Best shampoo after hair transplant: ingredients to use and avoid, the LOREW Paris protocol and when to return to normal shampoo. Hairmedico Istanbul 2026.
The LOREW Paris protocol at Hairmedico
Every Hairmedico patient receives the LOREW Paris post-transplant aftercare kit including a specialised post-operative shampoo: gentle enough not to disrupt graft anchoring, effective enough to prevent infection and crust buildup, pH-balanced to support the healing scalp environment. Used for Days 2–14 as the standard washing product.
Ingredients to avoid in the first 6 weeks
Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS): Harsh surfactant in most standard shampoos. Causes scalp irritation compromising the healing environment in the first 2 weeks.
Zinc Pyrithione: Anti-dandruff shampoo active ingredient. Avoid for 4–6 weeks.
Salicylic Acid: Too aggressive for healing scalp. Avoid for 4 weeks.
When to return to normal shampoo
Day 15+: mild SLS-free shampoo. Week 6+: any mild standard shampoo. Month 3+: any shampoo including anti-dandruff or medicated as needed. The transplanted hair can be washed and treated like natural hair from month 3.
