It depends on the harvesting method.  If FUT, you want to wait until the sutures are gone.  If FUE, no restrictions after 7 days.  I would start washing normally and then get to it.  But, some clinics are more conservative than others.  Check with the clinic you worked with and ask for their input.   There's a reason why you chose that particular group to begin with.  Why not follow their protocol?

@gogo123,

Each hair transplant surgeon will provide their patients with a list of postoperative instructions which should include information on when is OK and acceptable to cut your hair.

That said, to be safe, it may be best to wait a full 10 days to ensure all the follicular units are fully secured underneath the surface of the scalp. This will also give the donor area a chance to heal a bit.

Now, if you’ve undergone FUT/strip, you will likely still have sutures or staples in at 10 days. Either way, if you do get a haircut, just be sure your barber knows about your hair transplant, any sutures or staples you still have in and that he proceeds with caution.

Best wishes,

You should be able to cut both the top and donor area after 28 days.
