How should I sleep after a hair transplant (FUE/DHI)?

You must eliminate friction. Cotton catches the healing scabs and rips out the unanchored hair follicles when you turn your head. A 100% pure silk pillowcase with strictly NO embroidery is a frictionless surface. It allows the scalp to glide, ensuring the scabs are not torn off and the grafts survive.

Hair Transplant (FUE/DHI): Why your cotton pillowcase rips out your grafts at night

Protect your grafts →

A hair transplant (FUE or DHI) is a major cosmetic investment. During the first 10 to 14 days, the newly implanted hair follicles are extremely vulnerable. They are only loosely anchored in the scalp and surrounded by small protective scabs. Sleeping on a standard cotton pillowcase during this critical phase is a severe biomechanical risk. Cotton acts as a physical extractor, destroying your surgical results while you sleep.

The Nocturnal Snagging Effect

Cotton features a porous, abrasive weave made of microscopic loops. As you naturally turn your head during sleep, these cotton loops catch onto the rough edges of your healing scabs. Instead of allowing your head to slide, the fabric grips the scab and forcefully pulls it. This mechanical traction rips the scab completely off, permanently extracting the fragile hair bulb underneath and causing bleeding. Every lost graft is a bald spot on your final result.

        "Pure mulberry silk functions as a medical-grade, zero-friction recovery surface. Its dense, smooth protein structure guarantees a completely seamless glide. Your scalp pivots effortlessly over the fabric, ensuring the scabs are never snagged or pulled, allowing the grafts to safely anchor into the dermis."
