Welcome to my channel hairliciously. I've been getting a lot of emails lately asking me how I was able to hide or conceal my hair transplant. The number 1 thing that is most stressful about a hair transplant is the procedure itself. The 2nd most stressful thing after a hair transplant is trying to cover it up so that people around you won’t know that you had one done.
1. Take time off! I would advise anyone who has had a HT to take at least 2-3 weeks off to let everything heal. During the first 2 weeks, you really don’t want to do anything that may cause the implanted hairs to fall out. Based on a study done, it takes about 2 weeks for the hair grafts to be implanted permanently. Taking time off will also allow the donor and recipient areas to heal as well as the scabs to fall off. The first week is probably the most hardest part since you won’t be able to get a good night’s sleep. In my case, I was paranoid of rolling over and damaging my grafts while sleeping. And since there are open wounds the first few days, I really couldn’t get a good nights sleep anyway. So, take some time off, let everything settle in and give your scalp a chance to heal
2. Wear a hat or beanie! As you guys are aware, I had my FUE hair transplant done in Korea last Nov. and had 1700 grafts implanted into the frontal portion. Some people say that you can go to work the following day after a HT, but based on my experience, I would advise that you take at least 2 weeks before going back to work. The back of the scalp (donor area) does a great job of healing itself due to its immense blood supply so 2 weeks should be enough to completely the donor area. As you can see in the pictures, this is about 2 weeks post op and you can barely notice anything in the donor area. The recipient area will be red for a while, in my case it was about 3 months (it all depends how well you heal), so I simply wore a beanie to work. Luckily, I work in an office setting where work attire is pretty lax, so I simply got a doctor’s note indicating I had to wear a beanie due to a medical issue. This was also during the wintertime, so not a lot of people questioned me when I wore a beanie. But from my experience, a beanie or a hat is the best way to conceal a hair transplant.
3. Grow out your hair a few months prior to your HT! While there is nothing you can do about the donor area as the doctor will shave it down to a 0 or 1 clipper to extract the grafts, you can grow out the frontal portion of your hair, esp. if you are getting work done to the hairline, to cover it up. Like I mentioned, take at least 2 weeks off to let the donor area heal a bit. You can try rocking a hair style where you can shave the sides and the back while growing the frontal portion to cover up the hair transplant. Now if you also get your temporal angles rebuilt, it may be a bit harder to conceal since it’s going to stick out. Since most of my viewers probably aren’t suffering from severe hair loss, this is probably their 2nd best option.
4. Use a concealer to hide your hair transplant (esp. the redness). Nowadays, there are a lot of good products that can be used to conceal your hair transplant. A good product to use is Dermatch. Dermatch is a powdered formula that contains botanical ingredients and can be used after the scabs have come off. The company claims that it does not block the hair follicles when used. It comes in 8 bendable colors and can match your surrounding hair. However, always consult with your hair transplant doctor before using any type of cosmetic products after your procedure.
