Tips for Maintaining Hair Health after a Hair Transplant

In the article below, we will discuss some of the top tips that you should be using to care for your hair transplant, helping you to achieve a full head of healthy hair that will ensure the results of your recent transplantation surgery are as successful as they can be. 

 

First and foremost, it is important to concentrate primarily on cleaning the scalp as opposed to the entire length when washing your hair; cleaning hair completely can lead to dull fly-away hair or even leave hair feeling more coarse than usual. However, when conditioning the hair, the opposite is advised, only applying product to the ends of hair and avoiding the scalp. This advice should be followed particularly closely by those with finer hair, as applying conditioner at the root can work to make hair look flat and limp. 

Oily hair should be washed more frequently; how often you choose to clean your hair should be dependant on how much oil is naturally produced by your scalp. 

 

It is important to note that, as you age, your scalp begins to produce less oil, meaning hair may not need to be cleaned as frequently. However, if you begin to notice flakes in your hair, you might not be washing it enough. A build up of dirt on the scalp can lead to scalp diseases that could interfere with the success of your hair transplantation treatment. If you have an oily scalp, hair may need to be washed as often as once per day. 

 

Conditioner should be applied to the hair after every shampooing as this can help to greatly improve the looks of any weathered or damaged hair, providing protection from a multitude of external forces that could potentially harm hair health. Conditioner acts as a barrier from harmful things such as damaging UV rays, helping to improve hair strength over time and better the results of your hair transplant. 

 

It should also be ensured that the products that you are using to shampoo and condition your hair are recommended for your hair type. Making sure you use products that have been specifically formulated for your hair needs can greatly increase the overall health of your hair, and thus the success of your transplant surgery overall. There are many great shampoo and conditioner brands on the market for a range of different costs, allowing you to find the best option to suit your needs as well as your budget. 

 

By following just these few simple steps, those who have undergone a hair transplant may be able to greatly improve the overall health of their hair once they start to see results from their treatment, helping to achieve a full head of healthy, well cared for, hair.
