How long before I can switch to Hooked Earrings?

I got my ears pierced during the first week of August, and have been wearing Post-earrings since. They seem to be healing nicely, but I would like to know how much longer before I can wear hooked earrings?

approx. 1 month

    When I got my ears pierced, back in the dark ages (like 1973), they said 3 months. But I think people generally don’t wait that long.

    When I got my ears pierced, they told me 6-8 weeks. And I never switched earrings because they got infected 4 weeks later. Hope this helps!

    i started a year after. even if they look like they are healing nicely, wearing hooked earring can stretch out the holes.

    Wait 6-8 weeks and your ears should be fine.
    oh- and make sure you clean your ears with alcohol— it will keep them from getting infected

    They say to keep them in for about a month. When I was in Kindergarten I got mine pierced, and actually took them out before that month was up. When I thought they weren’t pierced in the the 6th grade I was surprised to find they never actually closed. As long as there is SOME kind of earring in the hole, I think it will be ok. Just don’t leave it open for any longer than to switch earrings. Also, since they’re healing, be sure to put the alcohol or solution given to you everyday to prevent any infection. Since you got them in August, I think you’re good to go! Have fun!
