It is generally recommended to avoid wearing a cap or any tight headwear for at least 10-14 days after a hair transplant procedure to avoid disrupting the newly transplanted hair grafts and potentially causing them to dislodge. This is because the first week after a hair transplant is a critical period during which the grafts are still settling into their new locations and establishing a blood supply. Any friction, pressure or stretching on the scalp can cause the grafts to become dislodged or damaged.
However, some hair transplant surgeons may recommend a slightly different timeline based on the specific technique used and individual recovery progress. It is important to follow the post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon and avoid any activities that may compromise the success of your hair transplant.
