Make sure you don't spray water on the grafts with force. Gently let it flow over the grafts for about another week. You're about a week out, so it is ok to shampoo your hair, but just be gentle for a little longer. I remember what a great feeling it was to shampoo and get that clean feeling.

thanks tkerr and gorpy for the response! i am looking very forward to see how it looks when it gets thicker and i will shower with caution also, im still using the cup to rinse and all that! yesterday i woke up at 5 am in the morning cuz i caught my self scratching a bit my hair, can it cause some damage? im 11 days now post op, i was not scratching really hard at all just a bit with the upper side of my nails,kinda like flicking my hair, i looked in the mirror and everything looked fine, im kinda paranoid about touching my hair, i dont even want to wear a cap cuz im afraid ill lose some grafts hahaha, at what time do you guys think its ok to wear a cap and not be afraid to loose the grafts? i know i could use it right after surgery, but was kinda scared to damage or pull some out. another question gorpy when i mist my grafts with the saline solution do i have to dry it or just let it sit their and dry on itself? thanx in advance

your grafts should be all set in place by day 3 or 4. With the new techniques and blades it doesn't take long to get set. You should be fine and you should be fine in wearing a hat being 11 days out. Myself I am going to wait till 5 days out to wear a hat

Just let the saline solution stay on. Don't dry it. I used to just keep a towel handy to wipe of what ran into my face.
