How to Wash Hair After Transplant: The Safe & Gentle Method

Washing your hair after a transplant is one of the most critical steps to ensure graft survival and avoid complications. At EASESTHETIC, we provide a gentle, non-contact washing protocol supported by medical-grade products and digital video guidance.

Why Washing Matters

The goal of post-transplant washing is to:
• Keep the scalp clean without disturbing the grafts
• Prevent infection and crust buildup
• Soothe the scalp and aid natural healing

Step-by-Step Washing Guide (Days 2–7):

1. Foam Application (Panthenol-Based Lotion Spray)
Spray the provided panthenol foam onto your entire scalp—covering both the donor area (back of the head) and the recipient area (top/front). Create a “snowball” effect by ensuring the scalp is fully foamed, but without rubbing or pressing.

2. Wait 20–25 Minutes
Let the foam sit and work its way into the skin. This softens scabs, moisturizes the scalp, and begins lifting dirt gently from between grafts.

3. Gentle Rinse – No Pressure, No Friction
Lean your head slightly backward and begin pouring lukewarm water slowly over your scalp. Let gravity do the work. Do not use direct spray, shower pressure, or rubbing motions. The foam will dissolve and flow away naturally.

Important Warnings:
• Do NOT touch, scrub, or brush your scalp under any circumstances.
• Avoid shampoo unless medically approved (usually starts Day 3 onward).
• Use only the provided care kit (foam and shampoo) for best results.
• Rinse thoroughly but gently—no residue should remain.
• After rinsing, pat dry the surrounding areas, but leave the transplanted zone to air dry naturally.

Video Support

We send a custom washing instruction video to every patient on Day 2. This ensures you’re confident performing the wash at home. On Day 7, you’ll receive a second video for safe scab removal washing, which completes the cleansing cycle.
