 3-5 days, depending on how tight it is. It’s also a good idea to take a vacation during your hair transplant recuperation, as long as you remain out of the sun– this lets you recover while also relaxing.
Avoid Smoking, Hair Dye, And Alcohol
While dying your hair before a transplant is OK, you should avoid it for at least four weeks thereafter. The strong chemicals may harm the still-fragile hair grafts as they begin to take root. You’re unlikely to do so anyhow, given that your transplanted region would have been shaved to prepare for the procedure. You should also stop from smoking for the same period of time — four weeks. We recommend quitting smoking completely, but if you can’t, make sure you don’t harm your blood flow or hair development by smoking too much. It’s a bit simpler with alcohol, but we suggest waiting 5 days before consuming it since it may also affect your head’s blood supply.
