when is it considered safe to comb the hair, even if there might be some inadvertent contact between the comb and scalp

Following an FUE procedure, when is it considered safe to comb the hair, even if there might be some inadvertent contact between the comb and the scalp? It has been 15 days since my last FUE procedure, and I'm eager to begin combing my hair. However, I want to be cautious around the graft sites. I won't be rough with the comb or scratch my scalp, but I'd like to style my hair properly rather than just using it to tease the longest hairs. Is it safe to do so at this point, considering that the procedure went well and things seem to be healing properly? Thank you for your guidance!

Hello, Thank you for your question. Once all the scabs will be gone, usually takes 10-14 days, you can comb your hair, but be gentle.
