BaldAndBold Posted Friday at 07:50 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:50 PM Hi. Just had my surgery and the post operation doc states no hair fixers (such as lacquers, waxes, etc.) for 4 months. That's a long time. I work in a professional envirment and can't roll around with no product looking like I don't take care of myself. I have plenty of hair without the transplant that I used to style so I would say 1-2 months in I will need to start using some product. I was told natural things are ok like coconut oil but I don't see how that fixes hair in place. What are my options? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member SuperHans Posted Friday at 08:43 PM Regular Member Share Posted Friday at 08:43 PM If that's what your surgeon has said I would follow their lead. Personally I'd wait until the 2 month mark when you would want to start using product, shave it down again and then when you're back there, hopefully crawling out of the ugly duckling phase you can start using product at month 4 as you've been advised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member AGL77 Posted Saturday at 02:09 AM Senior Member Share Posted Saturday at 02:09 AM May be able to try aloe Vera as a gel, sea salt spray and I had just used saline spray for a little while after the first 10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Shadman Posted Sunday at 06:44 AM Senior Member Share Posted Sunday at 06:44 AM @BaldAndBold in my opinion, you should at least wait till month 2 before you start using those products.

BaldAndBold Posted Sunday at 07:43 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 07:43 PM Well, I'm not looking to go against what the Dr. ordered. Rather, I'm looking for what can be done to style your hair with "natural" remedies. I imagine other people have been in my shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member gillenator Posted Monday at 07:42 PM Senior Member Share Posted Monday at 07:42 PM A high quality aloe Vera gel is really the best alternative, still, you will want to get your doctor’s approval on using this…just make sure it does not have any other additives, just pure aloe Vera gel.

Regular Member cdalee440 Posted 22 hours ago Regular Member Share Posted 22 hours ago I am not sure if this helps but ever since I started using topical minoxidil foam I don't even use a hair gel. For me the foam seems to hold my hair in place. And since I am already using it, viola. I just hope Im not using it incorrectly. wash hair, lightly towel dry then air dry followed by 2-3 minutes of massaged in min then a brush or just my fingers. Im an engineer and like the OP I work in a professional environment (sort of) and need to look respectable. Just my thoughts and opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
