Undergoing a hair transplant is an important milestone in your journey towards reclaiming confidence. But achieving the best and most lasting results depends greatly on how you care for your hair post-surgery. This detailed guide is specially curated for Indian patients, with expert input from KERA.

About Kera Hair Clinic

KERA, is known for its state-of-the-art hair transplant procedures, personalised care, and highly experienced medical team. With a deep understanding of the unique hair types and climatic conditions. We offer tailored treatment plans that go beyond surgery to include post-operative support and long-term care.

At KERA, the goal is not just to help you grow hair — but to ensure that your hair remains thick, healthy, and natural-looking for years to come.

1. Follow Post-Operative Instructions Carefully

Your post-transplant journey begins the moment you leave the clinic. Adhering to your surgeon’s instructions during the first few weeks is critical.

Do’s:

• Take prescribed medications like antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs on time.
• Sleep with your head elevated to reduce swelling.
• Use only the shampoo and topical solutions recommended by your doctor.

Don’ts:

• Don’t touch, scratch, or pick at your scalp.
• Avoid washing your hair for at least 48 hours.
• Don’t expose your scalp to dust, sunlight, or pollution.

2. Scalp Hygiene: Clean, But Gentle

Maintaining a clean scalp prevents infections and supports healing, but aggressive washing can damage grafts.

• Start gentle washing as per your surgeon’s advice, typically after 2–3 days.
• Use lukewarm water and a sulfate-free shampoo.
• Pat dry your hair gently — no rubbing or vigorous drying.

3. Nutrition: Fuel for Healthy Hair Growth

What you eat post-surgery has a direct impact on the health of your hair follicles.

• Proteins: Eggs, chicken, fish, legumes.
• Iron: Spinach, lentils, beets.
• Biotin & Zinc: Nuts, seeds, whole grains.
• Omega-3 fatty acids: Flax seeds, walnuts.
• Hydration: Aim for 2–3 litres of water daily.

4. Avoid Smoking and Alcohol

Both smoking and alcohol restrict blood circulation, delaying the healing process and harming new follicles. Avoid them completely for at least a month post-transplant.

5. Stress Management

Stress is a leading cause of hair loss. To maintain the results of your hair transplant, practice daily stress-reducing techniques:

• Yoga
• Meditation
• Deep-breathing exercises
• Listening to calming music

6. Limit Sun Exposure

Your scalp remains sensitive after surgery. Direct sun exposure can cause burns and hinder healing.

• Avoid going out in peak sun hours (10 am to 4 pm).
• Use a wide-brimmed hat if you need to step out.
• Apply SPF (only after consulting your doctor).

7. Scalp Massage and Stimulation

After 4–6 weeks, gentle scalp massages may improve blood flow and enhance hair growth. Consult KERA before starting any massage routine.

8. Use Only Approved Hair Products

Avoid harsh shampoos, gels, sprays, and chemical-based treatments. KERA recommends specific post-transplant care products suitable for Indian hair textures and weather conditions.

9. Regular Check-Ups at Kera Hair Clinic

Periodic follow-ups help assess progress and catch any issues early. We provide detailed progress evaluations, PRP therapy options, and advanced treatment boosters if required.

10. Be Patient and Consistent

Hair growth is a gradual process. New hair may take 4–6 months to appear, with full results visible by 12–18 months. Trust the process and stay consistent with your care routine.
