Can I get a haircut on days 0–27?

Not yet. Not yet. Leave the grafted and donor areas alone until your clinic says the skin has healed.

Can I get a haircut on days 28–59?

Careful. A careful scissor trim away from the grafts is often OK. Show your barber the barber card so they know what to avoid. Your clinic's own advice comes first.

Can I get a haircut on from day 60?

Yes. Haircuts with scissors are usually fine now. Ask your clinic before any short clipper cut on the grafted area.

Can I get a haircut after a hair transplant?

Usually from day 60, if your clinic agrees.
