Bill - Seemiller Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 hair_care, Technically, you can go out in the sun immediately after hair transplant surgery. But wear a loose fitting hat for the first ten days. After 10 days, you can wear any kind of hat or head covering that will protect you from the sun. After 2 weeks, if you prefer, you can apply sunblock to your scalp. Personally, I just prefer to wear that hat because application is messy and makes your scalp sticky. Honestly, it's always the best policy hair transplant or not to protect your skin with sunblock or a covering. However, if you insist on exposing your scalp to the sun unprotected, I would wait at least 6 months. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member bash77 Posted October 1, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted October 1, 2009 Yikes, i spent 10 mins in the sun yesterday and 20 minutes today. Currently in LA (late 70's) and 21 days out. Trust everything will be okay? Fyi, the grafts haven't started shedding yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
