Hair Transplant Day 21 and scalp is flaky. Is this normal?

[Ray786]

Hello All,

it’s day 21 of my procedure and these past 6 days have been kind of odd, because the hair is flaky and feels dry. What is the reason for this?

I was given hydrating shampoo from my clinic which was fine but that finished and I immediately switched to Baby Shampoo and that’s when the flaky hair started after 2 uses of baby shampoo I stopped it and bought rosemary clarifying shampoo from Target store, hair still flaky.

 

what can I do, I contacted my clinic they said to buy shampoo at the store that’s natural shampoo. 
 

also my donor area is still red, is this normal ?

After my first hair transplant just over a year ago my scalp was also dry. It didn’t matter what kind of shampoo I used it just made my scalp drier. I didn’t wash my scalp for two months. If your scalp is dry I would leave it alone until it settles. All the best!

This happened to me also - completely normal. Happy growing!

Yes normal. Your head has gone through major trauma. Mr Dr advised almond oil to moisturise the area which helped greatly. I’d speak to your own Dr first though before trying anything
