Hey everyone, I recently had a hair transplant and would love to hear what shampoos worked best for you. I’m trying to find a safe and effective shampoo —any recommendations from your experience?
Hi didy,
When it comes to shampoos after a transplant, the main goal early on is gentle cleansing without causing any irritation, especially in the first couple of months while your scalp is healing.
Most doctors recommend sticking with mild, sulfate and methylisothiazolinone-free shampoos during this time. Around the 3-month mark, once the healing phase is largely complete and new growth begins, many patients start using shampoos with active ingredients like biotin, caffeine, or ketoconazole — depending on their surgeon’s advice.
We actually have a great post on this topic (with product recs), you might find helpful:

Looking forward to hearing what others have found helpful too!
