Washing Hair After Transplant?

[racerx]

Hey guys, it's been about 3 weeks since I have had my procedure done where hair was planted at the front of my head to cover up my receding hairline's bald spots. Anyway, about 2 days ago.. whenever I shampoo my hair, I noticed that maybe one or two of the transplanted hairs would fall out and I would see them in my hand after washing. I try to be gentle still on the area even the the doctor as well as other documentations said I could wash as normal. Should I be worried or is that just part of the regular shedding process?

 

Thanks!

It is normal to see the transplanted hairs fall out around this time. They usually fall out 8 days after surgery to about 3 weeks after, so do not worry. Most or all of them should be falling out soon and they will reappear in about 3-4 months when the normal growth cycle begins.

Alright sounds good. I just wanted to make sure I wasnt damaging the newly planted hairs.

The majority of the transplanted hairs should occur within the first 4 weeks after the procedure. What you experiencing is within the normal range.
