In general, it is recommended to avoid touching the grafts directly with your hands for at least the first 14 days after a hair transplant to prevent dislodging them. After that, you can gently touch them with clean hands or as directed by your doctor. However, it is important to follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by your doctor as every individual's healing process may vary.
After 10 days, your hair grafts should be more secure and less susceptible to damage, but it's still important to be gentle when touching them. It's generally best to avoid touching the grafts or the transplanted area as much as possible to give the new hair follicles time to properly settle into place. If you do need to touch the area, make sure to do so with clean hands and very gently.
Avoid rubbing, scratching, or applying any pressure to the grafts to avoid damaging them. Your hair transplant surgeon or technician can provide specific instructions on how to care for your grafts during the recovery process.
