    Default Using mascara on hair after hair transplant?

    Hey there, I'm on day 13 post HT and my grafts have started to fall out. All good, sooner they fall out, the sooner they come back!

    I also have a bit of shockloss of native hairs. I tried Toppik over my recipient area today to conceal the loss and it just doesn't look right (my hair is a grade 3 so maybe too short). My girlfriend suggested using mascara and I tried it and it looked fantastic! I only put it on the hairs and I don't let it touch the scalp.

    Am I safe to use mascara? Will it ruin the chances of my transplanted hair growing back?

    Thunder,

    At this point in time, your recipient area should be completely healed and free from crusting/scabbing right?

    As long as there are no open or unhealed wounds/incision sites, the mascara IMHO won't hurt your new grafts.

    Congrats on your recent procedure!
