Regular Member axor Posted October 22, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted October 22, 2019 Hello. So I am like 10 days after my DHI hair transplant and I started working. I kinda hate my bald look thou and I plan on wearing a cap 8 hour a day. That type of rap cap that hip-hoppers wear in music clips. Is it ok ? could it affect my hair ? or grafts ? or the hair transplant over all ? BE honest. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted October 23, 2019 Administrators Share Posted October 23, 2019 Yes, you can wear a cap, your grafts are anchored in to your scalp after 9 days.

Senior Member Sean Posted October 23, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted October 23, 2019 Id avoid a cap or any pressure for few months. Why? It’s an expensive surgery and a lot of hassle to go through healing period. Besides, there are cases of sikhs who wear turbans daily that can end up with traction alopecia. If that can cause hairloss for them, a hat for long hours and certain tightness may do the same. Just an added risk to an already risky procedure. Its up to you if you feel it is worth it. Best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member axor Posted October 23, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 23, 2019 These are mixed opinions. I really wanna know can it harm my hair transplant or not ? the pressure on head is not big, it's moderate with this cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member pkipling Posted October 25, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted October 25, 2019 You can actually wear a hat immediately following surgery, given that you're smart and cautious about it. The day of my procedure, I wore a high standing/loose fitting adjustable cap. As long as you're making very certain that the hat isn't resting on the grafts (so have it rest below the hairline, for example) and you're very careful when putting it on and taking it off, you'l be fine. In fact, the hat supports in keeping the sun out of direct sunlight when you're outside. And even with all of that, at day 10 you're more than okay wearing a hat.
