Q. How long after my hair transplant are my grafts secure?
Video Transcript:
- Following a hair transplant, grafts become progressively more stable after two weeks. That's the point where you can really go back to your normal hair care. But before that, particularly in the first few days, you need to do things like avoid wearing a hat, avoid a power shower and be particularly careful. It takes those few days for the grafts to become properly embedded and resist being disrupted.
- When we place the little grafts in the scalp at the surgery, it takes between 10 and 14 days for the body to glue the graft into position. The body produces a substance called fibrin, and that sets after about 10 to 14 days. So the root system, which is 3.5 millimeters underneath the skin, is then locked into position, and the hair is then there for the rest of the patient's life. - Věda a technologie
A few things that actually helped to control my hair fall include: (1) I stopped wearing ponytails because it leds to tension breakage. (2) I began massaging my scalp 2 times a week with liitleextra cocoonnion hair oil while bending over & holding my head inverted to allow blood flow to the scalp. (3) Protecting my head while moving out to shield my hair from dust and pollution. (4) Using gentle shampoo again from liittleextra only to wash my hair.
🎉
Due to reactivate hair growth serum the volume and shine I've noticed are unbelievable.
I am happy with the results I got with cocooniion oil n shampoo.
What a wonderful video. Direct to the point without long intros and unnecessary bs. Thank you so much!
Here, here!
Im almost at 14 days and i just want to go back to sleeping on my side asap 😫
My god, same. I’m averaging like 3 hours of sleep a night
@@pistachioodisguisey Good thing is time flies, I'm already at almost 50 days soon 😁
@@sillkthashocker How has it been going so far? Are you in what they call the "ugly duckling" phase?
@@pistachioodisguisey It all shed off around 3 weeks in. I'm starting to see regrowth right now but I still need more time. I've been using minoxidil on the recipient area so I'm hoping it speeds up the process.
@@sillkthashocker That's great news. It sounds like you've got only good things to look forward to. I'm still very scabby and itchy but looking forward to starting Minoxidil again and washing my hair for the first time lol. Sleep has been pretty rough, I'm hoping it gets better.
Short and simple ❤
They are 80% secure after just a few short days, but still be very careful for at least 7 days. After 14 days you're good!
I used to touch my hair after HT😢 i didnt know that
Very interesting video.
Something my surgeon told me the graphs are fairly secure by the fourth day if a graph does come out after this time it would not have grown anyway since it didn't anchor properly during the first few days
Thank you for this
You are very welcome.
During my 90-day hair growth journey, I did yoga and exercises, massaged my scalp using oil 3 times a week, shampooed one time a week, and used llitllextra reactivate hair growth serum. Consequently, my hair grew longer without any hair fall.
Useful video, I have done my hair transplant 5 days ago, and unfortunately start coughing, sneezing and cold, since the graft are very tiny and, will my new symptoms have negative impact on my hair transplant? Any advice please
We advise you see your doctor or the clinic where you had your transplant.
Hello. I’m on day 8 after FUE and my donor area has been stinging and throbbing for 3 days. It doesn’t seem to get better. I’m on painkillers all day but even so, at night it’s really painful. Visually, the recovery looks fine, but this pain is killing me. How long does it last?? Thank you.
Hi there, you should consult the surgeon who did your transplant
After 7 days post HT I was stupid enough to wash my head in the sink and I hit my head hard against the faucet. I was bleeding for a while and at least one graft fell out. Luckily it was not hairline zone.
Dont worry about it its not that easy for it to fail
Hi Alexander, feel free to reach out to us with any concerns you may have post HT. www.hrbr.ie/request-a-consultation/
Ihave the same experience 🤣 i bump my head after 4 day of HT. But i think it safe because it deep in ur skin
I got out of the cab on the first day of my transplant, same thing: bumped my head as I was getting out the car and bleeding but luckily, my consultant confirmed that there was no damage on the grafts. I was lucky.
I am on my day 10 now, I am super paranoid about heating my head, there has been a couple of near misses especially in and out of vehicles.
My hair transplant is 1month now, may HT started to shed,. I put on hair shadow to cover up my bald area, is it okay to used hair shadow? Thnx
Yes you can
Can my husband use Aminexil or Serioxyl on the grafts area , 3 months after hair transplant to help the hair grow faster?
It is best to consult your transplant surgeon
Ok so after 2 weeks I scratched my scalp with my fingers (not nails) and my scalp bled a little should I be worried about the transplanted grafts?
Newly transplanted hair grafts are secure in their new location on the scalp between 10 and 14 days following transplantation. Read more: www.hrbr.ie/blog/how-long-after-hair-transplant-grafts-secure/
What happened ? Is it ok now
@@rithishwise5115 yes it is (as far as I can see) was worried if I damaged it but after 2 weeks I think they start taking place in the scalp so should be no problem but if you experience itching I advise not using your nails just top of your finger like a knuckle. But my case was I did that in my sleep but still looks fine hair is growing now
I am on day 16th day but i work as a diver and i had to go back to work again.does my hair will get any problems because of the diving suit i weard today?
Hi there, after 14 days your grafts are fully secure.
@@HairRestorationBlackrock thanks!
One question, on day 39 (5.5 weeks) after my hair transplant, I hit my head violently while getting out of the car. Exactly the recipient area on the tonsure was affected. It didn't bleed! But afterwards I had a pulling and stabbing sensation. After a day no more complaints. The grafts may have experienced trauma here and may have been destroyed by the trauma. The grafts have not yet attached themselves to the bloodstream for a long time. Should I be worried? Thank you
We advise you see your doctor or the clinic where you had your transplant.
@@HairRestorationBlackrock Here is my doctor's answer: The impact is annoying, I wouldn't worry at the moment. The follicles are usually very well protected and anchored at this point. The fact that there was no bleeding is also a very good sign!
Bro it's obvious that there is nothing to worry aboyt after 5.5 weeks. Had it happened within 3 weeks that would be another story. Withik 2 weeks there would ve a great chance of loss of a small percentage of grafts.
If we pull out the transplanted hair by the roots, will new hair grow back on the same roots?
You should avoid touching hair grafts until at least 14 days after your surgery
Can I play football after 2 weeks? And will be playing with head protector?
Yes, you can return to all normal activities within two weeks, including sports. At HRBR you will have a post transplant consultation with the medical team. Once they are happy everything is OK you are OK to go back to sports etc.

