Chemical straightener

[slister142]

Is it safe to use a chemical straightener on my hair 6 weeks post op. Transplant went well, healed fast and all the stubs fell out. My hair gets really frizzy and the only thing that calms it down is the straightener. Don't in anyway want to affect the grafts, I was told that after healing and about 3 weeks there was nothing I could do to hurt them , please advise

slister,

 

Chemically treating your hair in generally isn't good for it however, some treatments are less harmful than others. Regarding your hair transplant, your scalp should be well enough healed and transplanted follicles secure that you can do anything you'd like to your natural hair without worrying about affecting your hair transplant. However, it's always a good idea to double check with your hair restoration physician.

 

Best wishes,
