Hats after FUE?

[CurlymixedUK]

Hey all, 

I have a few questions regarding hats and FUE. Obviously avoiding sun exposure is really important, so just want to make sure I have an array of appropriate hats to wear for months after my surgery.

What types of hat should I be wearing post op?

What types of hat should I avoid post op?

I don’t want to wear anything that might irritate the grafts or scalp. Thanks guys.

There is no better or worse in terms of "hats"

Basically, the more irritation, pressure and rubbing it does, the worse.

If you find one hat that does none of the above for you, its the perfect hat

If it's cool enough weather wise where you are and it's fashionable, I'd go with a stocking cap that wasn't snug.

I'm not much of a hat guy so in the sun post op, well after that initial period of course, I'd use a spf mist spray. But mostly kept my sun exposure to a minimum.

Oh the stocking cap and spf mist spray are both really good ideas, thanks mate

Play it safe and just wear standard baseball hats. 

Avoid any hats that may catch onto your hair.
