Hair Wash and Hair Style
Donts

• Try not to wash your head for one day following
  the procedure. If you do, make sure it is very
  lightly with cold water only or just wet the top
  of your scalp to keep it clean. Be careful
  because even this can cause swelling around your
  transplanted area and may cut off oxygen from
  getting to freshly implanted hair follicles
  causing them to die. This is also true if you get
  in an accident and there is potential damage to
  your grafts as well.
• Do not use any type of lotion on the scalp
  before two weeks have passed after surgery.
• Avoid using shampoos or products with chemicals
  or harmful agent.

Do

• After one month, it's safe to wash your hair
  with shampoo as long as you do so gently and
  carefully. Given that many people use the same
  brushes or combs on their scalp daily for
  styling, try to alternate between two different
  brushes or combs when possible. That will give
  your scalp some time to heal and avoid any
  potential infections from bacteria that may be
  present on either object. 
• Use a medicated hair wash as suggested by your
  surgeon every time you shampoo.
• As far as styling your hair after a transplant
  goes, make sure to avoid hot tools such as
  straighteners. Only use products that are
  designed for thinning hair in order to help
  maintain a natural appearance over time. 
• Wait at least one month before changing your
  hair style drastically and if you have bangs, do
  not get them cut until after three months have
  passed.

Physical Activities
Donts

• Play any sports involving helmets, bikes or
  skateboards for two weeks.
• Avoid any other activities that may cause trauma
  or injury to your head for a while. This includes
  things like working out with weights, yoga or
  even laughing too hard. If you notice swelling on
  the side of your scalp where you just had surgery
  performed (typically at the hairline) do not
  massage it by yourself as this can rupture the
  blood vessels and cause unnecessary bleeding or
  infection. Be sure to communicate with your
  doctor if you're experiencing these significant
  symptoms so they can treat them immediately.

Do

• Take short breaks between your activities to
  avoid excessive sweating. Sweat can lead to
  formation of bacteria, and you wouldn't want that.

General Guidelines After a Hair Transplant

• Some surgeons recommend using an ice pack to
  reduce swelling in the first few hours following
  surgery, but this is not necessarily a hard rule.
• Stay positive and relaxed at all times during
  your procedure. This will help you get better
  results as well as keep you from worrying
  excessively about any postoperative issues.
• Do not eat a heavy meal or drink alcohol the
  night before your surgery.
• Do not be surprised if your doctor orders an MRI
  to ensure that there is no bleeding or swelling
  on or around the grafts before they send you home
  from the surgery centre.
