When Are Transplanted Hairs Safe?

Hello doctor,

I had a hair transplant and I’m at month 3, I’m a little paranoid thinking about the weeks when I saw hairs falling out with the bulb on the hair shaft when I scratched my head..

That was around week 3, my question is, how long does it take until the hairs root?

Thank you this blog has been most helpful

At 7-14 days, most hair transplants will not be affected by whatever you do. If all of the scabbing is gone, you are generally safe. If you tried to pluck one or even a few out after the scabs are gone, I doubt that it will impact the graft at the root, regardless of what you see.

So at week 3 or month 3, you’re fine.
