Regular Member jc80220 Posted February 23, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted February 23, 2023 I've asked my clinic (Hair Dr) and they say only scissor cut it for the first six months, but I read in lots of other places it can be clipped after a week. Thoughts, guys? 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted February 23, 2023 Administrators Share Posted February 23, 2023 The donor or recipient? The donor you should be able to trim with clippers after a week. The recipient though, id agree only with scissors for at least a month. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Regular Member jc80220 Posted February 23, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) The donor. Thanks 🙂 Does it matter how low the grade is? I wouldn't 0 it, but if you go too low could I hurt the area that's healing? (I'm a month, post surgery, next Tuesday) Edited February 23, 2023 by jc80220 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Rafael Manelli Posted February 23, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted February 23, 2023 I’ll just chip in to say I agree with Melvin Did you get Fue or fut? With fut you have to leave the hair longer to hide the scar. With Fue you may be able to shave to a one or two guard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No razors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A number two grade isn't cutting it short enough, am I okay to go to a one grade, which looks fine? Would I be okay to cut the recipient on a one as well? I'm now approximately one month after surgery. Just another thing as well, whilst I'm here. The donor area has grown back but there's a small area that is thinner than the rest. I know about over harvesting, but is this normal to begin with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can cut and buzz the hair at 1 month no problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jc80220 Posted February 28, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 28, 2023 Thanks, so much 🙂 As you get so many different answers when Googling, just another couple of questions. When can I shower normally again, as in, allow my head to go under the jet? When can I wash my hair normally again, as right now I'm still using the jug method. Actually massage shampoo it in to my scalp, use my old shampoo's (I'm currently using SebaMed, provided by the clinic) and towel dry? Many thanks 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
