Hey buddy, try to keep it in one comment so other posts could be seen. The scabbing is normal, it will happen to everyone around 10 days, but I believe you're seeing some spacing because the transplant isn't of high density. It is a large area for 3,000 grafts, but I don't know what your expectations are for density.

Could you give more details, how many grafts is that? Who was the surgeon? 

You need to soak your scalp with conditioner to remove the scabs

And allow to soak for a good 10-15 minutes before rubbing them off.

After scab removal, what is the preferred method for drying?

You can simply pat dry with a clean towel....would also avoid using a hot hair dryer at this point in time post-op.

Most docs advise to simply pour a lukewarm shampoo and water solution over the grafted area (50/50) mix...no rubbing...just pouring for several days post-op.

After day 3...interesting...it does not hurt to be extra precautionary.

Thanks @Melvin-Moderator for the video. Curious as to what day you think we should do the conditioner treatment to remove the scabs?  I'm on Day 11 and have started to assist the removal of the scabs for the last couple days by gently rubbing and dislodging where it's comfortable.  So just want to know when you think it's appropriate to do the conditioner treatment to remove all the scabs?
