[intoleranz1]

It's day Seven After my hair transplant now. Is it a Problem to wear a thin beanie on day 10, for a hole day?
and when can i lay on the grafts when i'm sleeping, without a risk?

I remember reading you don't want to wear a hat for about 2 weeks, I would do my best to avoid beanies for as long as possible as they actively rub on the grafts. Baseball would be better, snapbacks are for swaggots.

To answer your question short, grafts are fully anchored within six days, and will have no problem forehand with being dislodged, even pulled by force.

By day 6 the grafts are fully secure.


yes u can wear a hat, and do anything that you normally would. Avoid prolonged sun exposure though...

Great, that's a relief. Thanks

I wore a surgical bandanna for the 24 hours following my procedure and then a loose fitting cap from that point on (New Eras are good for this).

Just be weary not to adjust/slide anything that's on your head for the first week, carefully remove your beanie/hat/whatever by pulling it away from the recipient area first
