Washing hair after transplant

We will give you a special hair wash in the form of spray to use it on the hair without touching it. You can wash your hair with shampoo two days after the operation. This will remove any dead skin and will also clean dandruff that may have formed around the transplanted hairs. The donor area must be kept clean to prevent the crusts from forming, which hinder the healing of wounds. You can wash your hair normally after a month from the transplant.
