Immediate Post-transplant Care Guidelines
The first few days after undergoing hair transplant surgery are very critical for healing. Some basic Islamic guidelines for hair care to be followed are:
- Do Not Touch The Grafted Area:– Do not scratch or rub the scalp even with the occurrence of itching because this may dislodge some grafts.
- Sleep With Head Elevated; this will reduce swelling in the transplant area.
- Proper Use Of Prescribed Medications: use as directed by the clinic to control pain, and infection, and promote healing.
Correct intervention ensures that advanced FUE produces optimal results but has reduced recuperation time.

Wudu and Ghusl Considerations After Hair Transplant
Wudu and Ghusl are essential religious practices for Muslim patients that could also be modified during post-operative management of hair transplants. Guidelines for safe wudu and hair transplant recovery:
1) Dry Ablution (Tayammum): If injuring the grafts or spilling water on our scalp would be harmful, Tayammum is a relief replacement when needed.
2) Avoiding the Grafted Area: Wudu can be performed without really touching the graft.
Temporary Allowances in Islamic Practices
Islam allows some temporary concessions in religious practices. This is because the religion emphasizes health preservation. However, when such actions threaten to heal, temporary exemption encourages the patient to resume the full practice once the patient has healed.
Timeline for Resuming Normal Practices
Most patients resume Wudu and Ghusl at about 10-14 days post-op, depending on healing progress and guidance by their surgeon.
Wearing a Hijab or Cap Post-transplant
For Muslim women who wear the hijab, as well as men who usually wear caps, such discomfort raises concerns about whether the grafts can heal properly while still complying with religious or cultural practices.
- Avoid Tight Headwear: For the first week, avoid wearing anything that applies pressure to the grafted area.
- Use Loose Hijabs or Caps: Using loosely draped hijabs or caps made from soft, breathable materials will help avoid irritation.
- Consult Your Surgeon: Follow specific recommendations about when it’s safe to wear regular head coverings.
