Senior Member harin Posted November 10, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted November 10, 2015 Quick question guyz. Just tried to wash my head 7 days post HT and scrubbed lightly and saw few hairs fall out along with the scabs (10-15). Is it normal?. How soon after a HT are the roots secure?,I have heard some peoplesay 5 days,some 7 days, some 10-12 days??. Appreciate the help. Thanks.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted November 11, 2015 Administrators Share Posted November 11, 2015 After a week they're secure, I wouldn't worry about it, however what was your doctors washing instructions? I only rinsed my hair with baby shampoo in a bowl of water, I didn't scrub my hair until 2 weeks. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Senior Member harin Posted November 11, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 11, 2015 Instructions are to gently shampoo and gently scrub after 6 days. I have stopped any scrubbing though. Will live with some scab for another 4-5 days. Then as u said my plan is to scrub off scabs at that time. I was told though in many people roots are SeCured by 7 th day. In some it might be 10-12 days. Though this was only few grafts I was a bit worried. My Thread: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted November 11, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted November 11, 2015 It sounds like the graft hair came off with the crusts. And I agree to wait until 10 days or so post-op before removing them... Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.

NoName Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Your hair should be pretty save by now. 15 hairs will be lost but you still have a few more hundreds secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
