This question, from a member of our hair loss social community and discussion forums, was answered by Coalition hair transplant surgeon Dr. William Lindsey:
I know this is an old tune I’m singing but I keep hearing that wearing a hat, even months after hair transplant surgery, can slow or even limit hair growth.
In my mind it doesn’t make sense. The grafts and just hair in general need blood not oxygen from the air. Can someone give me some input on this? Can hats really make a significant difference on how your hair grows? I’ve been wearing one non-stop since my hair transplant and my results, although it’s early, seem slow.
Three results do not make a study, but may reassure you.
