4. Don’t Smoke/Drink For At Least A Month After Surgery Aside from the negatives associated with these activities in general, if you just had your hair transplant surgery done, it is very important that you avoid any smoking or drinking for at least one month. The reason for this is because alcohol might thin your blood and cause bleeding. This in turn does not help you heal, and can even bring complications with it. It is best to avoid alcohol for at least three days after surgery. The same with nicotine, except smoking should be avoided for a whole month instead. Nicotine tends to interrupt and prevent blood flow to hair follicles, which are crucial for the growth of your new hair.

1. Give Thin Hair A Boost With Silicone Silicones are basically a group of ingredients that act as a raincoat for one’s hair or skin. Products with silicone will often lock out any humidity and leave one’s hair slick and smooth. While some conditioners can leave your hair feeling heavy and limp, products with silicone will give your hair a fuller appearance, hence why many swear by it. It is important to note that since most silicone products are not water-soluble, it can lead to some pretty annoying build-up over time. Thus, it’s probably best to find the “good” ones that are water-soluble.

2. Shower With Lukewarm Water To Protect Shine Though hot water is great for opening up pores thus allowing for a deep clean, it can also dry out your hair and cause it to become brittle. That doesn’t necessarily mean you have to freeze in the shower however. Instead, try to shower with lukewarm water that isn’t overbearingly hot. Washing your hair in hot water has its pros and cons. But, hot water doesn’t damage the internal protein structure of your hair. A simple rule to follow is to shower and shampoo with warm water, and then use cold water to wash your hair after conditioning.

3. Use The Right Product For Dandruff Dandruff is a skin condition that mainly affects the scalp. Symptoms include flaking and sometimes mild itchiness. It can result in social or self-esteem problems. A more severe form of the condition, which includes inflammation of the skin, is known as seborrhoeic dermatitis. While there are oil products out there that supposedly treat this skin disorder, medicated shampoos are the best way to tackle dandruff. Keep in mind, it can take about a few weeks for dandruff to disappear. So be sure to not switch shampoos too soon. It’s safe to say to try each one for at least a month to see if anything changes.

Things To Know When Considering A Hair Transplant 1. Your Age Age is an important factor when it comes to deciding whether or not you should have a hair transplant at the moment. The reason for this is because depending on your specific hair loss pattern, a hair transplant at a young age can actually do more harm than good. For the most part, it isn't until about 25 years old that a person's hair loss pattern can be predicted. Having a transplant below this age, and before this pattern has set in, can be very risky. Having such a procedure at a young age can result in an unnatural result when you are older.

Things To Know When Considering A Hair Transplant 2. Your Expectations Many patients go into a hair transplant procedure expecting immediate and unrealistic results. This mainly occurs when they are not well-educated on the process or the doctor they go to has not given full transparency on the process. That is why understanding the post-transplant process is imperative to making your decision on whether or not to have a transplant. If one is expecting a full head of hair to appear and for all their external issues to go away after the procedure, then it is best to suggest away from a procedure. Even after the procedure, it will take about 6 months to see the new hairs really come out. It will be about a year until you fully can see the result of the procedure.

Things To Know When Considering A Hair Transplant 3. Have You Seen Your Doctor’s Past Work The importance of this tip goes without saying. Just like any other cosmetic procedure, knowing a doctor’s past results is a good indication on how your procedure could come out. If the results are positive and contain good reviews then you can be a bit less worried about your procedure. If there are plenty of negative reviews and un-impressive results, it is probably best to keep searching for the right doctor. These results are usually available to see on their website, but if they aren’t then it’s best to be sure you see them when you go for a consultation.

Things To Know When Considering A Hair Transplant 4. Does Your Doctor Specialize In Hair Restoration? This seems like it’d be an obvious note, but it can be overlooked a lot nowadays since any doctor can get a hair transplant machine/equipment. In other words, no matter what field of study a doctor specializes in, they are still able to get the equipment necessary to perform a hair transplant. This would explain why many hair transplant services have recently popped up out of nowhere. Such a procedure should be performed by doctors/surgeons who solely specialize in this field rather than be performed by doctors as a side service. Though this procedure may not be as invasive as other surgeries, it still is a medical procedure that requires a team of highly skilled technicians to assist a well-trained surgeon.
