I took a very hot shower for a few mins and my scalp was redder than usual for a while after the shower. The grafts are firmly embedded into the skin by around 2 weeks post op and there's nothing to suggest a hot shower will harm them. The extra redness will be from the body reacting to the temperature. Some people imo have a bit of a wives tale about hot showers and water going on the scalp causing hair loss, but unless you were pouring actual boiling water on yourself resulting in like true 3rd degree burns, i do not see the hot water causing an issue. I think you'll be fine. 1 Follow my first Hair Transplant Journey!
