How to write rhead only on the first page - what is wrong with the code?

Question

How to write rhead only on the first page? Why does this code not work?

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\lhead{}
\chead{}
\usepackage{amssymb} 
\usepackage{atbegshi}
\rhead{AAAAAA}
\AtBeginShipoutFirst{\rhead{}}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\begin{document}
AAAAAAAA
\newpage
AAAAAAAAA
\end{document}

Would it be possible somehow with \AtBeginShipoutFirst{\rhead{}}? — Elena Greg, Mar 20 '21 at 08:08
your code writes only on the first page -- what is the problem — js bibra, Mar 20 '21 at 08:30
My impression is that you want to remove the right header in the first page, is this correct? — egreg, Mar 20 '21 at 09:15
I want to remove the right header on the second page. I would like to have it only on the first one. — Elena Greg, Mar 20 '21 at 09:22

My impression is that you want to suppress the header in the first page.

You can use a conditional in the code for the right header (but this will keep the rule).

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead{}
\fancyhead[R]{\ifnum\value{page}=1 \else AAAAAA\fi}
\setlength{\headheight}{13.6pt}
\begin{document}
AAAAAAAA
\newpage
AAAAAAAAA
\end{document}

Alternatively, issue \thispagestyle{plain} after \begin{document}.
