It is generally not recommended to cut or shave the hair in the donor area very short after the operation. The reason for this is that it slows down hair regrowth in this area. After the hair transplant, your hair in the donor area will have a lower density as the transplanted hair was taken from this area. For this reason, it would be visible from the outside if you cut the hair in the donor area shorter than one centimeter. We therefore recommend that you do not cut your hair directly to just above the scalp after the operation.
