Anti-dandruff shampoo after HT


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, first time visiting this message board. It seems like a great community. I ran into an issue today, and I hope I can get advise.

I am now 10 days post HT. The instructions of my surgeon were to alternate shampoos (starting day 2 post op)- a medicated (antimicrobial) shampoo with a shampoo of my choice. For the later, the surgeon recommended Head and shoulders!

So for the past week Ive been alternating daily with these 2 shampoos. I have came across several posts today claiming that both these shampoos are way too harsh for new graphs. I am now wondering if I should switch head and shoulders for a baby shampoo. As of right now, I havent noticed any visible signs of damaged graphs from shampooing, but I don't want to risk this going forward. Any advice?       

I am very new to this procedure. So I don't know if I am overreacting

Once the crusts are ready to be removed, enough healing has taken place in the recipient area and IMHO the product Head and Shoulders should be fine to use.

I started using this shampoo approximately 2 months ago and it's the best product I have experienced...I wash my hair every third day.
