Hair is a living part of your body, and it needs care not only from the outside but also from within. External care includes washing with only organic products (shampoos and conditioners free of sulfates, parabens, and silicones) and regularly changing towels. Internal care, however, requires even more responsibility.
After a hair transplant, both the hair and scalp tissues need additional support to stabilize the body and accelerate hair growth. It’s important not only to take vitamins, but also to maintain a healthy diet.
The basic vitamin complex we recommend to our patients includes biotin, vitamin D, iron, and zinc — essential for recovery, skin and follicle regeneration, and strengthening the hair roots after surgery.
Equally important is nutrition, especially in the first month. Your diet should be rich in:
• Proteins: eggs, chicken, fish, cottage cheese;
• Healthy fats: olive oil, nuts, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds;
• Vegetables and greens: carrots, bell peppers, arugula, dill, parsley, broccoli.
This combination nourishes the scalp and hair, improves graft survival, and stimulates growth.
We strongly advise avoiding alcohol, carbonated drinks, and fast food during the first month — these are red flags for your newly transplanted hair.
One of the most common questions we get: Should I use minoxidil and when?
Our answer is: no, especially not within the first two months after the procedure. Minoxidil can irritate the scalp, delay healing, and even trigger the loss of transplanted hair. It should only be used after consulting with your doctor, with a clear understanding of the necessity and risks.
Let us remind you once again — a hair transplant is not magic, but it is an opportunity to turn back time. And the final result depends not only on the doctor who created a masterpiece in just a few hours, but also on the owner of that masterpiece — on their attention, responsibility, and daily care. Only then will the results truly last.
