Regular Member gtz101 Posted February 20, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted February 20, 2010 Hi, I understand after HT surgery it is recommended to put on a cap for a few days. I am assuming this is in order to hide all the cut marks, blood stains etc on the head. My question is, is it a baseball cap or a trucker hat we are supposed to use? Are they the same thing or different? Whats a trucker cap? I'm looking at this site.......... https://www.urbanexcess.com/c-1044-trucker-caps.aspx Is this ok to use ............ https://www.urbanexcess.com/p-...-cap-blackblack.aspx Is has mesh grille at the back with cut out holes. Does the back area of the head need to be completely covered as this will be the donor area during HT surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hair_me_out Posted February 20, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted February 20, 2010 I don't think it matters except that the top of the hat doesn't touch the grafts to disturb them. Oh and a trucker hat is usually just slang for a cap with a mesh backing. They are traditionally high-profile (which is good) but in recent years have been knocked off for hipsters and can be any profile.

Regular Member gtz101 Posted February 21, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 21, 2010 just out of interest, if you had your crown treated for HT, would they also be expected to wear a hat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hair_me_out Posted February 21, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted February 21, 2010 Depends if it's FUE or strip. If it's strip, you'd want to wear a hat regardless of crown or hairline work. If it's FUE you might get away with just wearing a cap the first few days or weeks.
