This question, from a member of our [tag]hair loss[/tag] social community and discussion forums, was answered by a staff physician from Coalition hair transplant clinic Shapiro Medical:
I ride a road bike about 10 hours a week, and am going for [tag]hair restoration[/tag] surgery on 12/10. How long will I have to wait before I can wear a helmet and not worry about damaging the grafts or their survival & growth rate? And not disturb the closure (going follicular unit strip surgery)?
I usually will ride 5+ hours at a time on a Saturday or Sunday. I was told 2 weeks by [tag]hair transplant[/tag] surgeon’s office. Just want to make sure. I really don’t want to stay off much longer than that, as I am a competitive racer and a month off of training is a huge loss.
Having said that, wearing a hard hat or helmet that will cause much friction and/or pressure on the newly grafted area is not always a good idea. A short amount of time is fine, but hours of rubbing on the healed scalp could result in irritation/infection of the area.
A solution to this problem for a bike helmet is to possibly wear a skull cap or bandana over the grafted area followed by the helmet. This will reduce any amount of friction over the area. With regards to the hard hat it is a good idea to make sure none of the straps are directly putting pressure on the newly grafted areas.
