Doctors - Can graft direction change do to styling post transplant?


Recommended Posts

I hope I am not causing a spamming situation as I am merely trying to get more responses from doctors on this forum and hopefully get a more definitive conclusion as I think this would be an important matter for anyone undergoing a transplant. I did have a similar thread but failed to get the attention of any doctors so I hope I can get some doctors to chime in here this time as well. 
 

The idea is that if the scar tissue around the grafts is not fully healed for the 1st 6 months then can directional forces on the hair grafts through styling cause any directional shift?

I’ve heard that till month six hair styling should be avoided, combing forward or backwards might change the direction simply just let them grow. Once this phase is over you can style accordingly

You can change the direction of your hair based on how you style it. But the direction the hair exits the scalp does not change unless you remove it surgically and change the direction.
