Regular Member Ramez Posted December 10, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted December 10, 2016 Hello everyone, I've got 3 questions I would appreciate if you can answer. First, after how many days/weeks can I normally comb my hair in the recipient area with a normal comb (assuming I am transplanting in between native hairs, so the comb is running through the recipient where I will also be having ) Second, after how many days/weeks can I aggressively dry my hair with a towel like I used to before my procedure? Third, is it safe to use protein powder after my HT? (pure protein that includes different protein sources such as whey, soy etc... and vitamins, but no creatine or others) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted December 10, 2016 Administrators Share Posted December 10, 2016 Hi Ramez, First let me preface my answers by saying consult with your clinic. Now in my personal experience by my clinics directions, I combed my hair normally once the grafts shed around the 3 week mark. I resumed normal towel drying the same time. As far as im aware protein has no significant impact on hair growth or hair loss it is an essential macro nutrient, some people attribute hair loss to protein because they notice hair loss when they begin wotking out and taking protein, it is likely that their testosterone is increased from the excercise thus leading to a conversion of testosterone to DHT which occurs naturally in the body. It is not that protein increases DHT, protein is an essential nutrient needed to sustain a healthy body, hope this makes sense. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic. My comments are not medical advice.

Senior Member KO Posted December 12, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted December 12, 2016 You shouldn't be aggressively towel drying in general. Be gentle... 3382 FUE Lupanzula http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/185463-3382-grafts-lupanzula.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
