It is generally not a good idea. Our hair harbors all sorts of bacteria and picks up more from the air -- especially in hospitals. It is easy to transfer them to the wound by washing with water. Water can also interrupt the healing.
Sponge around them with a clean cloth moistened with alcohol or an antibacterial solution, being careful not to disturb the scabs that have formed. If you feel you must wash, consult your physician for advice on wound care.
