#AskDrJohnWatts

Patients frequently ask various questions about baldness, hair grafts, hair loss, hair transplant procedures, hair transplant care, post-hair transplant precautions, and medical treatments for hair loss. This includes followers of Dr John Watts, who inundate his popular channel with queries on these hair-related issues.

There are several misconceptions and a lack of awareness about the appropriate time for combing hair after a hair transplant procedure. When is the ideal time to start combing one’s hair after a hair transplant? What precautions should one follow while combing hair post-hair transplant?

In this educational video session, Dr John Watts — a renowned dermatologist, trichologist, and one of Hyderabad’s top hair transplant surgeons — enlightens viewers on this topic.

Ramesh JKM2 asks: “Sir, can I immediately comb my hair after undergoing a hair transplant procedure? Please explain.”

Typically, combing one’s hair can enhance blood flow to the scalp, which is beneficial for hair health. However, after undergoing a hair transplant, it’s crucial to exercise caution when combing one’s hair.

In this educational video, Dr John Watts, a renowned hair transplant surgeon based in Hyderabad, outlines the essential guidelines for combing hair following a hair transplant procedure.

Dr Watts emphasizes the importance of avoiding the urge to comb one’s hair immediately after the procedure. On the first day, it’s crucial not to comb the hair at all, as the newly implanted follicles are still settling. This precaution helps prevent dislodging the grafts. Likewise, on the second and third days, combing should be avoided. During this period, the bandages may need to be removed, and one might require a gentle head wash from the hair transplant team.

Around days six to seven, the scabs on one’s scalp will begin to fall off. At this stage, one can gently comb the hair on the sides of the head, being careful not to disturb the newly implanted areas. From days fifteen to twenty-five, as the hair shafts shed, a wide-tooth comb can be used for a gentle, non-invasive combing experience.

For patients undergoing long hair transplants, Dr Watts advises against combing in the initial days to avoid tangling and matting of the hair. After the first week, starting from day seven or eight, one can use a wide-tooth comb for soft combing. Once the hair shafts start to fall out between days fifteen and twenty-five, regular combing can be resumed.

Following these guidelines will help ensure that the hair transplant heals properly and the new hair follicles remain undisturbed.
