Your surgeon should have given you detailed instruction including your plan for return to exercise. It depends on the type of procedure you've done, FUT takes a lot of time to heal and I don't know the details. FUE you don't really have to worry about much after 20 days, work your way up in intensity I guess. When it comes to contact sports there's some conflicting info. But run all you want or lift if you want. I would avoid going to failure, it's not necessary anyway.

FUE after 7 days you are fine. Grafts are pretty much fully anchored, all though studies show grafts are permanently secure after 9 days.
FUT I would wait around 14 days and avoid movements that might stretch the back of your head such as pull ups and direct trap work. At this time the stitches will re removed.
in other words, You are 100% fine to work out.

No a cap won't do any harm your grafts are fully sealed in, just watch out for the sun.
