Generally speaking, it is recommended that people with head stitches can wash their hair about 14 days after the stitches are removed, but the exact time varies from person to person. In current clinical practice, head stitches can be removed in 4~5 days, but at this time you can’t wash your hair, because the stitches have just been removed, and washing your hair at this time may cause the wound to reopen or become infected, it is generally recommended that patients wash their hair about 14 days after the sutures are closed, but the specific time varies from one group of people to another. For patients with milder conditions and good health, they can wash their hair about 14 days after suturing; however, for patients with heavier conditions and poor health, a longer interval is needed. In addition, it is not recommended to wash the hair too often after the head wound is closed, because washing the hair too often may lead to wound infection and also affect the healing of the wound.
