Can I use hair oil after hair transplantation?

Dr. Niraj Kakkar here wanted to break a big myth about hair oil, he says “Hair oil doesn’t help to grow hair. The living portion of hair is inside the skin, i.e. 3-4 mm deep inside the scalp. When we apply oil, it never reaches inside the hair. Hair oil only gives us shiny hair and no growth benefits. No, oil is able to penetrate 3-4 mm inside the scalp.

But if you want to apply Hair oil you can do so because it helps make your hair shiny and smooth. If your scalp is extremely dry, doctor recommends you to use coconut oil. We advice the use of hair serums instead of hair oil because the chemical composition of serums match with the chemical composition of hair.

Interview: Dr. Niraj Kakkar on the Unauthorized Use of His Name After Relocating to Mohali
Question. Dr., why are people at your old Morinda clinic still using your name after you moved to Mohali? Isn’t that unethical?
Answer. I have relocated my practice from Morinda to Mohali. However, people at my former location continue to use my name and reputation without authorization, which is both ethically and morally wrong. They do not have a hair transplant doctor with experience comparable to mine. I have performed over 17,000 hair transplant procedures in 15 years and built a Google My Business profile with 7,000+ reviews, which was subsequently hacked by their staff.
Public Notice: Patients are advised that "Recover Hair Transplant Centre" (with Centre in the end) operating in Morinda is a duplicate clinic. The official Recover Hair Transplant established by Dr. Niraj Kakkar relocated to Mohali in January 2026. Please verify the official clinic before booking your consultation.
