Regular Member jooeey Posted November 12, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted November 12, 2019 I understand there is no common agreed regime or guideline on after how many days of a Hair Transplant can the person have a full head wash. Every Clinic has its own regime. So what is the general consensus as far as starting a full fledged head wash. I had a Headwash after my Hair Transplant on the 9th day, was it too early ? Would my Hair Grafts be Safe ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member LaserCap Posted November 12, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted November 12, 2019 You start washing from day 1. Typically using the pour method. Pour shampoo into the area and just rinse off with a cup of water. Do not let the shower hair water hit your head. It is important to keep the area clean. You can gently massage the donor, sides and back. Do this for 6 days. On the 7th day you can start massaging the top of the head with the tips of your fingers. If you still have any crusting by the 9th day, get in the shower and let everything soak in warmer water and scrub away. If you live near the clinic, you can have them do the wash the first few days. The first three days are critical. Very hard to hurt anything after that. You did not wash your hair for 9 days? What clinic did you go to?

Just kept spraying Saline Water on the recepient area. A lot of people say it is only by the 7th days the Grafts are locked and loaded !! Nothing to fear after that. So i don't know who is to believe. By the way I've one additional question so when the hair Grafts are secured does the blood supply to the Grafts also start during that period only ?

Senior Member Dazed Posted November 12, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted November 12, 2019 I used the aforementioned pour method for about 2 months. I did not feel a burning desire to scrub my transplants. I always err on the side of caution. What do you have to lose by taking it easy?

Senior Member LaserCap Posted November 12, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted November 12, 2019 The head is very vascular. It is constant. The reason why you want to keep the area clean is to avoid infections. If bacteria crawls into the recipient sites, you are just looking for trouble.
