    Drober,

    Many clinics will inform you that once you reach 7-10 days post-op to resume normal shampooing which includes involves removing the crusts.

    At this point you should be 2 weeks post-op so yes that would involve getting your scalp under normal water pressure which will also make the crusts easier to remove.

    Congrats on your recent procedure.
