The hairline is one of the most important things to consider during a hair transplant. While hair transplants focus on increasing volume and to restore confidence by growing full hair, poor hairline planning can cause poor results in your hair transplant.
Shampooing should be done daily to remove the scabs. After about 7-10 days there should be no more traces of dried blood or scabs on your scalp. You may start washing your hair the normal way no sooner than 14 days after the transplant. If needed one can also wash the hair more than once a day after the operation.
Hair implants involve synthetic hair and hence can never look completely natural. A hair implant is often compared to a wig that has been fixed to your scalp. On the other hand, a hair transplant uses your own hair and hence merges with your existing hair.
Every hair transplant involves a number of steps: pre-op consultation, graft extraction and preservation, implantation and post-op care. In most cases, this entire procedure takes from 6 to 9 hours.
DHI is considered to be a better transplant procedure for a beard because of the angle the hair grafts can be inserted at. The angle of insertion helps creates a more natural beard appearance.
