Thanks for posting Dr Lindsey!

 

I can't believe they wore something like that.

 

It makes sense that the wool would have snagged some grafts.

 

That's too bad. A hair transplant is too expensive to lose grafts. Hopefully they didn't lose any.

I'd definitely recommend a large, loose-fitting hat/cap. That said, I didn't wear one for either of my procedures...after the first, I had temple-point work that a hat would have harmed, and after the second, I was going straight to my car, and then back home, so I didn't worry about it.

 

Good luck!

I tried on a few Stetson newsboy caps this summer. A few models are floppy enough to leave my scalp plenty of breathing room. I found the silk tweed models to be light and very comfortable.

 

Transplant happening with Dr. Hasson this Thursday - I plan to get a couple.

I had to loosen the baseball cap all the way to even get it on my head. And even then it would only fit on the very top. So I wore a bandana under it, and loosened that too. It didn't look natural at all, but it was enough for me to get back home.
