A hair transplant is a life-changing procedure, but the journey doesn’t stop after surgery. Damaged grafts can lead to hair loss, delaying your results. The good news? With the right care—including Watermans Grow More Elixir and Grow Me Shampoo—you can boost recovery and prevent graft fallout.

Why Do Hair Transplant Grafts Get Damaged?

Hair grafts are delicate, especially in the first few weeks post-surgery. Damage can occur due to:

• Touching or Scratching: Newly implanted grafts need time to settle, and excessive touching can dislodge them.
• Sleeping Position: Rubbing against the pillow can disturb grafts, especially in the first 7–10 days.
• Poor Post-Op Care: Not following aftercare instructions can slow healing and increase the risk of infection.
• Inadequate Nutrition: Your hair needs the right vitamins and minerals to thrive.
• Using Harsh Products: Regular shampoos with sulfates and parabens can irritate the scalp and weaken grafts.

How to Prevent Graft Damage and Hair Loss

Taking care of your grafts properly ensures better results. Here’s how:

1. Use Watermans Grow Me Shampoo

Regular shampoos can strip your scalp of essential oils and irritate the healing area. Watermans Grow Me Shampoo is packed with biotin, caffeine, and rosemary, which support scalp health and encourage new growth.

2. Boost Recovery with Grow More Elixir

This leave-in scalp treatment increases blood circulation and strengthens hair follicles. It’s designed for post-transplant care, making it ideal for maintaining new grafts.

3. Sleep Smart

Use a neck pillow to avoid direct pressure on your grafts. Sleeping on your back with an elevated head also helps reduce swelling.

4. Stay Hydrated & Eat Right

Nutrition plays a big role in hair regrowth. Load up on protein, vitamins (especially B vitamins), and iron-rich foods.

5. Avoid Heat & Chemicals

Skip heat styling, dyes, and harsh treatments for at least a few months post-surgery.
