Post hair transplant care is the key to successful surgery and achieving natural, permanent results. At Harir Hair Transplant Center in Amman, we provide you with a comprehensive aftercare guide to ensure quick recovery and optimal hair growth.
First 48 Hours After Hair Transplant
⚠️ Critical Period: The first two days are the most important for securing transplanted follicles.
What to Do:
- Sleep in a semi-upright position (head elevated 45 degrees) to reduce swelling
- Use the provided medical pillow
- Apply cold compresses to the forehead (not on transplanted area)
- Take prescribed medications on schedule (antibiotic + pain reliever)
- Drink plenty of water (2-3 liters daily)
What to Avoid:
- Touching the transplanted area at all
- Washing hair in first 48 hours
- Direct sun exposure
- Smoking and alcohol
- Strenuous physical activity
Hair Washing After Transplant: The Correct Method
📅 Washing Schedule:
Day 3-10: Daily washing very gently
Day 11-15: Wash every other day
After two weeks: Normal washing
Correct Washing Steps (from Day 3):
- Preparation: Apply moisturizing lotion to transplanted area for 30-45 minutes
- Water: Use lukewarm water (not hot or cold) with very low pressure
- Shampoo: Use prescribed medical shampoo, lather in your hands first
- Application: Pat very gently (don’t rub or scrub)
- Rinsing: Pour water gently, avoid direct pressure
- Drying: Use soft towel with light patting (no rubbing)
💡 Golden Tip: In the first days, wash your hair over the sink while sitting, not directly under the shower.
