How to Stabilize the Final Result of Hair Transplantation
The secret to the durability, beauty, and real density of transplanted hair
Hair transplantation is not the end of hair loss, but the beginning of a new care path! Many people think the job is done after the transplant, but the truth is that transplanted hair requires long-term care to stabilize, grow healthy, and last longer. In this article, we will review all the points you need to know to maintain the excellent result of hair transplantation in Shiraz, Iran, completely and practically.
1. Patience and realism: Final results take time
The growth of transplanted hair is a gradual process. In most people:
- First month: Temporary loss of transplanted hair (shedding phenomenon) is normal.
- Months 3 to 6: Slow growth and beginning of follicle formation
- Months 6 to 12: Increased density and clarity of results
- After 12 months: Final consolidation, formation of the hairline, and overall density
Therefore: be patient and avoid premature evaluation.
2. Healthy nutrition to strengthen the roots
Hair is nourished from within. To strengthen the follicles and consolidate the results:
- Adequate protein intake (eggs, fish, dairy products)
- Biotin, zinc, vitamin D and E supplements (in consultation with a doctor)
- Drinking enough water (at least 8 glasses a day)
- Avoid strict diets or complete elimination of food groups
3. Regular use of strengthening drugs and solutions
After hair transplantation in Iran, some drugs are recommended to prevent re-loss and stimulate hair growth:
- Minoxidil: Stimulates hair growth and increases blood flow
- Finasteride: Inhibits hereditary hair loss (in men)
- Shampoos for transplanted hair: sulfate-free, pH-appropriate, mild, and containing strengthening ingredients
Note: The use of these drugs must be prescribed and supervised by a doctor.
4. Taking care of the scalp against damage
To protect transplanted hair:
- Avoid direct blows to the head (such as a heavy helmet or a rough pillow)
- Do not use excessive heat (hair dryer, hair straightener, hot bath)
- Use a hat and sunscreen specifically for the scalp against the sun
- Very gentle head massage to increase blood flow (with the doctor’s advice)
5. Avoid stressors and a healthy lifestyle
Stress, lack of sleep, and an unhealthy lifestyle can jeopardize the results of hair transplantation in Shiraz.
- Adequate sleep (7–8 hours per day)
- Avoid mental stress, use relaxation techniques
- Quit smoking and reduce alcohol consumption
- Regular exercise (without head trauma)
6. Periodic strengthening treatments (if needed)
To maintain the density and increase the health of transplanted hair, clinical treatments are also effective:
- PRP: Platelet-rich plasma injection to strengthen the roots
- Hair mesotherapy: Providing the vitamins and minerals needed by the follicles
- Low-level laser (LLLT): Stimulating growth and blood circulation with light therapy
Recommendation: These treatments are usually performed at intervals of 4 to 8 weeks and are not necessary for many people, but they are useful.
7. Periodic check-ups and ongoing communication with your doctor
A key point for the long-term success of hair transplantation in Shiraz is to follow up with a specialist doctor:
- Check-ups at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after transplantation
- Checking the health of the scalp and hair density
- Setting a care plan based on individual needs
- Responding to possible concerns
8. Modifying daily hygiene habits
Maintaining hair and scalp hygiene is one of the pillars of long-term care after hair transplantation. Habits that were previously suitable for natural hair may be harmful to transplanted hair. Therefore, it is necessary to:
- Use a wide-toothed and soft comb.
- Comb your hair gently only when it is dry or semi-dry.
- Never scratch the scalp with your nails or apply too much pressure.
- After swimming or sweating heavily, wash your scalp quickly so that salt and chemicals do not cause irritation.
9. Choosing the right care products for your transplanted hair
A common mistake after hair transplantation in Shiraz is using shampoos or masks that are formulated for normal or oily hair. These products may change the pH of the scalp or stimulate new follicles. Solutions:
- Use shampoos specifically for sensitive skin or transplanted hair
- Avoid products containing alcohol, parabens, sulfates, and strong fragrances
- Limit the use of styling sprays or gels for the first 6 months
10. Recognize the difference in growth between different transplanted areas
Sometimes, patients are concerned that some areas grow faster or thicker than others. While this is completely normal:
- The follicles in different areas may be in different growth phases.
- This discrepancy usually resolves on its own within 6 to 9 months.
- Gentle massage with light oils (such as rosemary or argan oil) can help with even growth (with the doctor’s advice).
11. Avoid styling transplanted hair in the early months
It is not recommended to use hair dye, bleach, keratin or any chemical cosmetic products on transplanted hair for several months:
- Avoid any chemical dyes or straighteners for at least 6 months after transplantation.
- Use ammonia-free dyes only with the doctor’s approval.
- Use natural methods such as light brushing to style your hair.
12. Tips for travel, climate, and special conditions
If you plan to travel to areas with special climates after a hair transplant in Shiraz, care should be adjusted accordingly:
- In hot and sunny areas, use a soft, UV-resistant hat to protect the scalp.
- In cold and dry areas, use a special scalp moisturizer.
- On long trips, it is important to carry special shampoos and personal hygiene items.
Summary: The hair you transplant needs maintenance!
Hair transplantation is a big investment in your appearance and self-confidence, but without long-term care, this investment will not achieve the desired results.
