Regular Member Vortex Posted April 21, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) Hey guys, how long do you have to wait post-op before buzzing / cutting hair? I have been letting it grow out for a few months ever since I had my HT (shaved FUE), so as you can imagine, the difference between my native / transplanted areas are looking quite ridiculous now. 😅 I really want to buzz my whole head down to 3mm or so but I don’t know if it could somehow affect or damage the growth, or if I’d have to use scissors?

Regular Member Rafael Manelli Posted April 21, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted April 21, 2023 It won’t harm the grafts at all at your stage. Not a chance. Buzz away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzz away. Ok cool, thanks! Do you know what the advised time period is before buzzing the scalp? I’ve seen so many different opinions online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the pics determine whether or not the scalp can be shaved months after FUE? Or you just curious to see? I may make a thread soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really the only danger is if you buzz so low you cut the skin or the vibrations traumatise the grafts, which is very unlikely. At your stage it’s completely fine.
