Regular Member Actonradar2012 Posted April 14, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted April 14, 2013 Ok so yesterday i used a cap for the first time for about four hours, it did touch my recipient area and i did not like that and it also rubbed against my sides of the grafts since they lowered my hairline, Dr. Keene said it was ok since my grafts are secure now and that i could not pull them out by this stage, but still ive been shedding like crazy so once i took my cap off i saw some few hairs and freaked out, and on one side (left= i felt less hair were the cap was sitting on since the lowere my sides too, dont plan on using a cap anymore, id rather look weird with my haircut. i am very paranoid, want everything to go as perfect as it can be.., but do you guys think it was just shedding at this stage or could i have pulled them out? Day 11 Pre Cap Usage Day 18 Post Cap Usage SCABS i hate the paranoia that goes on after a hair transplant , LOL Visit Here My Blog With my HT Photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Jotronic Posted April 14, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted April 14, 2013 Your hat cannot damage your grafts and the hairs placed are supposed to come out. You can potentially cause more damage by being TOO careful at this point so just go about your daily routine normally and wear a hat if you wish.

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted April 14, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted April 14, 2013 At days 11-18, your grafts are fully anchored and you cannot cause any permanent damage. From this point, you will start seeing a lot of shedding until the 2-2.5 month mark. After that, around month 3, you still start to see some slight new growth. No worries!

Senior Member diamondlight Posted April 15, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted April 15, 2013 Even around day 4 or 5 aren't the grafts anchored pretty well?
