Hello,
I've had a FUE transplant in my front/top area 2.5 months ago.
so far I've been very careful,and following all post op instructions.
I always wear a hat outside.
I was told sun light is very bad for scalp after HT and can result in permanent skin discoloration and even worse,can damage newly transplanted grafts.
my post op instruction says avoid sun light for 6 months post HT.
now I live in UK and normally we don't have much sun shine at all but this time a year it can get sunny,I don't plan on getting sun bath etc,but I find it very difficult to wear a hat for 6 months,especially since I have existing hair and they can be styled with Toppik..it's already been 2.5 months that I'm wearing a hat outside.
how do people cope with this issue?
my main question is,if I use Toppik or similar fibre based concealers , do they block the sunlight as well so I can go out without wearing hat?
