After getting head stitches, it's generally recommended to keep the area dry for the first 24 to 48 hours to promote proper healing and prevent infection. After this initial period, you can usually wash your hair gently, but it's best to avoid submerging the area in water, such as Swimming Pools or hot tubs, until the stitches are removed. Always follow your healthcare provider's specific advice regarding care for your stitches.
