At Hair Clinic Wolf, we understand the importance of the right hair products after your hair transplant. Find out which products promote recovery and make your new hair shine.
When to use certain hair products after a hair transplant?
We often get several questions about hair products after hair transplant. When can I wash my hair again after the hair transplant? How long should I wait to dye my hair after hair transplant? Which shampoo should I use after the treatment? When can I use gel again?
after hairtransplantation? These are obviously important questions. You obviously want the best result at the end of the restoration process. Therefore, the use of hair products depends entirely on the state of your scalp. Just after treatment the scalp is sensitive and it is advised not to wet the head, wash it or use gel for the first few days. We are happy to tell you more and in more detail about these specific questions and hair products after hair transplantation. After the treatment you will also receive an extensive list of guidelines which are important for you.
Can I use gel after the hair transplant?
It is best to wait a while with gel after a hair transplant. Not necessarily for the hair, but mainly for the scalp. This is because gel often contains perfume and other products that cause the scalp to dry out. A dry scalp is therefore not very desirable in the recovery process. This counteracts the recovery, which can make it take longer before your scalp recovers and you see results. The same goes for hair spray after hair transplantation. This also has a drying effect, which will slow down hair growth. For this reason we recommend to wait at least two weeks before using gel after the hair transplant.
Washing hair after hair transplant
The vast majority of shampoos also contain perfume or alcohol which causes the scalp to dry out. The first few days after treatment you will notice that the scalp is sensitive. There are scabs and wounds that still need to recover. It is therefore the intention to postpone washing your hair after the hair transplant. We recommend that you wait at least a week before you can start doing this. This way you can be sure that your scalp has had time to recover.
Of course, it is recovery-process In every person it is slightly different. Some recover very quickly while others need a little more time. Not sure if your scalp has recovered yet? Then wait a little longer just to be sure. The recovery process is very important!
Dyeing hair after hair transplant
Do you often dye your hair and wonder when you can dye your hair again after the hair transplant? Then we recommend that you really wait a while with this. Hair dye generally contains substances that are not very good for your hair. In addition, this hair product also has a drying effect. We recommend waiting at least six weeks before using hair dye. This is best postponed as long as possible. However, you can start cutting your hair earlier. You can do this after 1 month. Again, pay attention to which hair products you use when cutting hair. Sometimes it’s best to wait a while, depending on the product as you read above.
When can I use hair products after hair transplant now?
The bottom line is that many hair products contain substances that have a drying effect on the hair and scalp. This is very detrimental to the recovery process. We therefore recommend that you wait as long as possible before using most hair products after transplantation. How long depends on the product. Is the product not indicated above? Then wait at least a month after the hair transplant to use it. This is because the longer you wait, the more time the scalp has to recover. This also prevents you from accidentally starting to use these products too early. Do you still have a question or is there something not quite clear? Do not hesitate to contact us. We are happy to help and inform you!
