Daily Eyebrows Washing
After 48 hours, you can start daily washing. Fill a spray container with water and a little of baby shampoo. Then spray the solution on the eyebrows in the direction of the eyebrow hair. Pay attention to the direction of the hair strands in every part of the eyebrow. The front part is downward, the arc is toward the tail, and the tail is upward. After spraying the solution, leave it there for 3 minutes and then spray warm water on the eyebrows. You need to wash your transplanted eyebrows 3 days a day. Remember that that you can not pour water on your face for 2 weeks.
Why Scaling and Clots?
Scaling or clots show that daily washing is not done right. Minor wounds and clots make the transplanted eyebrow strands to fall out. In case of having wounds and scaling, increase the number of daily washing. If the extent of scaling and depth of the wounds is large, take a wet warm sterilized gas and put it on the eyebrows for 5 minutes and spray water on it. Do this for an hour to remove the wounds and scaling.
