At Ultra Scalp Ink, we always provide our clients with after care instructions. Our clients must adhere to these rules to ensure the best, long term results
First 4 Days
1. Do Not Wash or shave your head and protect from rain for 4 days. Straight after each treatment session, you want to keep your scalp dry for up to four days. You may experience a bit of redness. You may experience a bit of an itchy scalp. This is normal and it will subside after a few days. Also, if you prefer, you can wear a hat during this process. Just make sure it’s breathable, soft, loose and comfortable so it’s not going to irritate your skin while it is healing.
2. Avoid going to the gym for the first 4 days. Avoid excessive sweating. Stay away from any saunas, steam rooms, things that may cause excessive sweating. We recommend four days, but this can be flexible depending on how you feel. You may continue with the gym after four days if you can refrain from excessive sweating. If you do overly sweat, then just get a piece of kitchen roll and just blot away the sweat which should dry out nicely.
3. After two days, you can start to moisturise again. This will really help the healing process.
Day 5 And After
1. Day 5, wash head with just warm water twice daily. You can not do this in a shower and do not soak your head in a bath. Our suggestion is to use a basin tap as you need to just splash water on.
2. After 4 days, you can sweat, but not excessively. After 10 days, you can sweat excessively.
3. Day 5, use fragrance free moisturiser on the scalp 3 times a day until your next appointment. As the pigment heals under the skin, little tiny scabs may form. Moisturiser helps the scalp heal and helps both myself, the practitioner, and you the client as it makes the scalp soft so the treatment goes in easier and the less pain for the client.
4. Protect your head from the sun whilst having treatment and use sun factor 50 after 10 days.
5. Protect from sun for 10 days
6. No swimming / hot tubs for 30 days after treatments. This is due to the high chlorine level that could possibly affect the colour.
7. Do not use any self-tanner or irritants for first 7 days
8. If you just had a density fill and not the buzzcut, you can cut your hair again after day five with clippers or a foil shaver (especially if you have long hair), whichever is your preferred choice. Just be gentle on the scalp until after the 10 day period. From day 10 after any of your treatments, your scalp is pretty much healed.
Day 7 And After
Continue to apply SPF 50 daily. This will stop any excessive fading that may result from direct sunlight onto your scalp.
