When Are Hair Grafts Secure After a Hair Transplant?
After undergoing a hair transplant, one of the most common questions patients ask is:
"How long until my grafts are safe and fully secured?"
Generally, hair grafts are securely anchored into the scalp within the first 5 to 7 days after the procedure. However, proper care during this critical healing phase is essential to ensure optimal results.
🗓️ First 5 Days: Handle With Care
During the first few days:
- Avoid touching, rubbing, or scratching the scalp
- Do not wash your head unless specifically instructed
- Let scabs and crusts fall off naturally — picking can dislodge grafts
- Refrain from wearing tight hats or anything that puts pressure on the transplant area
💦 Avoid Sweat and Strain
To protect the grafts:
- Avoid intense workouts, bending over, or lifting heavy objects
- Keep your scalp cool and dry to prevent excess sweating
- Limit exposure to sun, dust, or pollution during outdoor activities
✅ After Day 5: Grafts Begin to Stabilize
By day 5, most grafts have started to anchor into the scalp. While they’re less vulnerable at this point, it's still important to continue gentle care:
- Use only the recommended shampoo
- Pat dry instead of rubbing
- Avoid direct water pressure on the transplanted area
