How to wash Hair after Hair Transplant?

1. First, spray Panthenol on your newly transplanted Hair. Wait for 30 to 40 minutes and let the thin layer of spray sit in. You need to use it for 15 days. However, if Panthenol is not available, you can use Bepanthol body lotion.

3. Pour some shampoo on your hand and rub it to make the foam. Use tips of your middle finger and ring finger to gently rub on the grafts in the vertical axis for a few minutes. Do not exhibit circular motion of fingers on your graft. Repeat the procedure if needed and then rinse the hair with water.
