When Can I Get a Haircut After Hair Transplant Surgery?
This hair loss question was answered by Dr. Robert True of New York, NY who is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians. His professional answer is below.
When can I get a hair cut after hair restoration surgery?
It’s important to wait at least 5 to 7 days after your hair transplant suture removal to get a haircut. It is best to keep the hair at the level of the donor incision 1/2 inch or longer with your first 3- 4 haircuts.
It takes 8 to 12 months after the procedure for the donor incision to reach its final stage of healing and for all the hair to grow back around the incision. For some skin types it is common for the incision line to be pink for several weeks to a few months before fading to normal skin color. For some hair transplant patients, there may be temporary hair loss and shedding adjacent to the donor incision. It takes 6 to 12 month for full hair regrowth and recovery of these shed hairs.

I just had my second procedure. Hair transplants are a life changing procedure. Nothing bad here. Just make sure you follow the Doctor’s detailed instructions.

Dear Warning,
Comments posted on this blog automatically go to a moderation queue and are approved (if they’re not spam) when a moderator gets a chance to view them. You posted “I suppose you haven’t got the guts to post my comments” 1 whole minute after posting your initial comment. If anything, this shows you have absolutely no patience and thus, I would never recommend hair transplantation for you.
That said, it seems that you’ve already had a hair transplant and clearly a bad experience. Well, I’m sorry to hear that. However, hair transplant surgery, when done right can restore a very natural looking head of hair in many men. I’m one of thousands where hair transplantation was the right choice for me. But it is definitely not the right choice for everybody.
If you have had poor work done, perhaps you should consult a reputable surgeon to see what they can do to help you. Clearly you’re still looking for help otherwise you wouldn’t be researching and posting your comments on hair loss websites. Regardless, I wish you the best in getting on with your life.
Best Regards,
Bill

Lies. You use people merely to practice your experimental research. If you ever get bald, avoid being trapped in this organized crime called hair-transplant. They need mice in their labs and you’ll be one of them.