I got transplant done 80 days ago, it was full head transplant 5500 grafts( left some part of crown). Now after 6 days there is a important wedding in our family, it’s 3-4 days function. Seems like Even hair fiber are not able to help this time as hair density on my head is extremely thin and hair are very short too.. should i wear hair patch ( clips on sides and back and tape on front ) ? Is that safe?
You should consult your surgeon directly
I'am 8 days after my hair transplant. The transplanted hair are still the same as the first day, they are not growing at all? Is it because the doctor planted dead hair?
It is best to consult your transplant surgeon
Hello. Are the new grafts resistant to DHT?
Hi there. Hair Transplant Surgery is a permanent hair loss treatment for men, the hair that is transplanted should not be affected by the balding process and should, therefore, be on your head for the rest of your life. Read more here: www.hrbr.ie/hair-loss-symptoms-causes-treatment/
@@HairRestorationBlackrock Thanks for replying
The hair on the side of your head is not affected by DHT so no problem if you transplant them.
For those who struggle to sleep - i did too until i bought a better travel pillow, and then would lock the front to mid of the travel pillow to the side of my head whilst lying down sidewards on my normal pillow, works everytime, feels comfortable and wouldnt let me move all night, would recommend
I did the same and you are absolutely right. Life saver!
Hey sir please reply.. i got hit by comb by my nephew on transplanted area and got swelling,, does it affect my grafts ???
Don’t worry. I hit my head to a surface , it got bruised and swelling and slight bleeding and a cut on 3rd day. I was so worried.
Nothing happened. N it grew back really good.
@@CanadaP thanks alot sir

Please can you update on you result, did anything happen? Thx in advance 😊
@@AndTon95 no problem at all... It turned out well
@@SHADMAN94690 thx mate :)
I'm 6 weeks in and bumped my head on a corner. I hit the transplanted area and It hurt a little bit as it happened and I got like a tiny bit of blood and I was so afraid I had damaged something.
If it’s past the two week period you should be totally fine
Are you sure about that. I heard they just last for 10 years and you have to go back for more treatment
The hairs in your donor area are not susceptible to dht. So they are permanent, yes. The reason you lose your hair follicles is due to dht production from testosterone.
No, the transplanted hairs are permanent. They will stay there for the rest of your life.

Bro your hair grown or not ??
Hey guys, I know it’s been a year but I was hoping to get some help. Day 17 post op dhi, I woke up and my head was itching. I scratched it with my fingertips(no nails) no lightly and I looked at my hand and there was blood. I found a hair with skin on it and I’m missing a hair where the blood spot is. Can I have lost the graft? Will hair still grow? Was it secure?
I scratched all my scabs off during the nights with my fingers but I seemed to heal quick. I'm currently shedding and looking forward to it all growing back
If your transplant was with HRBR please contact HRBR. All HRBR patients are provided with contact details for the medical team in case they have any post op concerns.
Im 3 and a half weeks post op, and had a couple of questions.. due to the hot weather ive been sweating quite alot under my hat as im protecting ny head fron the sun but in turn that causes me to sweat a fair amount.. i also bumped my head earlier today on my transplant area. This has all occured after 3 weeks, as the first 2 weeks i spent off work and isolated sleeping in the dracula set up...
Are my grafts likely to be okay? I have started shedding and thats heen happening from around 2 and a half weeks onwards.
Thanks for any help
I am wondering after complete shedding do you have scars which shows people that you have done beard transplant or it does show it?

@@taribelloche3846 the surgery
How does it looks when a graft come out? I did hair transplant a week ago and i worry if i lost a graft bec yesterday i slept by accident on the side! So i would like to know how it will look like if i lost a graft? Will it be a blood? Or will it be hair somewhere outside the graft?
Did the same thing last night. Had the graft stuck to my forehead. Temple area is the most sensitive from what I understand. My back hurts sleeping flat. Only getting 2-3hrs of sleep a night that way.
@@plasticmonument320why don’t you sleep in a chair , that’s what I am going to do , I’ll get them pillow neck things and just try close my eyes , yeah I’ll get hardly any sleep but it’ll be good for my hairs
Patients need not be concerned when sleeping, our experience is that our patients should not cause any harm to their newly transplanted hair while sleeping www.hrbr.ie/blog/sleeping-following-hair-transplant-surgery/
why do i have a dried blood spot after all the scabs are removed and it’s been a month of my hair transplant?
