When to wear a cap after a hair transplant? đ A question to take seriously
After a hair transplant, one of the first instincts is often to want to conceal the treated areas. But is it really a good idea to go out wearing a cap? When is it possible without risking damage to the newly implanted grafts? And above all, how can you wear it safely, stylishly, and with protection? Here is the complete Ayoun guide to understanding everything and adopting the right practices after your transplant.
đ§ Why is it important to be careful after a hair transplant?
A hair transplant is a surgical procedure that involves implanting hair follicles into balding areas. These follicles are very fragile in the first few days: if mishandled, they may not anchor properly or may even fall out. The scalp, meanwhile, is raw and sensitive to bacteria, friction, and the sun.
In other words: wearing a cap is not prohibited , but it must be very strictly regulated .
âł From what age can you wear a cap?
Timeframes vary slightly depending on the expert, but here is a consolidated summary from reliable medical sources, including Dr. Cinik and Smile Partner :
đč The first few days: strict prohibition (0 to 7 days)
The grafts have not yet adhered to the skin
The slightest pressure or friction can dislodge them.
Even baggy caps are a no-go.
đč 7 to 14 days: extreme precautions
If you absolutely must wear a cap, choose an extra-large model with a wide band and breathable material.
Ideally, use a visor instead , like this Ayoun model , which protects without coming into contact with the grafts.
đč From 15 days: resumption possible, in moderation
The grafts are beginning to take root.
Opt for models like the Ayoun baseball cap , made of soft cotton
Only wear the cap for short periods and never in intense heat.
đč After 1 month: you are free⊠but cautious
You can alternate between Ayoun bucket hats , golf caps with drawstrings , or stylish visors like this one.
Be sure to clean your headwear regularly to avoid bacteria.
đŻ Which cap should I choose after a hair transplant?
â The right criteria to respect:
Breathable fabric (cotton, as in the Ayoun models, is ideal)
Flexibility : the fabric should conform to the body without constricting it.
No seams inside that could rub against the grafts
Wide band or adjustable system to avoid any pressure
đĄ Our Ayoun model suggestions:
"Askut" cap: double embroidery, loose fit
Lightweight and black, for understated looks.
đ Wear a cap, but not just any old way
Even after the first month, certain bad habits can hinder regrowth:
â Wearing a cap 24/7: the scalp needs to breathe
â Letting sweat circulate under the cap without washing it: beware of bacteria
â Choosing a stiff or too tight cap

đĄ Why a cap becomes your ally after a transplant
When chosen well, a cap protects against UV rays, pollution, and the stares of others. It's a psychological cocoon that helps restore confidence.
The Ayoun brand, with its models like the Ayoun Eye bucket hat or the lightweight white visor , was specifically designed to combine protection and style .
đż Bonus: The placebo effect & positive vibes
Researchers like Dr. Emoto have demonstrated the impact of intentions on water. Our bodies are composed of over 70% water. Simply believing in the protection offered by your cap, and associating it with a powerful message (like "Mafi Sorry" embroidered on it), enhances your well-being and healing.
