After a FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) procedure, the first hair wash is usually performed 48 hours after the operation. This step is vital to soften scabs, reduce the risk of infection, and begin the healing process.
Use Folliactiv Foam Shampoo – a gentle, pH 5.5 foam shampoo that is free of alcohol, perfume, and parabens.
Apply the foam with light touches using your fingertips — no rubbing or pressure.
Leave the foam on the scalp for 5–10 minutes.
Rinse with lukewarm water using minimal water pressure.
For a step-by-step guide, visit our first wash after hair transplant page.
Male patients typically have transplants in the hairline and crown areas, where scabbing can be more noticeable due to shorter hair.
Allow the foam shampoo to sit long enough to soften scabs naturally.
Apply an antibacterial cream to the donor area (usually the back of the scalp) as advised by your doctor to support healing and prevent infection.
Find more recovery tips in our hair transplant post-op care guide.
FUE procedures for women are often performed without shaving the head, requiring extra care during washing.
Gently part the hair to reach the implanted areas.
Apply foam shampoo carefully and rinse while keeping the head upright.
If using a hair dryer, choose low heat and maintain distance from the scalp.
For personalized care instructions, see our female hair transplant care guide.
With the DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) method, hair follicles are implanted directly using a special implanter pen. Since it’s often performed without shaving, the implanted area is more delicate and needs gentle handling.
Foam shampoo should be applied by carefully parting the hair.
Rinse gently, avoiding strong water pressure or direct contact.
For patients with long hair, it’s often best to have the first wash done by a professional at the clinic.

Shampoo After Hair Transplant
Post-operative care is just as important as the hair transplant procedure itself. Proper washing techniques, product selection, and consistent care are crucial for healthy follicle growth, fast recovery, and achieving natural-looking, long-lasting results.
At Hairmedico, we offer a carefully designed aftercare protocol recommended by our medical team. This comprehensive guide outlines the entire process of washing and maintaining your scalp after FUE or DHI hair transplant — with tailored tips for both male and female patients.

By day 15, the scalp has significantly healed, and it’s time to enhance recovery and stimulate healthy hair growth with targeted products.
Implanted & donor areas: After washing and rinsing, spray Folliactiv Serum 4 times over the scalp, once per day. It hydrates the skin and strengthens hair follicles.
Donor area: Apply Folliactiv Lotion to relieve itchiness and accelerate tissue repair.
This added step improves comfort and supports long-term results.
Once the first month is complete, the scalp has recovered enough to begin a more regular hair care routine.
You can now use Folliactiv Anti Hair Loss Shampoo for daily or every-other-day use.
It helps prevent hair shedding, nourishes the roots, and supports healthy regrowth.
This shampoo is ideal for maintaining the health of your newly transplanted hair.
Post-transplant recovery isn’t just about topical care — internal support is just as essential. We recommend taking Folliactiv Hair Vitamins daily, starting right after your procedure.
Each capsule is packed with biotin, zinc, B-complex vitamins, and antioxidants.
These ingredients promote stronger roots, faster growth, and shinier, healthier hair.
