Hair Washing & Crust Care
Proper hair washing crust care is crucial for the success of your treatment. We show you the correct technique to gently remove crusts and protect your grafts for optimal results.
Hair Washing & Crust Care – For Optimal Results
Correct hair washing crust care is one of the most important factors for the success of your treatment. In the first weeks, the transplanted grafts are still delicate and must be looked after with the right technique to protect your new hair and promote optimal healing.
Our clinic offers a dedicated washing and crust care service. We perform the first hair washing crust care session at the clinic and show you step by step how to continue at home. You are not alone – we guide you through the entire healing phase.
Our washing service: First hair wash at the clinic, professional instruction, special shampoo and lotion, video tutorial in English, 24/7 WhatsApp support for questions.
The First Hair Wash at the Clinic
Your first hair washing crust care session takes place 24–48 hours after the procedure at our clinic. This is an important appointment during which we demonstrate the correct technique. Our care team shows you exactly how to soften and gently remove crusts.
We use warm water and special products. You see how gentle the movements need to be and which areas require extra attention. After this demonstration you are fully prepared for home care.
Step-by-Step Hair Washing Guide
- Apply lotion: special lotion on the recipient area, leave on for 30–45 minutes
- Soften: the lotion softens the crusts – never remove them dry
- Shampoo: lather mild shampoo in your hand, apply gently
- Dab: pat softly with fingertips – never rub or scratch
- Rinse: rinse carefully with lukewarm water, no direct jet
- Dry: pat gently with a soft towel – do not rub
- Repeat: daily for 10–14 days
Proper Crust Care
Crusts form as part of the natural healing process after every hair washing crust care routine. They protect the grafts during the first critical days. The goal is to remove them gently without damaging the grafts.
From day 7 you can apply slightly more pressure – gentle massage with the fingertips helps loosen the crusts. After 10–14 days all crusts should have disappeared. If any stubborn crusts remain, contact us.
- Day 1–3: dab only, do not touch crusts
- Day 4–6: gentle dabbing, crusts start to loosen
- Day 7–10: light massage allowed, crusts fall off
- Day 11–14: normal washing, all crusts should be gone
- From day 15: normal scalp care possible
Expert tip: During hair washing crust care, patience is key. Let the lotion sit long enough – at least 30 minutes. The softer the crusts, the easier they come off.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
During hair washing crust care, mistakes can compromise your results. Washing too aggressively, using water that is too hot, or scratching crusts can damage grafts. We explain exactly what you should avoid.
- Never scratch or pick at crusts
- No hot water – lukewarm only
- No direct water jet on grafts
- Do not rub when drying
- No hot-air blow-drying
- No regular shampoos in the first week
- Do not skip washing – daily is optimal
"The first wash at the clinic was incredibly helpful. I was nervous, but the nurse showed me everything step by step. With the video I could easily repeat it at home. After 10 days all the crusts were gone!"
– Stefan R., Sales Manager, 38 years old
