I would think that when the scabs are gone, you'd be good to go.

As long as the moon shall rise

As long as the rivers flow

As long as the sun shall shine

And the grass will grow

Let me listen, I will learn to speak

The old language

Yes, I yearn to bathe in blue skies

And fall apart from the world of machines

Regain my feet and my pounding heart

I would wait a good 2 maybe even 3 weeks. Why? Simply because you just spent thousands of dollars on this!!!!! I have heard of guys washing their hair in the sink for 3 months, and won't hit their scalp with more than lukewarm water out of cup. Listen, the grafts should be seated after a week, but why chance it? Also, give the newly transplanted fella's a chance to breathe icon_biggrin.gif I am sure it is ok after a couple of weeks, but why take the chance?

Go Cubs!

You're talking about cutting your native hair after HT, right? Because the grafted hair will eventually fall out anyway.

 

I'm now 6 days after HT and I cut my sides and back to match the "burr" on top. I was VERY, VERY careful not to run into the grafted hair while doing so. Additionally, I was mindful not to hold the clippers against my head because of what the vibration might do to the grafts. I think after they are seated, a week or so as B spot said, it would be safe but wanted to error on the side of caution.
