Regular Member Ivan Ivanov Posted May 4 Regular Member Share Posted May 4 Hello people, I hope You are fine! ❤️ I need advice and help, because I'm very worried, but I don't know if there's a reason. I went for a hair transplant in Turkey but because I washed my hair every day (the first 10 days according to the doctor's recommendation) my scalp was dry and a lot of crusts appear, I'm not talking about scabs, but about mild dandruff... I had bought a spray some time ago which is special only with 100% natural herbs for hair growth and skin soothing but contains about 10% alcohol to dissolve the herbs and accordingly I only used on ninth(9) day spray on my scalp once which actually stung a little because of my irritated skin and more the fresh wound from the transplant but it calmed her down afterwards My question is is it possible I hit the grafts I didn't have any bleeding I'm just worried Thanks a lot and sorry for my English 🙏❤️ P.S The first three photos(from top to bottom)are from today(day 18) the other 4 are from the 9th day I used the spray, and the other is the contents of the spray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much for your reply sir! 🙏❤️ Is it possible from the lotion that I have burned the grafts or on the 9th day this is impossible? As I wrote the lotion is about 10 maximum 11% alcohol (I measured it) and i only used it once about 10 sprays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer isn’t suddenly going to change mate! If your shampoo could “burn the grafts”, then every hair on your body that it comes into contact with it would theoretically burn, too. Unless you’re now smooth as a newborn baby all over, you’ll be ok! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member YodaHead Posted May 5 Regular Member Share Posted May 5 All looks normal. It is also normal to start shedding and/or shock loss as early as in two weeks. In my opinion, it is better to just let your head heal naturally rather than using products (even if the label says natural) so soon after HT. Always seek approval from your doctor before putting anything on your hair, especially during the initial phase after the surgery. Sometimes trying to “help” or “speed up” things actually makes it worse. 1 12.5k grafts with Dr. Felipe Pitella in Jan 2024.

Unless you’re now smooth as a newborn baby all over, you’ll be ok! It wasn't Shampoo, it was Lotion My problem and concerns are that the wound is fresh and not completely healthy and nine days before applying the lotion the new grafts were put in The other part of my body is healthy there is no irritated skin and no wound and it is normal that the lotion does not burn the hair My concern was that the alcohol from the lotion would not penetrate into my canals and from there burn the grafts because the skin was not healed and when I put the lotion on I felt a slight burning sensation (I guess from the contact of the alcohol in the lotion and unhealed scalp) Otherwise I agree with you!

Senior Member gillenator Posted May 6 Senior Member Share Posted May 6 It’s always very important to wait until the scalp is completely healed before applying anything…most clinics advise their patients to remove the crusts after approximately 10-12 days…and then a lotion enriched with aloe vera is all that’s needed to soothe the scalp and facilitate complete healing of the epidermis. 1 Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted May 6 Moderators Share Posted May 6 You should be fine. Believe it or not, in the old days the clinic used to give you a bottle of hydrogen peroxide and a bottle of rubbing alcohol and you were supposed to dab them on the grafts and strip scar until the scabs come off and the sutures or staples come out.

Senior Member A Fue Good Men Posted May 6 Senior Member Share Posted May 6 Probably fine. I’d make sure to rinse the spray residue and shampoo it off as best as you can and not use it until your scalp is fully healed.

I applied the lotion on the ninth day at the end of the healing process (but not completely) I still had crusts Is it possible that I did not damage (burn) the grafts and everything is Ok? there was no bleeding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So stop worrying now and focus on healing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Ivan Ivanov Posted May 8 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 8 After how long is it safe to use the lotion? It stimulates hair growth because it contains natural extracts of aloe vera, lavender,nettles, chamomile, rosemary and more, and also soothes my scalp so that I don't have dandruff, which in turn hinders hair growth more or less I remind you that the lotion contains a small amount of alcohol (about 10-11%) Thanks 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Ivan Ivanov Posted May 9 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 9 I have an interesting question. Why, after it is claimed that the grafts are secured after 10-15 days, it is not recommended to cut with a clipper for the first six months, aren't the grafts safe? 🙄🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
