Senior Member Lennney Posted December 13, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted December 13, 2019 I wore the bandana I was given for about 2 weeks. I then moved onto a baseball cap that was somewhat professional (repin' my university at work), something that doesn't seem "too" out of place. I also kept the HT quiet except for a few trusted coworkers. I also mentioned and showed it to my boss, who is ultimately the one who is responsible for dress code. My baseball hat was not mesh, and I don't think it's that big a deal (unless you work in hot conditions that causes a lot of sweat). After too long, I finally got a flat cap. I wish I had gotten it sooner. My HT buddy, HLPToronto recommended it, and raved about how it is work professional and makes him appear more classy. I would probably rock the flat cap about 2-3 weeks after a HT. The donor looks normal, or at least inconspicuous at that point. Just whatever you do, have the cap rest on non-HT areas (temple, sides etc.) for the first 10 days or so. After that, its okay for it to touch your recipient hair, just very lightly (have your hat be very loosely fit).

Isn't that bad for the recipient area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Fred88 Posted December 13, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) If you wana compare a mesh baseball cap with a bucket hat, which one would be the best? (afraid of flat hat closeness) I'm a bit concerned about the breathability. Edited December 13, 2019 by Fred88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
