After hair transplant the hair follicles will take some time to get fix in the scalp skin. The skin of the scalp will be sensitive and vulnerable to cuts and infections after surgery for sometime. So, it is always advisable to wait till all the healing is done. This may take around 6-8 weeks. One may not like to shave if one has undergone FUT hair transplant as it may reveal the linear scar of the donor area.
